Quantity not Quality?

Hera is a pic of some produce I just purchased.

Notice the Tomatoes. These cost 0.25 DOLLARS/LB. All toms are nearly at least 3/4 of a lb. I am having a party tommorow and am going to make a giant bowl of salsa I have quite a few home grown toms right now but to grow them probably cost 2-4$ a lb. The toms in the photo came from a local mexican market, I'll report on the taste tommorow. I paid 3$ for all the toms in the pic, I think this is the cheapest I have ever paid for such good looking tomatoes. I expect the taste will be as cheap as the price.

Don’t count on it they might not be as good as yours but there is a good chance they are better than store bought.
Please let us know.
I used to get tomatoes from a place called Garza’s in Clute TX the tomatoes and the rest of their stuff was better than the stores.

As a matter of fact we would stop there for lunch and just eat vegetables.

Well,

the toms were OK. Firm not mushy, but mild flavor. These are no comparison to home grown toms, although the price was very cheap. I think it will be a while before I find them at that price again.

As I was driving through Oklahoma, I was tempted by one of the roadside stands. I pulled in and was suckered into buying a watermelon (seedless & tasteless), peaches (absolutely incredible), and tomatoes (she actually told me they were Better Boy or one of the boys). I cut into 2 tomatoes, had a few bites, tried to like it. Couldn't. Chucked the whole basket. Out $30.
