If you're worried about using all the berries on time, just remove them from their packages, give them a rinse, and place them in a single layer on a tea towel. Dab the tops of them dry, and allow to completely dry, then put in freezer-proof containers or baggies. I usually use containers, but they were all being used.
I kept one pint of blueberries and one of the pounds of strawberries in the fridge, so that I could add them to things like salads, cereal, etc. The ones in the freezer are perfect for using in things like smoothies.
$10 worth of berries sure will go a long way!!
