In my area in summer prices range from 3 for $1 to 5 for $1 about every other week. These are medium avocados and the taste is incredible. Giant bowls of guac for a few bucks is unbeatable....

Two for a buck here, right now.

Tomatoes on the vine have been under a buck a pound. Our plants have a long way to go.

Mexican place nearby makes guac to order with fresh onion, tomatoe, lime etc. with a mortar and pestle. So good… quarter corn tortillas and deep fry for their chips and salsa.

I'm not one for guac, or raw tomato either.

They certainly aren't evil things like light beer or light sour cream. Sometimes tomatoes look so nice I wish I did enjoy them.

I worked on the Long Beach dock for a fruit expiditer in 1990. There was a freeze that year that wiped out the CA avocado crop. They were bringing $2 each that year. Calavo was shipping them in from somewhere and they let us have some of the damaged crates. We put up enough guacamole in one gallon freezer bags to last the year.

Avocados, yes
Guac, yes
Raw tomatoes, might as well tie me up and try to force feed me because I still wouldnt eat them.

Cooked, stewed, sauced, and fried green tomatoes I love them. But raw, no effin way.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

About $2 each here for singles, or string bag of 5 for $6-7 !

Doesn't stop us from smashing them though.

Probably an average week, in season, we'll go through 2 bags !

Love them, any old how !
