That is fairly expensive. Are you at a supermarket? I know that here there are more than one type of tomato, and some are like, 1.50, but others are maybe .75?

Again, if you're able to go to a farmers' market, you'll be able to get those much cheaper, as it cuts out the middle man. I guess it also depends on how much of the tomato you eat. Like, do you get one or two meals out of it? I know personally, I generally eat half or a whole tomato when I eat them.

Also, do you guys have Aldi up there? If you do, you should definitely go there. The produce isn't always as great, but it's diiiiiiiiiiiiiiirt cheap. Like, if I go to a regular supermarket, an avocado costs 1.75 or more. If I go to Aldi, it costs .30. The only down-side is that they aren't ripe, but if you throw them in a paper bag for a day or two, it will ripen up. A lot of Aldi produce is like that. You can also get other healthy food (brown rice, almond milk, meat) for much cheaper. So yeah, if you have an Aldi (we all call it Aldi's with an apostrophe S here) then I'd take a gander.
