Guacamole in my Future

Organic produce (blueberries, bananas, tomatoes, etc.) costs a few dollars more than the non-organic version at Costco.

However, a few days ago a bag of six organic avocados was going for $4.50, while the regular bag of six was $5.99. What was the catch (Costco never makes a pricing mistake)?

Simply squeezing the fruit yielded the answer. The organic avocados were soft and ripe--to be clear, not over-ripe or damaged--and Costco had to get rid of the inventory.

Although only one bag of six was on the shopping list, I bought two and congratulated myself on all the money I was saving.
