Should I buy pre-made guacamole?

... from the supermarket, in the vegetable section? Looks ok, but have had some friends warn me that you have to make your own guacamole and also eat it within 24 hours.

Making your own is tastier, but the pre-made stuff is fine.

Your friends are right.

Yeah you have to eat your own guac right away, but homemade is 100x better than the store bought.

the premade crap is made with milk and other weird ingredients. it has the consistency of doo doo butter.

make your own. smash some avocados, put in some lemon, add a little hot salsa if you want.

Ok, thanks for the info.

Then... how likely is it that I can find ripe guacamole right away?

How easy is it to make without a food processor?

Is it retarded to attempt to use a blender to help out with the mashing?

No way! Homemade is the way to go! Plus, you can keep homemade guac over 24 hours, just seal it well.

It takes like two minutes. You just sort of squish up the avocado. you don't need a food processor. it would take longer to clean one than to squish up the av.

Forget teh blender. Let the avacoda sit in lime juice then mash it with a fork with other ingredients: minced garlic, diced onion, diced tomato, and salt to taste. Seal it well and it will last a couple of days. It might turn a little brown, but stir it up and that will go away -- it will still be fine to eat. Trust me on this -- i have done this a LOT.
