I'm doing my happy dance!

I absolutely adore avocados. I put them on toast with an egg or bacon, I put them in a salad, I eat them just plain with a little salt and pepper.
But I haven't been buying them every week because they're just expensive. Almost a dollar for one avocado!
So you can imagine how excited I was to see them in Walmart today for $.38 each! I bought eight, would have bought more, but I wasn't sure how long they would last without getting too ripe.
I'm already looking forward to breakfast. (Glad my husband doesn't like them 
) I won't have to share with him....isn't that awful.
It really doesn't take much to make me happy. 
In the food world, what makes you do your happy dance?

I really wondered if I should have bought more, but I'd hate for them to go bad.

@1creekgirl Yeah and they do go bad pretty fast.

@CarolDM I bought a few soft ones to eat in the next day or so, and a few hard green ones that will keep a while, then I can ripen them one at a time in a paper bag with an apple.

I used to like avocadoes and buy them and make a dip but it got to hard to make them as a dip so stopped and I do not eat potatoe chips and dip anymore.

I still love donuts but try to eat them with my meal and try not to eat a lot of them now. I love bananas.

@1creekgirl Not at all. This tree will not yield, sadly.

Does it usually take that long for a tree to produce fruit?

@1creekgirl Yes, we grow them up here. My husband and I used to have some raspberry bushes and grew our own for a lot of years.

I've never been fond of raspberries, but glad they make you happy! Are they grown locally?

Wow, they're even higher in Canada? I have no idea why they're on such a great sale right now.

@1creekgirl They don't grow anywhere in Canada, I am pretty sure. So never a low price.

No, I've never gotten the hang of making it. I love it in a Mexican restaurant, though. Do you have a good recipe for making it?

You can half them, peel them, put in zipper back, remove the air and freeze them. You use one part at a time as you desire. Go get some more!!

Now that I know I can freeze them, I'll see if they're still on sale at Walmart. Thanks!!!

Oh yes, I love avocados also. ( I also love your little happy dance girl. She's cute! )
Anyway, I know what you mean about being pricey. We got a four pack at Aldi's a few days ago. I don't remember how much they were but they were reasonable enough to end up in our shopping cart and eventually in my bowl in the kitchen.
Bon appetit'

@1creekgirl That is great. Avocados are so versatile like that.

That is super cheap for avocados! I guess do a happy dance when figs come around. Here we can get most fruits at anytime of the year - but not figs. I get a window to buy them from September to late October - and that's it. So I finished my happy dance not too long ago.

@1creekgirl I love eating them fresh - especially if they are perfectly ripe! I never appreciated them until a few years ago - I don't know how I missed out for so long! I've had baked fig things - but I do love fresh the best.

Do you bake with figs or just enjoy eating them? I've seldom had figs.

Thanks! I read the info, but I have a question. Do you freeze the avocados with the skin still on or do you peel it first? I think I just read the answer from @GardenGerty!

I can't say any food really makes me do a happy dance, but I can never resist buying rice, macaroni, butter and canned tomatoes when I go grocery shopping. Whether I need them or not.

That's funny! I tend to not stock up because I go to Walmart often. Very often. But when I see a sale like these avocados, I can't resist.

That was a super deal on avocados! I agree in most places they are ridiculously expensive and too bad, because they are good for you..and I like them too.

Your store is even more expensive than here. I ripen them in a paper bag with an apple for a couple of days.

My husband and youngest daughter don't care for avocados, but the rest of us LOVE them. I buy them even when they aren't on sale since it's one of the few healthy foods that my son enjoys and it's one of the few high-fat foods that my older daughter enjoys. If there is a half of avocado left over I'll eat it with a spoon even without any seasoning.

It's easy, just spread the avocado on your toast, then add a fried egg and crispy fried bacon.
