My Amazon app right now shows large avocados are 2 for $3 at WF for Prime members.

Your kids don't have any idea what a struggle meal is as those struggling aren't buying avocados.


+1 how tone deaf


Tone deaf? A large avocado costs literally $1. A really nice loaf of bakery bread costs max $8, so let's say max 40 cents for a big slice. And everyone already has cracked pepper or whatever other kind of seasoning you'd prefer.


Where are these $1 avocados?? Not at Whole Foods or giant.

Seed oil toast with a dollop of Sysco-sourced guac, thrown together by an illegal immigrant in the back and charged $15.95 plus gratuity. Yummy!

Again, they cost under a dollar. I'm in the "can't imagine buying avocado toast at a restaurant, but enjoy eating at home with garlic salt" range of middle class. It's like how I wouldn't buy oatmeal out. It is a cheap food to eat at home.


So what you're saying is you don't eat out for breakfast. Because she breakfast food can't be made simply at home?


Now that I have to buy 4 people's worth of food and don't get to enjoy bottomless mimosas, yeah, it's absolutely not worth it to me to spend $80 on a breakfast I could make for under $10 at home. And when you order in a group, the eggs ALWAYS come out cold.

But I can't make a great croissant cheaply at home on a weekend morning, so I love going out to bakeries.

Anyway avocadoes are expensive at the grocery store too so avocado toast isn't any more overpriced compared to its ingredients that other brunch food.

"You could make it at home" is true of all that stuff - pancakes, omelets etc.


The "make at home" argument is weird because if you're out of town making at home is not an option. I have ordered cereal for breakfast because I'm not actually near my home and that's all I want.

Most places do season it and it’s better for you and more filling than butter.


It's more "filling" [such a LC turn of phrase] because it has many more calories than butter. Nobody puts as much butter on toast as there is avocado on it.

I get it all the time. It’s way better than what I make at home - usually has fancier bread and some sort of microgreens or special seasoning. One of my favorite meals!

+1. I don't eat eggs, and I don't really like breakfast meat or sweets like pastries/donuts, so I have very occasionally ordered avocado toast at brunch. It's fine.

Grocery store avocados aren’t very expensive, but they almost always taste terrible lately. Or they’re stringy.

I do. I don't eat eggs and I want something savory in the morning, so no pancakes or French toast.

Most young adults eat out and order carry out 15 to 20 times per week. They’re numb to it. It’s not an occasion. They’ve become so coddled and lazy they want a migrant peasant to make and deliver them a snack they could make themselves in 30 seconds. Toast a slice of bread, mash a vegetable with a fork and sprinkle everything seasoning on top. Imagine outsourcing that. My theory is this makes strivers feel decadent and higher rung. Because it makes zero sense to flush money down the drain on such nonsense.


I frequently order avocado toast when I go out to eat because I am a vegan and it’s often one of (if not the only) vegan options on the menu. I don’t think I’ve ever gone out to eat for the purpose of getting avocado toast.

I imagine this is a difficult concept for you to grasp, but do try your best.
