I know Kroger is a stinker about them, I was speaking mainly about Aldi's for avocados.
Another thing I've stopped buying from Kroger is cantaloupe...they're always hard inside & inedible.
Even the sliced pieces & halves are lousy.
Just like i no longer buy fresh pears from Aldi - crappy!
Thank you all for your responses!
I may try a few slices of avocado in my freezer to see.
