- Smashed avocado-loving shoppers are outraged at the gourmet item’s price hike
- A peeved customer said charging so much per avocado was ‘daylight robbery’
- The retailer was selling the fruit online for an even steeper $6.99 each online
Australians have long been forced to fork out the big bucks for a slice of creamy avocado heaven – but retailers could seriously be pushing it with their latest price hike.
A Sydney store is advertising the large fruit for a pricey $5.99 each – causing outrage among its smashed avocado-loving customers.
One frustrated shopper took to Facebook to vent their frustration, and their outrage was echoed by several others who too were sick of overpaying.

An equally as peeved customer said the store, believed to be Harris Farm Markets, charging such an large amount for the gourmet item was ‘daylight robbery’.
‘Daylight robbery. I got stung for two,’ the annoyed social media user wrote.
Shockingly enough, the advertised amount – which was reportedly from a store in Bondi, east of Sydney – wasn’t the highest from the retailer.
Its online store has its large shepard avocados on sale for an even steeper $6.99, with the Reed variety slightly cheaper at $5.69.

The normally significantly discounted smaller avocados were also still an expensive pick at $4.49 each.
Supermarket giant Coles had its Hass Avocados on sale for a slightly less pricey deal online on Monday, at $3.90 each.
While Woolworths’ online store only had packs of three available, at $6.50 each.
