Aldi VS Name Brand Marinara Sauce | Rao Versus Reggano Versus Specialty Selections | John Eats Cheap

John tests three different marinaras to see which is the best! Does more money mean a better taste?

Solid, no-BS review! Keep up the great content, John. We appreciate it.

Okay so here's the thing, our American palet is use to sugary, and flavorful sauces. Sometime simple sauces to some are just plain simple but to others the simplicity highlights the natural tomato flavor. I like all these sauce brands.

Regarding this review, I would have liked to see the arrangement of the bottles to ensure each test sample was placed correctly. Additionally, like many qualitative reviews, this one is very subjective to the individual conducting it.

As an avid trainer who has worked in gyms and embraced bodybuilding throughout my life, I can say that most people I have met or trained are so used to eating overly processed foods that they quickly dismiss healthy options as bland. This is mainly due to the prevalence of overly salted and sugary meals in the US, especially in fast food, where sugar is added to bread, fries, and more.

Moreover, an important detail not considered in this review is the quality of the ingredients. The second-place bottle contains natural flavoring, added sugar, and soybean oil, which are factors to seriously consider before consuming. On the other hand, Rao’s uses olive oil, although refined, which could also be a deal-breaker for some.

As for the Aldi brand, I feel they offer quality products at an affordable price. However, I would like to see how consistent they are with their sauce before claiming it is better than Rao’s. In my experience, Rao’s is very consistent, and I have been using their sauces and noodles for my Italian dishes for several years.

Lastly, I would like to know how Aldi’s sauce is manufactured and where. Rao’s is a trusted brand with strong Italian roots, and who knows more about sauces than the Italians, right? 😉

Thanks for the review, actually found this when wanting to try different sauces at Aldi and have never tried any of them. Definitely gonna help my decision, but with how happy you were about this video, I kinda feel like you just wanted an excuse to drink spoonfuls of marinara sauce! 😂😂

I always buy the Aldi's organic brand. It's $1.99, i think.

That's some compelling taste buds you got there. The only thing you proved is that you don't know anything about tomato sauce.
