...are on clearance at my closest Walmart for 75¢ a can for the 28 oz. cans. This is their diced and crushed organic fire roasted tomatoes. Anyone here ever used them? I figured for that price, I couldn't go wrong. What do y'all think?

At that price it sure as heck is worth a try!
Yup good price . I use the other types of Muir Glen . I Stay away from diced tomatoes in general . They have an additive that helps them keep their shape .
I like them to break down when I cook with them . Nothing at all wrong with them if you like to have chunks . At that price , I'd buy some though .

Tried those once, didn’t care for them.
Rolling my own now.

No doubt home grown and roasted would be better, but since I don't plant tomatoes anymore, that's not an option. Yours look good and there was a time when I planted and canned a lot of tomatoes...
The diced and the crushed are the only 2 that are on clearance. I didn't know about the additive, thanks...
Nothing wrong with it at all . That's a good brand in my opinion and I do buy the other types when on sale .
I'm not against the additive , I just like for tomatoes to cook down when I use them . At that price I would by some for sure .
Well they had 4 of each so I grabbed them all. Total was $6.00. I've wasted way more money on things much, much more useless so we'll see. I think they'll be just fine and I'll probably end up wishing that I could've gotten more...
Good deal . I didn't want my first reply to be taken as negative . Kind of been bothering me , so I'm glad you got some .
I do use the canned diced for salsa . There is a dry pack salsa seasoning from Mrs. Wages that's pretty good that I use diced in .
The crushed would be good for pizza sauce .

I didn't take anything as a negative, so no worries there. I did do some research and the additive you spoke of is calcium chloride and it's used to increase firmness just as you said. I never knew that so I learned something new.
As for the salsa mix, I've used the Mrs. Wages several times when I used to can my own tomatoes and it's pretty good. I could always find it at Walmart...
Ok . Great . Yup same is used in canned fruit .
I price checked yesterday when I was at the store . $3.35 for a 28 oz . can of the diced or crushed .
Well darn, 75¢ a can was a great deal...
There is no additive on most diced tom's the ingredients are exactly the same as the whole tom's you are good to go!!!
That's right . Common additive to canned tomatoes and canned fruits .
Also pickles, or vegetables that you don't want to turn to mush.
