      It’s probably all avocados that are going to go bad overnight if they don’t sell them.

      You buy 15 for a dollar and you don’t care if 10 go bad before you can eat them.

      I have an avocado tree. There have been a number of times I had to give away dozens of avocados.

      Turns out produce is pretty cheap when the government subsidizes you and you don’t have to transport it across the pacific for processing, and then ship it back across the pacific, including all the truckers, docks, rail yards, and warehouses in between until it finally makes it to your local grocery store!

      Depends on the stand, some don’t require purchase and some you have to buy like a basket of strawberries or whatever else they have in season

    See this on the roads around Fallbrook, California, but even when it’s 5 for $1 they are usually still pretty small and days away from ripening. Putting them in a paper bag with a cut up apple helps to speed that up.
