Why the fuck is this only getting more and more expensive with each passing hour?

>> No.12862665

Because they're very difficult to grow and in high demand? Seriously do you need to ask here instead of googling it?

Idk why you niggas don't just buy seasonal produce. It's not hard and it's how you get the best prices.

Avocados are the modern day banana although the consumption of the latter only rises and the immorality of the banana industry is still not very visible.
