I’ve often frozen my berries after having them for breakfast 3 or 4 days I wrap in paper towels really well to pay dry then store in freezer bags. Perfect for smoothies, margaritas and baking!

With times getting harder by the minute, it is good to know what can be stored and for how long so that we can buy now and save for later when the prices will be sky high.

I believe honey has been found in archaeological sites going on for 2000 years old and still edible.
