"If you look at the prices on these apps, you'll be shocked. They're cheaper than all the shops and markets. I order from the app, but not because it's cheaper, but because they sell fresh produce. I am also a restaurateur, and I've always bargained for the best prices. But with rising prices for tomatoes, people have had to compromise on taste and quality. I have too," said
