Keeping Guacamole from turning brown

Anyone have any tricks for keeping guacamole from turning brown? Costco sells Wholly Guacamole for really cheap but it comes in a HUGE tub as opposed to a bunch of little ones. Definitely wont eat a tub in one sitting and it turns brown shortly after air gets to it. Not worth vacuum packing it IMO. Ideas?

i'm curious as to this as well

Try google. There are a number of little tricks out there for storage to keep it from turning until the next time you eat it. I looked it up not too long ago for homemade guac.

It's still edible, fyi.
Saran wrap pressed directly on the top.

Why don't you just buy whole avocados as you need them?

Keep one or two of the seeds in with your guac when you store it.
There's a Latino grocery store by my place that does this, and they explained that it adds a few more days to the shelf life.
They could just be scamming everyone so they can add the seeds to the container, but I've noticed a definite difference.

Air is the biggest factor- anything to keep exposure to air at a minimum (sealing plastic wrap against the surface is one option), but the acidity of lemon/lime also seems to have a preservative effect. Combine the two- brush the top with a little lime juice and seal plastic wrap against the top.
That said, there's still air trapped within the guac, so it's still going to turn brown to some degree.

Cover it with water and then dump the water off when you need it. It'll keep 4+ days this way no problem.

Keep the pits in the storage container with the guac. Also, Saran Wrap on top.

Leave the pit in on the side you're saving and squeeze lemon or lime juice on it. Store in ziplock.
