How to Make Berries Last Longer!
Aldi’s has some great Deals on Produce this week, and I noticed something the last few weeks, It’s Berry Season! Strawberries, Blueberries, Blackberries and More!
All of these items are on sale for great prices making them perfect for stocking up. Remember now is a great time of the year to buy extra Fruit and Freeze it for the Winter Months, but I happen to love Fresh Fruit so I’ve got a trick to share with you to make your Fresh Berries last even longer!
All you need is White Vinegar and Water and a Large Bowl.
Combine 4 Cups Water with 1/2 Cup Vinegar in a Bowl
Place Berries in the Vinegar/Water Mixture to kill the bacteria on the Berries and then remove and lay on a towel to dry. This helps the berries last so much longer! My kids go through a container of Strawberries a day sometimes so I will often buy 4-5 containers and this helps those last few containers last and look fresh even after several days!
Tip: As long as you let the Berries Dry Completely you won’t taste the Vinegar, this evaporates into the air and there is no flavor left behind.
Do you have any Favorite Household Tips & Tricks? I would love to share them!

Thanks so much for this tip! Even when you think you’ve looked them over carefully – there always seems to be one that is fuzzy. @Anne – she mentioned in the post as long as they air dry completely they do not smell or taste like vinegar.

How long do you have to soak them?

I am SO going to try this. Next week our store has the 6-pint box of blueberries on sale, so the timing is perfect. Thank you!

Thanks for the tip. I wish that I had it a week ago, b4 I let two pints of strawberries go bad.

I suggest that you let the berries soak for at least a few minutes before you take them out. Strawberries are one of the fruits heaviest in dangerous pesticides, and Dr. Oz recommends soaking them if you don’t or can’t buy organic.
