- nemo44x 2y agoNo they’re cheap. But compared to the other ingredients which are mainly subsidized…
- ac29 2y agoNah, even at retail prices canned tomatoes are less than a dollar a pound if you buy the big cans (#10, approx 6 lb / 3kg).
- s1artibartfast 2y agoStill more than flour and water,no?
- rcxdude 2y agoThe US has a lot of 'food deserts', areas where there's no easy access to a supermarket with fresh food. But there's usually plenty of fast and processed food available, and it's often cheaper than fresh.
- phil21 2y agoFresh tomatoes worth eating raw are relatively expensive. Tomatoes (cans or buckets of sauce) used for frozen pizza are very cheap in bulk food service level packaging.
- protonbob 2y agotbh canned tomatoes actually taste better because they aren't raising them for appearance like the horrible ones at the grocery store.
- johnisgood 2y agoFresh tomatoes are cheap here, although I have to admit their taste has deteriorated over time. The canned ones are better to use as an ingredient due to this reason.
