You have to eat them in store before you leave, it's the only way.

1. find the only package in the store that isnt moldy

2. wash those fuckers with water and a small amount of vinegar

3. dry them COMPLETELY (good luck)

4. you may have bought yourself a couple days

In my experience working at Walmart in Fresh and a local grocery store, Driscolls is often moldy in the truck it arrived at the store in before it even gets to the shelf.

THE MILK IS ABOUT TO GO BAD.

And there it goes...

Got some from a neighbor the other day..... Left them on the counter..... fuck.

I love fruit on my cereal, but that doesn't take a ton per bowl. I've gotten to the point where I only buy blueberries because they last pretty well. I'm happy when I have people over and make a fruit salad because then there's usually some leftover other kinds of berries.

Never buy fresh berries that you aren't going to eat the same day or the day after. Frozen berries are easy to thaw well and are more than good enough for most things.

Just had some on my yogurt, this package doesn't stand a chance

I learned to make jam just so they wouldn't be a complete waste.

be a fatty like me and box be empty before arriving home

if you're going to eat them within the week a quick rinse under the water should be fine.

if you need them to last longer, fill a large mixing bowl with water and vinegar. preferably a 15% mix with vinegar. let them sit and soak for about 10-30 minutes(dependant on how vinegary your wash is). pick the bad ones out qmd either eat or toss them. stir them around gently to agitate the dirt off them.

strain, and place on paper towels to dry. cover them! if you don't cover them, bacteria and mold spores in the air will stick to them and only shorten your shelf life.

its best if you can refrigerate them immediately and is easier if you use a baking tray.

once dry, store them in a vented fruit container(helps with off gassing). the goal is to keep them dry, cold, and ventilated.

following these steps I've had them last 3-5 weeks before going bad.

Funny how my brain recognizes Canadian packaging before I consciously register the bilingual labelling.

48 hrs. Tops.

Buy frozen :)

I eat a container like this in a few minutes, this is so good :)

You cost 25¢ a box and I eat you like chips. Gimme that fucking moldy fruit

I figured this one out. Rinse in cold water not hot, hot makes bacteria come out to prosper. Cold water hefty rise then close the container and tilt it all around to get excess water out. After that. Let them air dry for a while. Don't put them back in the wet damp fridge. They now last about 2 weeks. Depending in original ripeness. Heat will ripen faster. Cold water preserves.

Not in my fridge! I just threw them out an hour ago.

Put them in an airtight container. Works for me with strawberries at least.

This hits a little too close to home.

Blackberries are fine, yet raspberries rot right away.

They rot while you bring them home somehow.

Clean and dry them and they last notably longer.

Mine are hardly even blooming!

Add to coffee ice cream, eat....profit?

This is more disturbing to me than gore vids.

Just buy them frozen, idiots
