If you eat a lot of pasta I would recommend learning some simple sauce recipes. Tomato sauce is probably the cheapest, and it's basically a can of whole tomatoes, half an onion, some garlic, and some herbs. Cream sauces might be cheaper to buy canned, but you can make those with some cream, onions, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
Other than that it looks like you're making good choices. The system just sucks ass. I hope your next trip is more fruitful.
Bechamel costs pennies per serving to make and is the base for a million other sauces. Also far far better for you than that prego garbage.
Just wanted to second this. Learning to use a roux as a base saves me so much money and effort. A bit of butter(or any oil) and flour makes any creamy sauce/soup/stew you'd like. Add milk, broth, spices, garlic, cheese... The skies the limit and it's a lot cheaper than cream or cream cheese, and I always have it in the house.
I don't keep milk or heavy cream in the house and I don't think it would work as well with soy, so I don't think this will work for everyone.
It will absolutely work fine with fake milk. The mechanism you're using is boiling the fried flour. Any (edible) liquid will work.
Hey now, OP bought tomatoes, those are technically a fruit!
Also, you don't have to make fresh sauce everytime. You can make a large batch, then freeze it in ice cube trays, then move the cubes into ziplock.
