"Can you buy the little seed packets at like wal-mart and hold those also?" Buy non-hybrid seeds. Organic seeds should enable you to save seeds from the crop to replant next season. Hybrids usually won't produce useable seeds.

"Hybrids usually won't produce useable seeds."Not sure exactly what you meant by 'useable', but most any seed properly dried and kept will produce a plant and edible produce. With hybrids, you will get one of the parents, not the hybrid variety.

I’ll have to do some reading on this. On a hybrid tomato plant, are the re-plantable seeds inside the fruit?

I buy, or should say bought, tomato sets at the local nursery. Several years ago. the left-overs self seed and come back strong with plenty of fruit year after year. So if you want tomatoes for life, don't waste your money on boutique seeds. Just buy your preferred variety and leave a few on the ground every Fall.
You'll have tomatoes to give away.
