The bottom line

The Medium Hass Avocado (B000NOGKN4) is our top pick for most people, balancing price, quality, and convenience. It has a 4.4/5 rating from 46,911 owners and costs $3.79 each. The Large Hass Avocado (B000P72UZG) is a close runner-up with a 4.6/5 rating from 34,656 owners but is more expensive at $6.60 each. For budget shoppers, the Small Avocados (B07FXSZ49R) have a 4.4/5 rating from 15,357 owners at $3.48 for six, though they may spoil quicker. The Large Organic Hass Avocado (B0014GLSE6) and the two 365 by Whole Foods Market options (B07Y45NJCW and B000P6X4WA) are good alternatives but don't offer significant advantages over the top picks.
