How much are Avocados in your area?

[hootiehoo]

I live in California, Home of the Avocado :D, and I always wonder how much people pay for them in other parts of the country/world.

I can usually get large haas avocados for $1.29 median price. A lot of times they are on sale for cheaper.

i live in south philadelphia where we have a large mexican community. in the mexican market type area theyre about 1.25 & they are always RIPE. it makes me so happy to always be able to get a ripe avocado round the corner.

i've never seen them cheaper than that.

[lanettasmouse]

it depends upon the store for where i'm at. but on average about the same price, give or take a few cents. and i live in TN

[Anastazia]

I'm in BC, Canada, & just got some organic ones from our co-op for 89 cents each! & they were a nice size, & soooo much more flavorful than non-organic!
We could get as many or as few as we wanted for that price! Wish I'd gotten more!

I'm in New England and they are $1.99 per avo in my town--a ridiculous price as far as I'm concerned. :mad: This is a major peeve of mine. And they are never ripe.

Hmph! *grumble*

[raweater]

The organic ones are $1.49-$1.99 around here in Quebec, Canada. I think non organic is $0.99 but I'm not sure, I only get those the rare times I really want one and they're out of organic.

[Raene]

They're $1.45 for Haas here in upstate NY.

[beckx]

usually $1.99 at the market for organic, sometimes they go as low as $1.29 or $.99 when they're trying to get rid of them. and trader joes here sells them four for $4.50 or so (organic). that's the haas variety. we never see the big green ones organic here but they're about $1.50 - $2 conventional.

[shashibala]

I just bought some for 2 bucks each.:eek: They are organic, but the
non- organic ones were the same price. (Syracuse, New York)

[mrsbrunette]

2 for a dollar for the regular size. sometimes cheaper.

[lavendarJ]

It varies, can be $2 each...what I've seen lately is 2/$5

[Cinnamon]

I just bought two today and they were $2.98 each (organic). I think that is soooo expensive!

Oh, and that was a "sale" price!

[Aleesha Sattva]

i'm in bc canada as well. and i pay between 89 cents and $1.30 each.

[rawererin]

In Michigan the regular avos are usually 3 for $5, the Haas, omg forget about it, $2.50+

[Baby Bird]

Even here in sunny SoCal there is quite a lot of variation.

Yesterday at SoPas farmer's market, I paid 50 cents a piece for three perfectly ripe Bacons. Hass were $1 each from the same grower. I love MacArthurs (ugly but delicious), but they can be $3 a piece(!)

Let's not even discuss WHole Foods.

While visiting family, I saw big Hass avos at Harris Teeter in Durham, NC 2 weeks ago for $6 a piece. Gak!

[KatK]

2 for $5 in my part of NH.

[walnutty]

Small organic ones are $2.59 at Whole Foods OR small non-organic ones are 5/$1 at Walmart Supercenters. Needless to say, in this situation I get the non-organic...that's a crazy, crazy price for small organic avocados, don't ya think?

[rawberri]

Here in Toronto I have a 24 hour produce stand right by my house, they generally cost $0.99 each, or I bought some yesterday at the grocery store, 4 for $3.50.

It's so weird, cause I just moved here from Florida, where there was lots of fresh produce, but I can generally get stuff cheaper here. Go figure! Young coconuts 24 hours a day for $0.99, I was never getting that back home!

Walnutty,
That's a great price, usually I can only find that if there is a huge pile of them and they are REALLY ripe, about to go off. That's the best!

[dread head vegan]

when i was in san antionio tx they where .50 for med ones (non oraganic) i am in colorado now and they aer 1.20-2.00 for organic and 1.00 for non organic.. depends on the store

[CrazyDelicious]

I am in Toronto, and I pay about average 1.29 for organic. It really varies though - if I want to go to whole foods, I can pay 2 dollars or more (saw them there once for 2.69 for ONE) or I can go to a local market and get them for 89 cents (non organic). Same with most fruits/veggies though.
By the way, I never buy avocadoes ripe - I buy them 2 at a time and usually have 6 or 7 ripening at home (different stages) so I can always have ripe ones. I find buying ripe can end up in some being bad. I never get bad ones this way!! :D

[bananafana]

I'm in southeast Michigan and I just bought 4 avos this morning for $1.99 each. They are organic but the non organic were the same price. All four are pretty ripe, so we will probably have to eat them this weekend.

[BeadedGraces]

Here in Texas they are about .50 each...and usually that means brown spots but lately...every avocado I have purchased has been perfect!!! yummm....

[BeadedGraces]

now they are $1 each!!!!

[buffalogal]

Last week, I couldn't believe that our Super Walmart had a giant bin of beautiful unripe avocados for $.50 each!!! I bought 20 of them and have been keeping them in the refrigerator so they don't ripen too quickly. I take out 1 or 2 a day to ripen and they have been delicious. Of course, I'm sure they aren't organic, but I scrub them up and they've been great. I don't think I'll find too many bargains like that though!!! I'm really enjoying them.:)

[Vivafree2]

Toronto, Canada - 99 c small delicious Mexican Rivas not organic,
Organic are about 1.50 C but usually too ripe.

[Eva]

1.99 for the big ones, 1.50 for the small ones, 1.99 for organic <--- in the big store

1.29 in the small store that has a lot of produce, but they're always icky when I open them

2.49 at the organic/natural food shop, and they're always in great condition

I'm on an island off the coast of Massachusetts.

When I was in FL, I noticed they were about 1.29 in Jacksonville or sometimes on sale for as little as .89 with combo deals. (but not organic; there was very little organic available as far as I could tell when visiting my mom)
