In my quest of garlic free living I have discovered a few favorites.

Annie's brand ketchup and mustards (all garlic free)

Newman's Own Salsa (also garlic free)

Smart Balance Mayonnaise (contains paprika instead of garlic)

and lastly organic tomato puree.

Since most tomato sauces contain garlic (except for 3 uber-expensive brands I've come across), it is really hard to make sauce on the cheap. Thankfully my mom came across organic tomato puree, all it contains is tomatoes. With the puree I mix in spices of my choice (in my case oregano, basil, and onion) and some, okay a lot of salt to get the perfect mixture that is stomach happy and can be used with pasta, pizza, or anything I want! Overall the organic tomato puree gas been a big success for me and with a pretty decent jar at $3.50 a pop its a lifesaver compared to the $10.00 sauces one can find (mostly if garlic free they are of the tomato basil variety btw).
