Tomatoes are $2.99/lb?

[Al B. Sure!]

Is it just me or are tomatoes far more expensive than they used to be?

Anyone else like me who enjoys eating tomatoes and are feeling the higher prices?

All prices will go up due to increased fuel cost which affects shipping costs.

Stop being a ***** and grow some tomatoes. You probably have the time for it.

Nah frost, not fuel. I looked it up. A bunch of articles like this one:

Freezes that hurt Mexican production and Florida’s crop have escalated Florida tomato prices to stratospheric levels.

Tony DiMare, vice president of the DiMare Co., Homestead, which also has operations in central Florida, said prices had tripled from $10-12 on extra large tomatoes and $12-14 on large and mediums to $35 across the board in only a couple of days after the Mexican freeze.

No wonder. Prices have tripled.

Tomatoes have gone up more then most food items though due to crop failure.

Mexico, Florida, and India all suffered freezing weather during the prime tomato growing season and lost most of their crops so now if you buy a tomato in the US it is almost assuredly from California. California farmers are having a field day.

I had a seedling two years ago I had no room for in my garden, so I put it in a 6" pot and placed it by a sunny window in my living room.

My house pepper is still producing little hot peppers for me, summer and winter.

Lament tomatoes if you will, but part of the increase is the same increase as is being seen overall, which is due to fuel costs. It's not just food. Lot of things. Most things.
I know home improvement contractors that have raised their rates due to fuel costs.
