simple explanation...drought..some avocado growers don't even have enough of a crop to pick it and trees are dying from the lack of rain and the curtailing of irrigation water 4951

@thegoodwife:  Limes are very expensive this year and hard to find.  I usually like to make my own pico de gallo, but not this year.

Unless they changed the price, Avacado's at Walmart are $0.58.   I actually price matched them last week with the Aldi flyer for $0.37 or $0.39. 4951

Aren't most avocados from Mexico?Here’s another way that California’s drought is going to affect every day life: We’re likely to be paying a lot more for all kinds of produce, from lettuce to tomatoes to avocados.According to a study released Wednesday from the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, the drought will hit avocado prices in particular because California is its only domestic source.Industry experts say between 500,000 to 1 million acres of ag land will be affected by the drought. With that in mind, ASU professor of business Timothy Richards said that 10 to 20 percent of certain crops could be lost.“We can expect to see the biggest percentage jumps in prices for avocados and lettuce – 28 percent and 34 percent, respectively,” Richards said. “People are the least price-sensitive when it comes to those items, and they’re more willing to pay what it takes to get them.” He predicted grocers will start importing more products from Chile and Mexico to try to blunt the price spike.Richards used retail-sales data from the analytics firm Nielsen Perishables Group to estimate how much the prices might vary. The potential price increases, listed below, are going to hit a lot of wallets across the country:  4951
