It’d potentially eventually pay for itself and save you a $1.33 or much more over a lifetime, but actually when you factor in all the costs of the gardening supplies and water and just all the associated costs with setting yourself up to grow them it’s going to take a lot longer for you to save that $1.33. Hope you like tomatoes, you’ll need to eat plenty to make it worthwhile.
Not what I’m saying, I’m saying that people saying X thing so is free because I didn’t pay for it. Not considering that they didn’t factor in the cost of their time.
obviously you have already decided you’re right and you’re not willing to consider anything else, but let me explain it to you anyways:
some people don’t spend their days calculating the monetary value of their own life and just do the things they enjoy because gardening is fun and fresh food tastes better.
And before you start, just don’t. I don’t need to hear your predictable take on economic theory.
I thought about including that, but it’s harder to value and it’s not necessarily the case that the time spent on this is coming at the expense of time you could or would have spent earning so it felt a bit a disingenuous to mention it.
Also, tomatoes require pretty much the same Ph, moisture, and light levels that Marijuana does. Once you’re good at growing tomatoes, you can switch to a more profitable crop
My MO is much cheaper. I just throw produce waste into a corner of my back yard and see what starts growing. Right now I’ve got about 10 pumpkin plants taking off like crazy. A jalapeño plant too!

Also the cost of your time. People always forget labour costs.
Labor costs? Don’t divide your life into “what if I worked a W2 job 24 hours a day” increments.
You’re not allowed to just enjoy gardening, everything has to be a side hustle.

Or maybe they did consider their time and they have a different attitude than you
It’s not about attitude it’s about fact. Time isn’t free.

Time spent doing something I love isn’t a labor cost, though.
