This summer they have been running about $2.50 a pop! Though today I did see some for like $1.39. I truthfully refuse to buy them unless they are $1.00 or less. Actually $0.99 is my cutoff.

I just paid $1.39 each. Had a hankerin' for guacamole that just wouldn't quit. The least I've ever seen them for here in northern Iowa was 99 cents ea., and then they were nasty and stringy.

I was just talking about the price of avocados with a friend of mine. Stop and Shop has them for 2 for $3 and I believe Shaws is price gouging them at $2 something a piece. I was telling my friend that the best place to buy them is at Trader Joe's, they sell a guacamole kit which comes with 2 avocados, 1-2 plum tomatoes, 1 jalapeño, a clove of garlic, a small onion and a lime for $2.69. Even if I don't make guacamole I end up using everything in the kit so it is a good deal.

they are about 99 cents or so. we live in a very diverse area so we get lots of good prices on lots of different foods.

i hate avocados but hubby loves them so i have to start paying more attention to the prices.
