On Saturday, I made my biweekly trip to Sam's Club for my haul. While there, I grabbed two bags of beautiful avocados - yeah they were pricey, but when I considered the tray of cookies was just as pricey, I went for the healthy option. So two bags, 5 large avocados each, about 17$ and change for both. They are now perfectly ripe and I am sitting here at my desk eating one, chopped, with salt, everything bagel and a squirt of lime. Delicious. So typically I will lose one or two to over ripening if I haven't eaten them fast enough.
Looked up how to keep them staying fresh for up to 4 to 5 days after ripening. One source suggested dunking them whole into a pot of water and placing in the fridge. When I get home, I will try that to see if it actually works.
Anyone have other ways of stretching the days they stay OK before "melting down."

They turn brown almost instantly. You can make a ton of guac, but then that will also turn brown

Once they are ripe I put them in the fridge, they last several days.

@bmorechick. There is a way avocados can be frozen. Check Google for direction. At the price you paid, I'd look into it. Also refrigeration slows the ripening process.

Putting avocados in water, in the fridge, works!
They do last and seem to be perfectly ripened!

Storing them in water isn't safe, it's a breeding ground for bacteria.

crisper drawer will hasten the ripening

Does anyone know if avocados are high in cholesterol ? Thanks
