$.73 avocados!

[deberaw]

....I found them in Walmart! ...been shopping there more for somethings to make the dollar stretch and was thrilled to find a huge amount of avo's for this price! I'm in Michigan....Kalamazoo...but maybe this is the price in other locations as well!.....................:D

[earth_sista]

wow, that's a steal! wish i'd known, i was just in k-zoo for the arthop on friday

[Raene]

Wow, what a steal! Up here they're $1.79 each and we don't have a super walmart.

What we don't purchase at farmers' markets we get at "Ranch" or most any ethnic market. The Armenian market in Glendale sells avos at 69 cents each while the farmers' market gets over $1 each. Try Asian markets for great deals as well.

I find it interesting ...... when fruits and vegetables are the most delicious they are the very best price and when they're not the most flavorful they cost an arm and a leg. At least that's the way it is around here.

[mtraezme]

I just pick them off the trees...

[Coconutcutie]

I planted an avocado tree but we are currently waited for it to produce fruit. In the meantime, my local market had organic avocados for 88 cents each! Yay:D

I only go to Walmart for avocados. Kroger has them $2 each now and when I go to Walmart they always say $1.39 but every time I check out no matter who is the cashier they ring up REALLY cheap, like less than $1. But 73 cents is very common at my Walmart Neighborhood Market.

They had them five for a dollar Friday here in OK. I've never seen them that low! Made a huge bowl of guac for dinner that night!

I USED TO PICK EM OFF THE TREE... BEFORE I BROKE MY LEG!! LOL

i miss picking fresh fruit off the trees~~
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA........
i used to get lemons, limes, avocados, oranges, grapefruits, and figs~!!
occasionally apples, grapes, and berries

it's great when you can get it that fresh! :D

It has been a while, but the last time I was at the store the avocados were over $2.00 each! Now I get some every couple weeks from the CSA but don't know how much they are separately!. I am sure, however, that they are close to, if not more than, $2.00 each! Of course part of the cost is the air shipment up here.

I just ordered three more for the next couple weeks and they should be here in another couple days.

they are 88 cents which is great and i try to buy the hard ones.
And the largest ones i can find:)
I try to buy as many as i can at a time, it saves money.

I've been buying my giant avocados at Costco. 6 huge ones in a bag for $5. Also Fresh & Easy has the small ones, 5 in a bag for $3.24.
The Walmarts out here in Las Vegas always sell stringy avocados. I like to eat mine plain or with a bit of sea salt and cannot handle the stringy ones. The stringy ones also have black spots inside.

[GlimR]

I buy mine at Costco too...they are big and always good.:)

[veganbear]

well I could cry... I've just gone to Whole Foods here in London and the are £1:87 each. So heading on for $4 each here.

[raw_danceruk]

Yeah but wholefoods aint called whole paycheque for nothing!!

I get four organic ones for £1.99

or a whole bag full of lovely big ones from the market for £2.50.. they often throw in the ripey ones for free! lovely jubbley!

standard supermarket, two for £1.00.. really not bad at all!

[deberaw]

...what a fun thread this has become! How fun to read everyone's responses! Now go eat an avo!.....Deb:D

[RawPaw]

I get them in Houston for fiddy cents, but they aren't organic.

[rawforthesoul]

I have never in my life found an inexpensive avocado. I'm always at the store at the wrong time I guess, haha.

[iluvmangos]

If you have an Aldi store near you, they sell avocados pretty cheap. I think I paid $.89 each for them when I picked some up this week. I've seen them there for cheaper than that, though.

[Raw Hope]

okay DEBERAW I will be checking out Walmart avocados here in GR,MI now
thanks

[Rinda]

I got a whole box of avocados (60 of them) for $36.00

Such a fantastic price!! Of course not organic even though we would prefer it but, some say that avocados are on the bottom of the list for any chemical sprays so we opt to save money with these.

I stopped at a Mexican store to get some and was fishing through a bunch of very, very over ripe ones (probably black inside). A young worker there asked me if they are good in his mexican accent and I let him know "not really" and he said he'll go back and get another box. He came out with it and I asked him how much for the whole box. He came back and told me $36.00!!!!!! Wow!! I definitely took it! Can't beat that!! My husband asked me why I didn't get two boxes. :(

By the way, the price absolutely does not reflect the quality on these. They are beautiful, delicious avocados.

Are you kiddin' me?? I'm so moving to OK. :eek: :D

[Eva]

Oh my!!!!! I'm reading all of these responses, and I am BLOWN AWAY! Where I live, the cheapest I've ever seen them (on "sale" --- NON organic) is $1.50 each. But that's usually the price; they're just calling it a sale because... hmmm, well, I don't know actually.

The organic ones are only 20 cents more, so I always get organic these days for $1.69. They do taste much better... although in the beginning of this journey I thought they tasted the exact same...

[rawererin]

Omg!!!!!!!!
