So you know when you're standing in line at Chipotle and you get to the moment of truth: guacamole or none? Tough decision. Guac adds a whole nother dollar to the entire deal.
That choice just got easy. The wildfires that consumed 300,000 in Southern California have also incinerated a third of their avocados, pushing the price to two bucks a pop:
"The avocados are going to be over a $1.50 a piece -- around $2 -- because there's going to be a very high demand on avocados,” San Jose produce stand owner Nader Mechel said.
The problem, according to Mechel, is that avocados grow on trees.
Unfortunately, money doesn't.
