At first I saw about a pack of five for four dollars which wasn\u2019t too bad.  They weren\u2019t too big either but the person needs something to eat.  As I examined them though they weren\u2019t ripe yet it seems as they were all very hard.  That wouldn\u2019t be good as the person wouldn\u2019t be able to eat them yet.  So as I went through the store looking for ones that were ready to eat I came across ones that were a lot cheaper and labelled as imperfect.<\/p>\n<p>These are those produce where visually they my have some kind of imperfection that causes people not to buy them as the assumption is the product is worst than the nice-looking ones.  But many times the inside is the same as all the other ones.  In this case too, it was about seven dollars for a bag of about nine large avocados.  Best of all, they were ripe and ready to be eaten.  While many people would still shy away from it, the funny thing I thought was how right next to it were individual avocados that you could buy and they looked exactly like the ones I these bags.  I am guessing the store took them out and sold some individually in case people only want on or two.   But in those vases people didn\u2019t mind at all in terms of the outside appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t pre-judge these types of produce as you could be saving so much money while still getting the quality and freshness you are after.  The best examples is if you are making raw juice then an imperfect apple can be virtually the same as a perfect picture one.  That\u2019s how a lot of people make apple cider as an example where they take the not perfect looking ones and juice it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I specifically went shopping for some avocados today for a person who couldn\u2019t eat hard foods at the moment.
