The World’s Largest Avocado display being set up at Rouses Market BB #:153701 in New Orleans comes with some of the smallest prices you’ll ever see.

The Thibodaux, LA-based retailer is setting up the display of 112,000 avocados on Dec. 4 at its store on Tchoupitoulas street in New Orleans. The kicker? These avocados come with a coupon from Avocados from Mexico pricing them at 3 for 25 cents, according to a post on the company’s social media.

So, if you’re in the New Orleans area this week, stop by and take a photo and grab some cheap avocados.

Watch Rob Ybarra, director of produce, at the event:
