Or you could even buy a 99 cent jar of sauce from Wegmans, which is pretty good.

Some of the people I work with bring in SmartChoice and Lean Cuisine meals for lunch all the time and it makes me sick. They smell like dog food and look even worse… so this doesn’t surprise me too much, haha.

the sodium in the tiny meals is high, but so is the sodium in car sauces. Not as high, but still.  
Anything out of a can/box/jar is high in sodium.

I’m so glad I can cook from scratch.
