Few things irritate me more than wasting money. Which is why I hate, hate HATE when I open up my strawberry container 2 days after purchase to find half of them MOLDY.

EW. and YUCK! and GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

I know that washing and drying them before putting them in the fridge is probably the ultimate way to help them stay fresh longer but here’s a QUICK TIP when you don’t have much time (or for always)

Store the container upside down!

I give them a gentle shake first to redistribute them a little, then turn the container upside down with the large vent holes up. This allows them to breath a little more.
