This week has some new produce sales spreading. Cherries are in many stores, but Sprouts has them cheapest. Peaches, are all over as well, those are cheapest at HEB. Grapes are under $2/lb at all the chains, but Randalls wins at $1.49.
Avocados are 25c at Fiesta, so maybe I’ll finally get around to the Avocado Math problem I’ve been wanting to solve. Randalls has large avocados for 99c, and while I do usually avoid their produce, for the sake of science I can give them a pass.
In the meat sections, pork butt and split chicken breasts are $1.27/lb at HEB,

Mamey makes a great milkshake! I ripen it on the counter, halve it and scoop out and freeze globs of flesh (it’s avocado-like in texture). Then blend some frozen pieces with milk for a sweet and creamy treat, no added sugar needed.

That sounds really great. It might even make a good freezy pop–I’ll let you know how that goes. Thanks!

I call mamey “avocado’s evil brother.” While avos are full of good fats, mamey is all bad fat and high sugar content. It’s delicious but you might pay for it later

It should be noted that the 25¢ Fiesta avocados are pretty small. Still a good deal, as 5 of them add up to more avocado than the $1.29 regular ones, but don’t run over there thinking you are scoring dirt cheap normal avocados.

Good point. I always know that the ones on sale like this are the smaller ones, the others always have ‘large’ or extra large’ in the description. I forget that not everyone spends as much time as me thinking about groceries! Thanks for clarifying.
