I was so excited when avocados went on sale 49¢ each at my store that I bought ten. Yep, TEN. For a single person who only eats half an avocado a day, you may wonder if I love to eat rotten ones, but nope…this one is ACTUALLY 6 or 8 days old. Can you guess the trick I use to get them to last so long?

Fridge. I put ones that are ripe in the fridge to slow them down.
I list off the names of their children in a casual but threatening manner.
They are like two for five bucks up here. Basically if I want any, I will just start growing them in the greenhouse. Heck, I could probably sell them and make a lot of money.
Rikki Kuykendall was right
Once they are not rock hard anymore, they stay perfectly ripe, unopened, for almost two weeks if you can manage it.
Corvid Bliss it’s just a seasonal sale. The cheapest they usually ever get here, is $1 each. Most of the time, they’re $2 or more, each
Erica DeMers I have not tried that except with halved ones, they stay OK for a day that way when I only want to use half (I make sure the half with the pit is the one I save in the fridge and yep, I just suck all the air out of the corner of a plastic zip bag before closing all the way). Sometimes, the opened layer does brown a little, but it’s still edible. If I’m making something pretty, a gentle scrape with a sharp knife across the top without the pit removes the brown (very little waste)
3 out of 5 Kuykendall family members have an avocado addiction. When i see a sale, i look like one of those crazy math problems. “If Johnny has 17 watermelons and Suzy has 24…”
Rikki Kuykendall lmaooo
Erica DeMers yep you should be good! Or a squeeze of lime or lemon, helps the browning from being to bad
I was gonna guess https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/8UHE6og3yyN20fi0LQ2kv7NuFnPay93dZ2pU-AQCJFjMMeasorlqfWtfhCihzDXuTiQWk-zvE_E
Corvid Bliss yes if you CAN grow them, why not make some dough!
Freezers are a thing that exist.
Thawed from frozen avocados are yuck, tho
I usually buy them rock hard and green so I can control the stock better as I almost always have a couple I’ve still yet to eat.
I eat a whole one for breakfast, salt and key lime.
I have one daily. I get the bag from Costco and I have this whole routine of taking them out of the fridge a couple of days earlier and leave them on the counter to ripen a bit.
Ohhhh
I do it the other way around. I buy them green and once they’re ripe, I keep them in the fridge for what seems like forever.
I may try the other way, next time
Witchcraft.
$1.50 each here, total crapshoot whether they’ll ever ripen without rotting.
that’s one yummy looking avocado!
I fucking love avocado.
I always keep them in the fridge unless I know I’m using one that day. It’s usually hard to find the rock hard ones here, they’re usually ripe and ready. I guess now I know that Bobbi Jo Woods is beating me to the avocado bin….
lol
