12 more pounds of strawberries were picked this weekend. Last weekend we got them for $1.00 a pound, which I thought was a good price. This weekend they were $0.50 a pound! Six dollars for twelve pounds of strawberries!! You gotta love a bargain.
There's now three more large freezer bags of frozen whole strawberries, another large jar of strawberry sauce, and the rest were put in the dehydrator to make dry strawberries like you get in cereal.
They didn't dry quite the same. I would think the cereal type are definitely dried another way, but they'll do for us.
It's amazing how things shrink when dehydrated. This is all we got from five full trays.
Maybe this weekend I should go pick more. I wonder what the price will be?
When I get interested in an idea I inundate myself with knowledge from books and the Internet. I’m fascinated with becoming more frugal. My problem is too many interests. I'm a budding gardener, Tower Garden novice, canner, quilter, needlepoint painter, and homemade cleaning product enthusiast...and have a full-time job. I hope this blog will enable others who are looking to become interested in similar things learn from my mistakes...which undoubtedly will happen. I can almost guarantee that.
