3 for $5 around here usually. I got a Florida avocado tree in the side yard. They are bigger but not as good as the haas avocados. Big old tree makes a lot of them and the neighbors all help themselves to them. So do the yard crews.

Price runs a bit over a dollar each ( Maine).

I like comedian Jim Gaffigan's take on how fast an avacado goes bad.,

" An avacado turns bad so quickly, I just throw them out at the grocery store to save time. "

A friend that I’ve lost touch with is from Florida. His dads only income is growing organic avocados. Last we talked, his dad was raking in the money.

My big kick lately is to smash a ripe avocado on a piece of toast or two. Cover with a slice of fresh tomato. Sprinkle with Montreal steak seasoning. Quick, simple breakfast.

I’d eat em’ every single day if I could buy em’ for that out here. They’re usually at least a buck a piece out here.

I grew up with a friend who's parents had 12 mature trees on their property, each worth $1k toward the property value.............in the 60's.

We had fights with them, nothing like getting hit with a nice black avocado, especially the stone inside!

I had no real use for them for years, they were like those little button mushrooms. Blah, not much taste, sorta slimy. In other words.......what's the big deal. I'd eat them but, standard issue on a carne asada burrito in my area of SoCal was carne, pico salsa, and guac. I always told them to leave off the guac and they would always look at me funny. I'm still mostly that way.

In the 90's, while a starving student, I stopped on the way back to school after Christmas vacation at my uncles place, where he had a commercial avocado orchard above Lawrence Welk's golf course. As I was getting ready to leave he said " come out to the garage, I've got something for you" and he hands me a lug of avocados. I learned to like them............especially when they're ...................free!

Friends I knew used to steal grocery sacks of them when we were kids, and sell them on the streetcorner for $10 so they could get smokes and stuff.

I guess when one lives around them, they're not as big a deal.
