According to grocery comparison app Frugl’s latest ‘2021 Avocado Index’, both Hass and Shepard avocados are the cheapest they’ve been in over 18 months. Both varieties dropped to as low as $1 for a single fruit in the middle of this year. Right now, they’re hovering around the $1.50 price point at Coles and Woolies. According to Frugl, Aussie avocado farmers have had a bumper crop this year.
“Frugl’s Avocado Index has found that we’ve been paying upwards of $5 right down to just $1 recently for the humble avocado, and now is the time to put avocados back on the menu at home,” Frugl’s Managing Director and CEO Sean Smith said in a statement.
“With many restaurants and cafes coming in and out of lockdown over the past 18 months, our insights at Frugl demonstrate that the bumper harvest of Australian avocados being diverted to supermarkets has led to reduced prices for consumers to recreate their favourite meals at home.”
