Eating healthy is a great way to turn over a new leaf in your life, but it also comes at a cost. In actuality, nutritious food is pricier than junk food, and that's scary to acknowledge.

But we shall not get into that. We appreciate the fact that some retailers get it. They know what to sell at what price to attract shoppers to their stores. 

All it takes to get a crowd of shoppers to go wild in Cape Town is putting a good price on avocados. However, at this price, shoppers all around South Africa might go wild. 

Watch the video below that shows shoppers gathering around to get their share of avocados for R2.00 each.

Avocados are nutritious in multiple ways and have been advertised as a healthy fat. They contribute to good heart health, regulate blood pressure, improve digestion, and support eye health; they also have anti-inflammatory properties, boost brain function, are great for your skin, and help regulate blood sugar. 

South Africans are becoming increasingly conscious of their health; it's no wonder they all flocked to the R2.00 avocado sale.
