So I went to the grocery store and spotted bags of bananas on clearance. In total, the bananas came out to $0.12/lb. that’s awesome but what do I do with them?

I know I need to do something that involves freezing them. They’re ripe but not brown/mushy/gross. I’d say I have 1 more day before they started getting really ripe.

I looked up freezing them on the Reynold’s website, but that article seemed more focused on SEO and promoting their parchment paper and zipper bags.

Do any of you recommend a “best” way to freeze them? Ideally, I’d like to use them on-demand in smoothies and buy some time to find a really good banana recipe like maybe a pudding or pie or something.

Lots of tins and Pyrex at the thrift store. Used but still better quality than the crap at Walmart.

Oh I love the thrift stores where I am. I always find awesome stuff. I even find a few things to flip from time to time.

I used to live in a much bigger city with many Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc yet never find anything. I’m in a small town/rural setting now with one thrift store and it’s non-stop treasures. I think finding the bakeware for break won’t be a problem.

I like checking the thrift store once in a while. Top quality old stuff from when it was made in the USA. Occasionally you find great "treasures". Our local Goodwill also has a website where they sell some of their more unique items.

I was on goodwill auctions like ~15 years ago when they first started. Awesome deals. Shipping was reasonable. Now it’s saturated with professional flippers and shipping is outrageous.
