Isn't that the way it goes. I didn't like them for a long time and now I love them. I love the texture. You just know that you are eating something decadent.

I buy avocadoes at ALDI -- they are .79 each (Haas) and within a couple days are ready to eat and lucious!!! I have NO problem eating them I grew up having them mashed on bread and butter as a sandwich...yummy!!

2 or 3 dollars per Avocado. That is outrageous! I got some at Walmart for 33 cents the other day. The price must depend on what part of the country you are in, I am in Arizona. I am so sorry for your Avocado racket up there. Its such an amazing fruit or vegetable. Maybe you could get a deal at Costco or Sam's club.

We are allowed 1/2 small avocado, but avocados are listed in the "Special Category Foods", so be sure they do not slow down or stall your weight loss. Also have some protein with that meal, or you will likely be hungry soon after dinner.

I went to the grocery store last night and refused to pay $1.99 for an avocado, even though I really wanted two to make guacamole while I have fresh garden grown tomatoes, garlic and hot peppers. Today, I look at the sale flier for this week (starts on Wednesday) and they have them for 99 cent each! Oh, happy day!
