It may be possible to get a $64 tomato. In my case, all of the extra costs you mentioned are already sunk, and included in my yard maintenance, whether I plant tomatoes or leave it bare, or with grass. Except the time. But I got a 6-pack of tomato plants (each with a different time to yield) for less than $5, and now have over 40 tomatoes on the vine.

I bought no fertilizer, and haven't required insecticide, at least not yet. And I'm not watering more, either. Oops, I forgot the tomato cages at $5 total. But they are reusable year to year. This year that's nearly an 800% return! (depending where you buy tomatoes.) This year I will have the added benefit of protection from salmonella insecurity. Priceless.
