Have you seen the price of a decent piece of avocado toast though?
1990: "We don't do that, do that yourself at home. GTFO"
2024: Starts at $11.95 just for avocado, addons are extra
I can get 4 avocados for $5, a loaf of good sourdough for $5, and a dozen aggs for $8. $18/week ($3/day) and I can eat a healthy breakfast of avocado toast with 2 eggs every day.
That $72/month is what's breaking the bank, not my $2500/month rent.
Avocados are $3 each here and man is it a gamble.
Yeah they can be finicky. I live in the mountains in CA and they're definitely fresh, but you can tell they've travelled and the altitude here turns them shitty real quick so it's a delicate balance of getting just the right ones that'll be ripe at the right time in sequence to eat before they go to hell the next day.
Avocado toast on this is $11.99. You're saying I can have a slice or day for only $360 a month? Not a bad deal!
