Every time I open a can of tomato sauce it goes bad within a few days. I usually put it in a plastic can or glass covered with plastic but leave for some air in. The temperature inside is fine. Do I need to cover it tight? thanks,

You are storing in the fridge aren't you? I've never seen tomato sauce go bad stored in a fridge if used within a week or so. We usually open a size of container that we will use all at once.

Just throw what you don't use into a freezer bag, express the air out and you can freeze it up to 3 months with no problems. If you are going to use it in a sauce you can just plop it frozen into the sauce and it will thaw that way.

I agree with this approach as well. Extending it to tomato paste, I almost never need a full can of the tomato paste so I line a pie plate with either foil, waxed paper or parchment paper and plop big spoonsful of the paste into the pie plate and freeze. When frozen I then pluck the frozen globs off and put them in a freezer bag and return to the freezer. That way when the recipe calls for a tablespoon of paste, I am good to go. Before I started doing this I threw out more wasted tomato paste than I ever used.
I plop chicken broth, tomato sauce etc. in ice cube trays and freeze. Pop them out and into stews, soups etc.
Before I got the Food Saver, I used to do the same thing with my fresh herbs for winter. I works great.
I have thrown away sooo much sauce, it never occurred to me to freeze it. My thanks to all you guys, you are awesome!
That's what we're here for; glad we could help out!
