Spent $12 on a bag of avocados and got burned

I grabbed one of those mesh bags of avocados at Aldi last Tuesday because they looked perfectly ripe, but when I cut into three of them at home they were all stringy and brown inside. So I basically threw out half the bag and wasted six bucks. Has anyone else had luck picking single avocados instead of the bags, or do you just avoid them altogether?

Hold up, I actually have better luck with the bags at Aldi, but you gotta feel them from the outside. I gently squeeze each one through the mesh and skip any that feel mushy or have dents. The singles are hit or miss for me because they sit there forever sometimes. Maybe try pressing a little firmer next time, the ripe ones should give just a tiny bit without being soft.

3 bucks for a bag of avocados and we're out here doing pressure tests on every single one like we're buying a used car. It's just an avocado, man. If it's bad you're out a dollar.
