My local supermarket was having a huge sale on strawberries/blueberries so I ended up getting 2 lbs of each (I know, its huge amounts). I don't have a foodsaver. I was wandering if there is any other way to keep them from spoiling? Can I freeze them? Any suggestions would be great!!!!

I'm sure you can freeze them. Musta been one great sale!!

Yes, you can freeze them. Frozen they will make great fruit for smoothies because you will have to use less ice!

feezing is a good idea. the ones you don't intend to freeze do not wash until you plan to eat. it will make them rot faster.

Blueberries do well frozen. Strawberries not so much. But if you want to use them for jams or smoothies it's ok. Just don't expect them to look like fresh strawberries.
