I think you're missing the point of vegetables being expensive in the US. If you think these prices are normal than allow me to disagree.

Avacados happen to be one of the more expensive vegetables.. and the price is highly seasonal. You should see them for $0.8 to $1.2 "in season" and $1.5 to $2.5 "out of season". Perhaps an additional tax if you live in a big city.

if you want to talk about vegetable affordability, lets start with lettuce, carrots, and broccoli.
