Tomato sauce is really simple. It will cost you just as much to make your own as to buy off the shelf, BUT, the quality is much better, and you know what's in it. No worries about federal permissible quantities of insect parts etc.
Best ever is when you grow your own tomatoes, onions, garlic and herbs.
