Ours have stayed the same price, for months ...

Organic tomatoes ... $2.98/lb.

[devere]

Shop somewhere else. I just bought tomatoes for 99 cents a pound from a farmer’s market.

It’s November.

[The Duke]

All I ask is that there be free market competition among the purveyors of tomatos (and everything else).

[Responsibility2nd]

Have you considered it’s not Walmarts fault?

Produce prices are local and seasonal.

The grocery markets are going to take pricing through the stratosphere and fleece everyone until Trump gets in on January 20.

Welcome to the new normal in America. We thought we could have huge deficits forever, with no consequences.

Inflation always happens in countries and empires with high debt. It's why Louis XVI was sent to the guillotine. France had high debt and high inflation.

Trump has his work cut out for him.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Really?

[Revel]

About 90% of tomatoes in the last 20 years are not worth 5 cents a pound. They really messed them up.

[Persevero]

Well, it is November

[Eccl 10:2]

Why would you think that “The grocery markets are going to take pricing through the stratosphere and fleece everyone until Trump gets in on January 20.”???

Do you believe the grocery markets are mad that Trump won, and are out to punish their customers?

And what would Trump do to stop it? Institute price controls?

I am in Florida and just got some for 98 cents a pound.

Maybe you were comparing to organic tomatos which are often 2 to4 times higher.

[piasa]

What makes you think grocery stores like inflation more than you do?

They don’t like it.

Our local one just closed its doors. It is a tough business. They are hurting from inflation, too.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It's called the law of supply and demand.

[EvilCapitalist]

They also just raised the price of a 2lb. block of cheese from $7.34 to $8.24. This was on Friday in PA.

[Harpotoo]

Gas is up here a dime in raleigh. Got to get that 10% irregardless of who is coming into the house;-)

[monkeyshine]

Making America Healthy Again is gonna cost some money. Demand for fresh produce will rise.

[waterhill]

I don’t buy Walmart produce. Eww.

[Biblebelter]

At my Aldi, I have not ever seen Roma tomatoes above 99 cents a pound.

I buy them firm, and give them at least a week to ripen up.

They ain’t even in the same universe as home grown but they will do.

[NEMDF]

Probably that it is almost winter. Our tomatoes have been $4/lb for many months, for the “good ones”. They have been pretty tasty, and I usually get 2 or 3 each week. Romas are about $2/lb. The cherry and grape tomatoes fluctuate alot, and come in odd size packages. Sometimes the “on the vine” (where 3 or 4 are still connected) are about $3/lb.
