A New Sauce!

Recently, a girl-friend of my wife and her hubby were on a trip that took them through Kansas City.
She brought us back a  bottle of BBQ sauce labeled "Gates Original Classic"  sauce.
Terrific!  A wonderful tangy-sweet tomato flavor.
Of course, it's not for sale here on the Left Coast, but I have found their web site and can order it.
Anyone else tried this sauce?

No, But I see it's on Amazon. Pricey $11.99 with free shipping.

I may give it a try.

Good point @GregW.
Online, it's a phone-in order only for single bottles (not some sort of set).
They don't have the nuts to give their price!  
I'll have to call them to find out; might make Amazon look good.
Thanks!

That's a much better deal. Assuming shipping and handling doesn't kill you.

Good find on the recipes. 
I will try them.

Amazon's Prime prices for many products are simply insane - they bake the shipping into the price and for heavy items, it just becomes absurd. Check out laundry detergent prices. $20 for detergent that's $5 at Walmart.

Thanks a lot for all the posts on on-line buying!
Also, I appreciate the recipe.
I will probably try cooking my own!

No problem, @jaydub58.  When in doubt, Google it out.

I've noticed the high prices also. You have to really be careful with Amazon. It seems like a lot of the grocery items are way over priced. Electronics seem to be more competitive.
