All prices will go up due to increased fuel cost which affects shipping costs.

Nah frost, not fuel. I looked it up. A bunch of articles like this one:

Freezes that hurt Mexican production and Florida’s crop have escalated Florida tomato prices to stratospheric levels. Tony DiMare, vice president of the DiMare Co., Homestead, which also has operations in central Florida, said prices had tripled from $10-12 on extra large tomatoes and $12-14 on large and mediums to $35 across the board in only a couple of days after the Mexican freeze. No wonder. Prices have tripled.
