Keith Woolford Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) To pay nearly $4 for a single avocado in a country where they're grown is nuts, imo. Just say NO to overpriced supermarket produce and patronize the local markets. Edited July 10, 2018 by Keith Woolford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcelyn Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I agree! We prefer the local produce -- always the best in flavor and price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottie Atwater Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I never buy from El Rey or Romero unless I need something I can't find elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We recently were in the US (Houston), and could not resist taking a picture of the large Haas avocados in an HEB store. Note the price. These avocados were imported from Mexico. It is reasonable to believe that HEB was making a profit on these avocados, including with higher labor costs (compared to local store labor costs). Further, experience tells me that Haas avocados are more expensive than non-Haas. I will grant that economies of scale may play a role here. I leave to the viewer their conclusion about local pricing structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
