Ep. 94 | How to Best Buy & Store Avocados – Use These 3 Grocery Pro-Tips!
Mar 04, 2025
Have a love-hate relationship with avocados? If so, I don’t blame you – I do too. Some days, I’m delighted to cut open an avocado and see a smooth blemish-free interior to enjoy. On other days, I’m utterly disappointed and disgusted when I find the inside already browned and ugly, and end up having to toss it away. Such a waste of money!
But with rising food and gas prices, it’s now even more important to know how to stretch our food dollars and make what we buy last longer. And I’ve discovered ways now to minimize those ‘not-so-good’ avocado days.
So, let’s talk avocados. In this episode, I’ll show you how to wisely pick avocados from the store, then how to best store them at home. This way, you can enjoy them more, with less stress and worry about having to use them up fast before they spoil. If you’ve never tried an avocado before, make sure to listen in too, so you can learn from the get-go how to best buy and store them, and save money and needless frustration in your plant-based diet transition!
