$1.39/ea on the shelves at The Butt's, not the $9/bottle that Amazon
charges (contrary to Sheldon's claims that Amazon groceries are
ALWAYS cheaper).

I didn't really like them. But they used to be $1/ea so somebody
much be buying them to raise the price 40%. They have sort of a
chemical/musty taste to me, much like this line of Herdez salsas.

So you might like those, too ($2.99/ea at Butts Emporium)

The same "Herdez" brand Salsa Casera in the small can is THE
STANDARD by which I judge all other tomato salsas (fresh OR
shelf-stable. Much like I consider Duvel the Standard of Belgian
Strong Ales. Each are excellent representations of their basic,
no-frills class of similar products.

$.74/can (prices shown online include mark-up for curbside/delivery)

HEB's Smoky Citrus is my second favorite:

Both are very wet. I sip them more than I use them with food.

I'd offer to send you some of yours or the others, but shipping
prices are such a rip-off these days for the home one-off shipper I
don't even send my mother or brother anything (even though I have
several boxes packed and ready to go!).

But if you have a billing account/shipper # that gets good rates,
just say the word. I'd even pay for the products myself, but not for
the shipping. Shipping costs at those retail shipping stores cost
10x-12X more than shipping stuff from a company or corporation with
very low-cast negotiated rates(*). This Homey don't play those games
(with his wallet).

(*) And yet Amazon is still marking-up your salsa 7X the cost and
has no physical retail overhead.
