They've been priced at $1.99 each around here for most of the summer.

No more than $.50 each, max.
They are often on sale 2 to 3 for $1.00.
Any higher than that, I simply don't buy them.
I can live without avocados out of season.

If I saw Hass avocados for $1.30 I would jump all over them. $2 is a
good price here (North Carolina).

Mary,
The ACME supermarket across the street from the produce market sells small
Hass for $2.00/ea. They've been priced that high forever. After pitted
there's probably only two or three tablespoons of edible avo. The BUMS!!!

I used to see 'em for that price quite often when I lived in the Houston

Grocery prices up here (Baltimore area) are just higher in general, and the

Peter,
Well, there's that supply channel "criminal activity" issue again. I can
see Texas getting the Hass from Mexico, cheap!
My produce market gets them from the Calavo avocado growers concern of
California.
The produce market's avos usually sell out, or realistically, I've never
seen ripened avos there. The ACME avos are priced to rot. Not bad if you
need fast guac but at that price, not for me, I'll buy a pack of AvoClassic
first.

I only buy them when they're under a dollar each, which isn't very
often. The current price here is $1.49 each. Too rich for my blood.

that's inexpensive or not, as I never really bought crabmeat before moving

I can't say that it has ever happened to me. While the avocados I buy vary
considerably in size, the pits all seem to be about the same size.

Trader Joe's was selling guacamole "kits," that had two guacs, an

We'll be finding out this spring/summer in New Zealand. Our last
"weather bomb" just after Easter - with hurricane force winds (gusts
from 180 - 200kmph!!!) - destroyed much of the new season's Hass crop.
So either we'll benefit from low prices because damaged fruit won't be
export quality ... or we'll pay through the nose because demand
excedes supply due to flowers and setting fruit being wiped out.
According to reports it will take at least two years for NZ's avocado
industry to recover and some small to medium sized growers are
expected to go under because of the loss of income.
So ... how much would I pay for a Hass? If it's export quaility and
good sized, I'd pay up to three dollars and get my money's worth by
using it wisely. Needless to say, I won't be making any guacamole ...

Nope. Not I. I'm familiar with TJ's small tub of pesto (not as good as

Like with other fruits, a bit of lemon juice will help keep avocados

When I slice them ahead of time for meals and salads, I'll treat them

Northland - which is where we live - was one of the hardest hit areas
and is one of the country's main avocado growing areas.
As you've sussed out, it also has a number of kiwi fruit orchards. But
I haven't heard anything about Northland's kiwi fruit growers having
suffered major losses or damage.
In fact, I've been gorging myself on a steady supply of golden
kiwifruit for at least the past six weeks and picked up another few
kilos when we did our weekly shopping on Tuesday. So perhaps the main
harvest has already been brought in and stored. Don't know, but I'll
ask next time we're at our big local grower (Huanui Orchards) and ask
them.
One of the saddest things about the recent blow is that it took down
quite a few mature avocado trees as well. As a result, some growers
are going to experience drops in production until the replacement
trees can catch up.

I paid 29¢ apiece for a half dozen very nice but underripe Hass avocados
at Aldi's a last weekend. I picked only avocados that still had the
"tit" intact, and they are ripening on my kitchen counter. Should be
ready in another day or two.

One common option is not necessarily a direct replacement, it is often
(usually?) simply a matter of redefining your "needs".
However, for at least some avocado uses, you can use the frozen puree
stored in times of plenty. For example:
<quoting from <http://www.avocado.org/about/fruit_selection.php> >
Pureed avocados freeze very well and can be used in salads, sandwiches
and dips.
Wash, seed and peel the fruit as described above. [See reference URL.]
Puree the flesh, adding one tablespoon of lemon juice for each two
pureed avocados. Pack the puree into an air-tight container, leaving
one inch of headspace. [I'm trialing simple ziplock plastic bags.]
Seal and label the containers. [Labels? Labels... 8-) ]
Freeze and use within four to five months.
</quoting>
Cheers, Phred.

I believe Wonder bread (or something very similar) it was available in the
early 1940's. When mom ran out of home-made baked bread (very seldom) the
boys couldn't wait to walk up the road to the store up the road - gas
rationing. It was gone in a minute. They preferred it to homemade.
Also they preferred the lard-looking white margarine that you popped a
yolk-like substance into and stirred up - homemade butter wasn't to their

Any Mexican cuisine that requires citrus, to me, means lime.
I don't do spicy guac, I like it cool. Fine diced seeded Roma tomato and red
onion are a must. Cilantro chopped to bits as well. A bowl of minced jalapeño
on the side for folks who wish to heat it up is a good option.
Imho. YMMV.

While you're drooling, if this seat isn't taken, may I join you and drool

To me, also--for most Mex/Tex-Mex foods. I used to make guac with lime, but
I think it's better with lemon.

Lime it is for me -- lemon only if lime is not available. Not quite the
same punch.

It really should be lime, but lemon is an OK sub. Vinegar is not.
Also, with cilantro, it's always nice to serve it on the side. Onion
and tomato are nice on the side too.

Apart from taste, there's a good reason for lime in various
Mexican cuisines. Lemons are usually expensive in Mexico, limes
are not.

I have been buying the ones in glass jars recently -- kinda expensive. I've
used them occasionally to add to pizzas. Sometimes I will open them to use
as an extra dish on the table (pretty uninteresting), or an addition to a
green salad.
No matter how I use them, I always have a let down. I still keep the ones
in the glass jars around, but I have a thing about paying so much for a
fresh artichoke. I used to buy them all the time in the 70's; I guess it
was sort of 'in' in CA to eat the leaves by pulling through the teeth;
remember?
Fresh on a plate in Spain -- I'll never forget.

That's not a bad idea. Canned are often reasonable.

Lemon will prevent it from turning brown and icky.
It does not take much.

I check for Manky artichokes and get them to mark them down.

I am too. They aren't so pricey that it discourages me from buying them.
I think the most I've ever paid is around $1.69 each or so? But of
course paying less is ideal! If I want something, I don't have to hesitate.

good point. i suspect that somewhere in mexico, someone has
substituted vinegar for lime. this, of course, would make them white
trash.

the Florida avocado while appealing because of it's size on first inspection

No I mean make a lemon pie except use lime juice. I find key lime pie too
sweet.
Or make lime curd instead of lemon curd by following a lemon curd recipe
except replace the lemon with lime. And fill tartlet shells with the
results then top with whipped cream.

It works surprisingly well. :-)
I've had them go 24 hours with a lemon treatment without turning color.
'course I also store them in plastic to keep them from drying out, and
that helps too.

We grow Hass right here in SoCal, yet they are never less than 1.50 each and
usually 2 bucks each. Go figure. They are rather large Hass though, about
he size of a grapefruit. Fuertes aren't much cheaper, but they don't have
much taste.
A college I worked at had a very productive Hass tree on campus behind an
admin house. It got so bad with people bickering and fighting over them and
sneaking over the fence at 3am that they cut the tree down. It was a real
shame but that tree brought out the greedy bastards in people.
