Frozen blackberries?

[2EFNFAST]

Does anybody know where you can buy bags of frozen blackberries, or alternatively, blackberries/raspberries/blueberries together?

I know lots of stores (e.g., Superstore) have them, but they're always packaged with stawberries. Don't want strawberries, esp. since they weigh down the bag with them!

Europe's Best seems to do bags of blueberries and raspberries seperately. No blackberries though. Their four-berry mix has blackberries and strawberries. Too bad.

I remember Safeway has a bag of mixed berries. Im sure there are blackberries in there, but I don't remember if there are strawberries. Its weird I have not seen one bag of just frozen blackberries. And I've looked every where. If you find some please pass it along :)

I use to get mine at Superstore. Blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries in a huge bag for like $9. But the last few times I've gone they only had separate bags for each.
I believe Co-op has separate bags for blueberries.

Costco has them or even M & M Meatshop

[lelalong]

Costco FTW! The bag is massive and cheap. The berries are great and huge! Europe's Best are pretty bad I heard and pricey what the small amount you get.

Those are the bags I bought - when I found them a ?year? ago I bought 30 of them and jammed my freezer full!

Unfortunately it seems they've discontinued that and are using their own crappy mix (with strawberries, bleh!)

Do the costco ones have strawberries mixed in as well? Lots of stores have their own 4-berry mix, but they always have strawberries, and i jsut want a 3-berry mix (black/blue/rasp)!

Did you take that pic with the berries on your laundry basket?

M&M Meatshops actually does not have any, just strawberries and raspberries. But it looks like Costco is the winner.

I've never tried Europe's Best. They were in the parking lot of Safeway today which brought it up to mind.

Also, at Costco I bought this awesome bag of frozen pineapple, but I haven't seen it since. What gives? I was hoping at the very least it'd be a summer thing.

Looks like it's time to get a Costco membership! (that's how much I hate strawberries, hehe!)

Superstore, I think 1kg was like 11$ a few weeks ago

What's wrong with strawberries?

[Amysicle]

^^^ Strawberries are cheap filler that are usually too tart anyways.

Missed that. Good eye.

Taste like ass and they load up the bag with them as a cheap filler so they don't have to put a lot of the good shit in.

[lelalong]

The bag of strawberries from costco (same brand as the berry mix) are good too. No ass taste. Unless you like that. And somehow you know what ass tastes like............. :dunno:

Yah +1 on the costco ones. I was using them for making smoothies and energies drinks and such and they tasted great and were of high quality.

[Bboy_8701]

smoothies are for pussies

that just means you have to go back to costco and get a vitamix :thumbsup:

[szw]

What else do you use these for besides making drinks?

[schocker]

fruit salads or regular salads, i dont know what else i would use them on:dunno: or perhaps cocktails or something

[2EFNFAST]

Yaaay, went to Cosco and they had them. 2kg, $9.99 - no strawberries. Bought 3 crates worth (each crate had 9 bags).

Hehe, but I've never shopped at a place like Costco before - I didn't realize they didn't take Visa, so I was fumbling around looking for my AMEX card, couldn't find it so I figured I'd just write a cheque, and was told 'sorry, we can't take your cheque because you've taken too long - we're timed here'.

Timed as a cachier? Lol, that must suck :rofl:

Your welcome and usually be on the lookout for the coupon books, cause when I bought those berries, I had a $3 off coupon and Costco is the shit and sometimes much cheaper on certain stuff than others
