How the hell are they turning a profit on this stuff.

$6 for 7 lb can,   it's 6:1 reduction, so 42 lbs of tomato for $6,

that's 7lbs per $1 + cooking fuel $ + container $ ??

Capitalism

1) They're all reject tomatoes that are otherwise unsellable;
2) even have if they were free it'd give them profit because cleaning waste is expensive.

fohat.digs:
Tomato paste is expensive. Where in the heck does it cost less than a dollar a pound?

It's only a few cents per tin here. It's possibly the cheapest item in a supermarket.
