Best store bought/grocery store guacamole?

[Anonymous]

I know making your own isn't hard, but sometimes you're just that lazy.

What do you think is the best store bought or grocery store guacamole in the area?

I have access to a Trader Joe's, Wegmans, Whole Foods, Aldi, Giant, Target...

Not on your list but (1) Balduccis (2) whole foods.

Whole Foods is the only one I would spend money on.

Whole Foods is the only one I would spend money on, but making your own guac is stupid simple so buying premade it truly an emergency only situation. I will, however, pay crazy amounts for WF Pico bc chopping all of the tomatoes, onions, etc etc is time consuming as heck.

Agreed! My local Whole Foods no lounger makes in-house pico and I am so sad. They still make in-house guacamole though (maybe because it’s easier…haha).

The hardest part for me is finding the perfectly ripe avocados. I'm in awe of the people who have avocado toast every day and I think they must live in CA. Here, I'm victim to what the store carries, and the degree of ripeness. Every system I try calibrated to the phases of the moon and with precise apple alarms set, with backups of backups always ends up with me throwing away overripe ones or cutting into ones that never ripen.

That said, I buy the wegman's only avocado or similar in the produce section and then fancy it up with fresh cilantro, tomatoes, lime juice, etc. No onions for me.

Trader Joe's sells bags of ripe avocados. That or Whole Foods.

I really like Whole Foods guac. It is the only store bought one I like.
