The $7.00 tomato!! by ggshearron

The $7.00 tomato!!

We had just been to a different farm market, bought a few tomatoes, some peaches, and on the way home, we noticed another market that we decided to stop in and check out (in New Albany….the town where the owner of the Limited stores lives). Well, we decided to get some string beans at this second market, and one of the tomatoes we saw that looked amazing. Yeah, we get to the checkout, realize the damn thing was $7.00 ($6.98/lb), and just bought it because we didn’t wanna look like cheap skates!!! Wow…..ever done anything like that yourself? Lemme know! By the way, the bananas were only $0.50/lb and cost $1.89.
That is a big… pricey tomato… everything is stupid expensive these days… I might’ve asked if I could make a down payment and pick it up next week haha!

Expensive indeed, but the big question is, was it a great tasting tomato and worth the price?

It is beautiful and large, is it a "steak" tomato? There is a book out there called the $65 Tomato about a guy that decided to grow his own veggies, by the time he was done buying supplies and going through the summer working and tending, he calculated that his tomatoes cost him $65 each....hope it tastes as good as it looks!!

@ososki I actually did taste pretty good, but I have to be honest, not $7.00 good!

@theredcamera It was a beefsteak tomato (we already ate that sucker!), with lots of red in the middle, instead of that loose stuff with the seeds. Pretty good but not $7.00 good.

Live and learn - prices are increasing but that seems a bit ridiculous
