Yep, I'm going back later this week and stocking up on those puppies, I make a mean guacamole, and the extras will go in the freezer! Yippee!

Thanks GlimR I am there..I think..wait hold my horses..can you have too many avocados? i have had to throw away mushy ones when i (typically) buy too much. is there a way to prolong the shelf life?

Aghhhhhh.it might have been last week at Publix!! New sale starts Monday!!!

To prolong the shelf life, after they start to give a tiny bit put them in the fridge...this keeps them fresh and usable for a week or so. Just made some guac and some avo/cacao pudding...love both~

WOW, I have never seen them for a buck a piece around here. That would be awesome.

Yesterday at the supermarket they had avacados that weren't even close to ripe (very green) or TOO ripe (very mushy). Uggggh, so I wait for them to ripen up.

Question on that though........how ripe is too ripe? I never really know if it's ok to get the mushy ones. Why do you all think?

I just got back from my local Walmart, where they are 98 cents each. As for how to buy, if you want to use it today, get one that gives a little around the stem area, but is not mushy on the sides. Mushy = over ripe.

AHHH that made my day too- on the weekend i went to my local meijer and BOOM 10 FOR $10 +11th FREE !!!!!!!! I GOT 11 just because i don't know how to store more (i heard freezing makes them a bit yucky).. should i go get more? mmmmmmmmmm I ADORE AVOCADOS!!!!!!

P.S. and i have to say- there are no avocados like Meijer avocados..... no other store can compare! they're HUGE and juicy every time i buy them! GO MEIJER!

If anyone lives near a Martin's Supermarket (Indiana and Michigan people), they have been 5 for $5.00 for the last few months.

I have put mine in the fridge to extend their shelf life, but do you all put them in the freezer? How does that work?

I just got an advertisement from Safeway that starting tomorrow, March 26th, avocados are going on sale for a buck each. The sale is good through next Tuesday April 1st.
