Sunday may be a big day for football, but it’s also a huge day for avocados! That means grocery stores are offering their biggest sales and best prices on avocados this week. In the U.S., Super Bowl Sunday is the second biggest day in food consumption. It’s estimated more than 55 million pounds are eaten on Super Sunday in the United States.
More than eight million pounds of guacamole are dipped into with tortilla chips or spread on sandwiches on the big game day every year. (Did you know more avocados are sold for Super Bowl Sunday than any other time of the year?)
And anyone who makes the popular green dip knows it can be pricey. Avocados aren’t cheap! However, our team has done all the work for guac-makers on a budget by “scooping out” the best prices in town.
Plus, the size of the avocados on sale varies by store, so don’t forget to factor that in when gathering all of the ingredients.
You might need fewer avocados, if they’re large or jumbo. (Size is noted, when possible.)
And, as always, shop early for the best selection of ripe and ready-to-use little green fruits. (And, yes, technically avocados are categorized as a fruit!)
Bagged vs. individual? Many stores sell bagged avocados (usually 4- to 6-ct.), which usually offer a slight discount per avocado versus buying them individually. However, in some cases, you’re getting better savings by purchasing avocados individually at the sale price rather than by the bag. Always do the math first!
The prices are valid through Super Bowl Sunday, February 8, 2026.
NOTE: Sale prices may require your shopper’s loyalty account at checkout.
