I couldn't find a good link online explaining this, but I've had a lot of luck keeping avocados in the refrigerator.
The trick is to let them ripen on their own until they're about good enough to use. If you put them in the fridge, they can keep about 1-2 weeks there at the same ripeness before they start to get softer or ripen further. That's contra leaving them on the counter, where they'd be ripe enough to eat for a few days.
You can use this trick in reverse when you have a lot of avos also.
Put them all in the fridge except for the ones you want ripened and stagger them out of fridge so they don't all ripen at once. Once they're ripened, you can move them back in to prevent over-ripening but staggering them out means you should be eating them consistently as you go.
Ooh, I never thought of this. Thanks for the idea.
No worries. This is the point of discussion. Thank lemmy instead!
Yeah they really last a long time in the fridge. I second this. Man I wish I had a too much avocado problem. 😛
