YUM and free. I have found a hot spot where peaches are being sold, but they get so soft so they can't all be sold and go into the trash--ME now. So as long as these are available to my salvage mentality I am the recipient of whatever I can use. They are really super mushy, but not bad for my uses. I wont' be doing pies however. I'm thinking probably peaches with some lemon as fruit roll ups. Dehydrating as peaches itself, not roll ups, takes long. Excalibur gets plenty hot without needing another excuse.

I'm hoping the apples, if any go bad, they can't sell, I am going to be the proud owner as well. I think I may end up freezing some for plopping into my GS drinks.

Lucky me! It pays to know the right people and this tiime I struck gold.

Absolutely splendid! You were not kidding about being able to find bargains. As long as they taste great that is all that matters! Keep up the great work.

Taste is fabulous.

I've got peaches already "depitted" for dehydrator and some for freezer. I am thinking of blending the dehydrator bound ones up and making them into fruit roll ups as they dry quickly. I did throw out some, eat some along the depitting journey, but still have a wonderful stash.

I suppose years later I am still reaping dividends of buying from the same markets to see the blessings come forth. I know the HFS would never sell or give away such "trash." I remember recently the HFS selling bananas I believe for $.19 pound or was it $.29? It was cheap and it was ready for the trash the lady told me and couldn't believe anyone would buy it. Well, for my "ice cream" they were perfect, hit the freezer and have been enjoyed since. I'm so glad there are not many out there looking for super ripe fruits!

YEAY, it's always the super-ripe fruit that gets marked down, and nobody but me wants to buy! I LOVE REALLY RIPE BANANAS ON SALE FOR .29/LB! I smile all the way home!

Yes, the bananas really looked like they were a half foot from the trash, but my trash is better than the real trash at a great price as a bonus.

Off to blend up the bananas now, get ready for my kale smoothie as in the GS Challenge feast, not fast, for 14 days commitment.

Bananas as well? Fabulous. It appears your dedication to bargain hunting is really paying off. Good for you.

Raw,
You will never believe how bad I was today. I already ate "raw" peach roll ups as they were dehydrating. I can imagine how many calories I had today and I know someone is going to write soon, don't worry about calories as long as raw. I'm stuffed and off to do turbokick in a few minutes. Oh, bought the turbo jam dvd today...actually won it on ebay...sort of pricey, but comes with bands so who knows why I need more bands, but ready for the experience. So tonight I surely have to work it off and then do some weights following that. It's going to be a rushed workout but complete to the max.

So right now 3 trays making of peaches and 2 consumed in my stomach today raw.

I probably won't have that much although I want to say I will, but where are you? Why not come here and pick some up as I have pickles can't ship, kraut too, plus we can arrange a rawluck for your presence. Just need a heads up so I can put the word out.

Do you want a teaser only??????? Doesn't have to go priority as it's dried and should hold up well. First class should do it. I see you don't have an email contact here so .....

Email me privately. I still have to get some mailed out to grandbaby in TX, outside Arlington, but still a teaser for her too.
