I’m always shocked by the price of your avocados. I could get a medium one for 85p here in Tesco in the U.K. which according to my currency converter is $1.43. I’d be bankrupt if I had to pay your prices!

I’d be bankrupt if I had to pay your prices!Avo's have gone up in price again, they are now $3.50 each, or a pack of three for a bit under $7.00.
A mix of Australian and NZ ones, should be ready to go by Sunday.

“Freightmate”!It's called "freightmate", which we have to put up with.
The tomatoes next to the the avo's are most probably grown here in Bundaberg, then trucked to Brisbane markets. Then Woolies buys them and trucks them back to Bundy, we whinge about the price and get told it's the freight... mate, that makes them expensive.
Must admit that it doesn't happen all the time, north Queensland bananas were $1.00 a kilo here last year.
We do get a lot of stuff from the Sunday markets when the farmers have them, pick up a lot of cheaper stuff then.
Higher wage demands, higher prices, higher profits, so it's a vicious circle in the retail food industry here.Crikey, had heard cost of living in Aus was high, compared to UK prices - I reckon good old Blighty is in for a shock over the next few years!!

Off topic. One of the big four banks NAB, is sacking 6000 workers after a $6 billion profit.

I keep mine out of the fridge till they can just be pushed in a bit when you give them a squeeze. Then put them in the fridge.. I got 4 for 99p and not sure what to do with them. Do you keep them in the fridge or in the fruit bowl? And what's the best way to eat them?
TBH @ 4 for 99p they probably aren't too good. A decent avocado in Waitrose or M&S costs around £1. It's a bit hit and miss if you buy cheaper ones. They might be unripe or over ripe and mushy.So after reading about your passion for Avocado I decided to buy some to see what all the fuss is about. I got 4 for 99p and not sure what to do with them. Do you keep them in the fridge or in the fruit bowl? .
And what's the best way to eat them?
That’s cheap for Macs right? Though I’ve never even seen a shellNo avo's at the market today, but got some salad stuff reasonably priced.
Mango's are starting to appear at a good price, be cheaper at xmas tho'.
Our butcher had his mobile butcher shop there, so grabbed some meat cheapish.
Edit: forgot to mention 2 Kilo buckets of Macadamia nuts in the shell for $20.00, grabbed one of them.
Haha. I pic messaged my avo daughter. She loved itTBH @ 4 for 99p they probably aren't too good. A decent avocado in Waitrose or M&S costs around £1. It's a bit hit and miss if you buy cheaper ones. They might be unripe or over ripe and mushy.
They should be firm with just a little give when you squeeze them gently. If they are already ripe keep them in the fridge so they don't get over ripe. If they are hard and under ripe keep them out at room temperature until they have that bit of 'give' when you squeeze them.
It can take a bit of getting used to before you can judge when they are just right. That's why I like Waitrose ''Perfectly Ripe Avocados' which are usually just right. They cost £2 for a pack of two, but you rarely have to throw one away.
