The 200 yen tomato

I was in the supermarket today in the produce section and just about had a heart attack. Since when did veggies get so expensive??!! It costs 200 yen for one tomato! That's ridiculous. Sure, I understand that with all the typhoons this year, the crops in Japan suck... but Japan imports most of its produce from China. There was no big agricultural calamity there as far as I know. I feel ripped off.

Hey Liz..
Tomatoes are expensive everywhere now. The hurricanes wiped out most of the US crops....so bad that restaurants over here are actually adjusting their menu prices to help cover the huge increase!
Hope all is well!
