$0.77 Strawberry's in the 16 oz Container!

This week, if you haven't seen the Ralph's ad, they are selling their 16 oz Strawberries for 77 cents a piece! I got 3 today just for the next couple of days.

Remember...you can freeze them! If you cut the stems off first and maybe halve them, you can just throw them into the blender for some smoothies! YUM!
