Why can I never find these in the supermarkets! lol. I think I'm going to have to look harder in future...

The sainsburys ones should be on the bottom shelf within the indian jarred sauces section.
Not sure on the other supermarkets.

Its gone down again! Its now just 6p a jar!! How they can make profit on that I don't know!!

Simple answer is they absolutely don't make a profit on it! There's no way on earth, the jar itself would probably cost 6p+! Like the tea bags and a few other things (3 soaps for 13p, anyone? ) they pick out certain 'target' products and pitch them at a ridiculous price to attract punters who they hope will go on to purchase stuff that does derive a profit.

Thanks - am going to have a look for that. I have some veggies I want to make into curry and usually do my own sauce... if I don't get time to do my own, that looks a good option!

Thanks :-)

Yick ! Was that the bit that was referred to as 'Extra Special' on the label - don't shout about it or everyone will want one ?!

strangely enough - the basics/economy ranges are generally healthier with less sugar/salt/rubbish than more expensive brands!

I have used the sainsburys cooking curry sauce for ages and it did start off at
4p. per jar.the price does go up and down a bit at times but I think the most I paid for it was around 13 p.I found it great for a basis for most curries and if you want to liven it up a bit you can with extra herbs and spices.When ever its down to 4p again I shall stock up as its very tasty and stores well.I use to jars afterwards for cleaning paint brushes in,or storing odds and ends.If you think its too hot then chuck a cheapo cream frais tub or natural yoghurt in it to 'cool it' down a bit.One of my grandsons adores curry sauce with his chips so at 4p its cheaper than from the chippy. I actually made some mince with the curry sauce and a tin of tomato's and used it as a base for a red spicy tomato lasagne. Made a change from the white cheesey sauce
