When it comes to food trends, avocados won 2015.
They were the most pinned food on Pinterest, they dominated every platform of social media, and avocado tattoos even became a thing. We know this because Miley Cyrus has one.
The obsession with avocados reached its peak when Nigella Lawson famously proclaimed that avocado on toast was the “fabric of [her] life”.
Watch Nigella Lawson make her signature avocado on toast. Post continues after video.
Aside from all the buzz and celebrity endorsement, many of us genuinely love avocado. It’s the perfect replacement for butter, it’s a key ingredient in my beloved Mexican food, and it even tastes good in a smoothie. Finding a perfectly ripe avocado in the supermarket frankly makes my day, and I end up running to the self-serve counter with this attitude:
But upon making my avocado purchase (and definitely NOT putting these glorious fruits through as potatoes, because that would just be plain wrong), I notice something.
The total on my receipt appears a little higher than I expected. Maybe the Snickers weren’t 2 for 1 like it said on the shelf? Maybe I’m being taxed even more for my period than I thought?

If I buy it even from Walmart USA at retail price of just under a dollar today ( that 20 dec 2017)after paying all the shipping costs and incidental charges sch as duty , I could still make a profit and sell in Australia half the price (AUSSIE $3.50 )these suckers sell here in Australia ! Someone is ripping us off here. Sucking our money for this crazy price !
It is damn expensive in Australia . I just cannot justify it. Lived in USA 10 years we do not buy if it is just above 75 cents US. The fricken price in Australia is crazy just overly crazy- how on earth you pay $3.5 for each , it drives me really mad?? Who the heck is making all that money, some sucker out there. There is no way you can justify that price even if all of Australia in caught by a fricken drought. Some sucker is sucking blood from all of us . Best thing to bring the fucking crazy price is to boycott !
