Here it is in all it's glory. The $2 strawberry. Looks good, right? Juicy? Sweet?
Worth it? NO! Not worth it at all. This is the thing. I bought these strawberries 1 1/2 days ago. What a deal, huh? $1.99 for the whole package. Couldn't wait to eat them on my cereal, as a snack, on my salad. So I worked yesterday. No big deal. This morning I got up, swam and then poured myself a bowl of Special K with the plan to slice up some strawberries on top. This turned out to be the only strawberry that was not wearing a mink coat.
FAIL!
Now I should know better. I teach people that Americans throw out 25% of their food each week! I hate to waste food! Ask my kids about that one. I talk about rubber celery and furry berries. Furry berries! Like I said, I know better.
So I got out my THRIVE freeze dried strawberries that I share at my tasting parties. The can has been open for a couple month. This is what I saw:
A handfull on my cereal. Easy! They are prewashed, pre chopped and ready to go. No furry stuff.
MORAL OF THE STORY~ Either eat those fresh strawberries ASAP, or run the risk of strawberries with mink coats, costing $2 each.
Or just get yourself a bunch of
these to store in your cupboard.
