My mother always used the spaghetti sauce seasoning packets when I was growing up, but I can't remember which brand (maybe McCormick, I'll have to ask her). My friends always loved my mother's spaghetti and would ask to eat dinner with us when she made it. I use to make it too before I got married. But, when DH and I got married, he was such a cry-baby because his mother always used Ragu. Rather than listen to his whining every time I made spaghetti, I just gave in and started buying Ragu.

Now, I buy Ragu (jar) if I catch it on sale cheap.... if not, I buy Hunt's in the can. Either way, I doctor them up as well. Not too long ago, Kroger had their brand of spaghetti sauce (jar) on sale and I tried it. To my surprise, it was every bit as good as Ragu, if not better. I don't stick with just one flavor though, I buy different flavors depending on what I'm using it for. (i.e. - spaghetti, rigatoni & meatballs, cheese ravioli, ziti & italian brats, etc.)
