What do you have to purchase to be able to buy 15 avocados for $1?
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.
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!
And then the local grocery store wages, including corporate and management, building leases, equipment and IT, lighting...
I have an avocado tree. There have been a number of times I had to give away dozens of avocados.
What's your winter weather like? I am once again sprouting some seeds.
Don’t do it with avocados. They don’t produce trees like the tree that created them. So after X years, it could start producing, and they taste like crap. That’s why Haas avocados are all from graftings of the original tree, so they know the avocados will be good.
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
