In my area of the country, it's strawberry season! This means buying strawberries on sale in bulk, hulling them and freezing them! I just paid $1.29 a pound, soaked them in a vinegar/water mix (takes out some of the pesticides), hulled them and froze them (after they are hulled I just put them right in baggies and freeze!). I just did 5 pounds and will do more later when they go on sale again. Strawberries frozen were about $9.00 for four pounds last I checked so this saves some more pennies to add up to dollars to save or purchase items on sale!
Happy Savings!
We are still a week or two out on the strawberries. I can't wait!!! xo Diana

DeleteOkay, that was supposed to be a smiley face but looks like a frowny!! Anyway, have fun with your strawberries! :)
DeleteI just stopped a week or so ago and picked 6 pounds of strawberries in 20 minutes, because we didn't have much time. Oh what fun it was! I then made 2 batches of strawberry jam with them. Next time I go, I want to put the berries up for my smoothies. Great suggestions for this time of year!!!
