Carl, have you ever used San Marzano canned tomatoes? I payed $3.88 for a 28oz can of these at Wally world.
The best canned tomatoes I ever had were from Italy but had no salt, calcium chloride, or citric acid in them. These have salt, they better be good.

Yeah, my Mom sometimes uses them to prepare spaghetti sauce. They are pretty good, the sauce always comes out excellent. However, often she will mix different brands. I think she does pay considerably less than 3.88/can. But my folks usually by the stuff in bulk when they can get a good price. They'll buy a case or two. It has a good shelf life.

Planning to open the can tomorrow to make bread pizzas.

Those are peeled tomatoes. When my Mom uses them she generally runs them through a strainer or a food processor to crush out as much of the juice from the tomatoes. She'll do that with three or four cans and add it to a large pot into which she has already added oil , cooked garlic and other stuff Then she'll add flavorings, i.e. bay leaves, basil, maybe some sugar if the tomatoes are bitter, meatballs, etc, Then she'll cook the sauce for several hours.
