That's definitely from someone who never tasted a home grown tomatoe or waters theirs a lot too often, you can buy tomatoes but they taste like literal shit in comparison! ;)

Also you can leave them on the plant a lot longer than they last in the fridge.

So you save a lot more, since you aren't buying tomatoes every week. You just pick them as you need them.

I think the issue is they taste of nothing, and the flesh is all this mealy mush texture. People have a surprisingly low standard of what the accept as a tomato

Yea! Many evdn try to grow their own but water them too much and don't taste the real difference because of that. I love tomatoes but the store bough ones really suck even in summer! (I get that they can't taste all that ripe in winter)
