Avocados cheapest place to buy UK?

Peel, take the stone out and half them

(Vincent Hall) #22

I think opposite of peel, I cut in half, remove stone, remove flesh from skin. Peeling would get pretty messy unless the avocado was unripe?

Never had a problem as long as they don’t touch during the freezing process, then they stick together and it’s a nightmare :joy:

For sure, I learned this, hence individually wrap in clingfilm. Also helps keep the frost off.

They probably have everything on sale at the Salisbury Sainsbury’s, the only UK source for Novichok (sounds like Eastern European candy :flushed:)

May pop in once the kerfuffle has died down a bit.

Lidls usally has a good price on them. I usally get them there or Sainsburys. 6-8 avocados a week £££ :open_mouth:

Worth it though… Love 'cados

ASDA avo’s rock at the moment. Amazing quality for the past 3 weeks. I’ve not sliced one open that has had any bruising or isn’t what I would call grade A and I lived in South Africa for 16 years where you get some of the worlds best avos so consider myself a bit of a avo snob. :wink:

6 months ago I’d never buy from ASDA and would rather pay extra at M&S as every second avo I got from ASDA would end up in the bin but they appear to have fixed this recently.

Thanks for your input.
I’ve bought some green avo’s last weekend thinking I need to wait until they go brown on the outer skin before they are ripe.
Soon became apparent that you can get ripe green skinned avocados as I noticed them getting soft whilst still green.
Might have been common knowledge to avocado experts, but news to me.

I think it was on this forum that I read that we shouldn’t buy shiny green, hard avocados as they will go off but never rioen

The shiny green ones do go ripe, but I found the window of opportunity can be harder to catch. They seemed fine though, yhr pnrs I tried anyway. I suspect it’s more to do with how they are stored for travel and prior to arriving on the shop shelves.
