I do this every year. I usually pinch my lateral shoots out early when they are small but I'll let one grow to about six or seven inches long and Bobs your uncle you have a new tomato plant.
I buy one tomato plant
and then every three or four weeks I plant a cutting and I've got tomatoes
all season. And it's as easy as it looks. I even just stick the cutting
straight into the ground where I want it to grow.

That's a great cost saving idea. You mention you plant a cutting every 3-4 weeks, do the cutting still end up fruiting at the same time or is each one delayed by 3-4 weeks - extending your total harvest period?
No, the fruiting of each plant is 3-4 weeks behind each other Jason. This is enough tomatoes for me and keeps me supplied all season long.
If you want more tomatoes at the same time then you'd need to plant more cuttings at the same time.
