The prices I’ve seen at the farmers market haven’t been $1.99/lb but more like 2.50 per tomato. Though Publix is outrageous also. I guess I can compare prices better.
But as retiredguy says, they are just buying at wholesale markets and reselling. One thing I noticed is the produce doesn’t always look great. Sort gives the illusion of organic but probably just rejects that Publix declined.
