Low Sodium Food Find - Tomato Sauce

Low Sodium (LS) tomato products are not impossible to find.  Kroger has their store brand have a green band for easy identification.  I always try to mention how much I appreciate the carriage of LS products.  I even go so far as direct employees toward products that actually taste good as well.  As such I've also mentioned to Meijer that they stopped carrying a LS brand of salsa: Frog Ranch.  I also in-aisle promoted it to another customer that was browsing the only other store in Lexington that still carries it; Kroger.

But today I am giving props to Sav-A-Lot food stores (SAL) at Lexington's Eastland shopping center.  They have a pretty low selection of LS as a whole, but they do regularly stock one of my hardest to find products.  Tomato Sauce.  A product of the 50s, tomato sauce is lightly seasoned and simmered, not simply pureed tomato  One of my favorite quickee pizza sauce recipes just adds minced onions to tomato sauce.  The SAL  store brand,  Diane's Garden is only 4/$1.  I use it as a quick pasta sauce for one.  Its perfect for a dine alone night.  Most nights LOL. I pop open the can, add, black pepper, onion powder, minced garlic, Italian seasoning and a splash of vinegar.  I swizzle stir it right in the can.  Super quick.
