I often buy it at this time of year - it all keeps perfectly well, and it's even better if it's on sale . I should say that I rarely buy Tomorite though - I usually get the supermarket one or the cheaper alternatives. They're all the same, and do the same job IME.
I’m the same with Tomorite. I find the Doff equivalent which I get from B&M is just as good (my not-very-scientific trials !) but probably half the price.
Feeding toms might not make a big difference to them, but Tomorite etc can make a huge difference for ornamental annuals in pots, like snapdragons or petunias. Roses too seem to really appreciate the lift.
Perhaps I will do a trial next year with identical pots of annuals - one fed, one not. It would be interesting.
I use Doff too @ERICS MUM, and I also use the s'market own brand one. Never noticed any difference with plants I use it for. I only feed my toms a few times in total too, because it's quite late on when they start to set fruit, so it's debateable as to how often is needed. I tend to treat 'em mean.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

It’s probably similar stuff - there can’t be that many factories making tomato food !
I've used Tomorite for as long as I can remember. I've just bought this for £8.75 to use instead - So I'll see how I get on with it next year. I do have seaweed extract, so will supplement with that every week or two.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
