It\u2019s almost time to go strawberry, blueberry, and blackberry picking, which can only mean one thing; berry season is coming! We\u2019re dreaming of stacks of pancakes and sugary hand pies and sparkling cocktails with floating fruit \u2014 or maybe just snacking on those delectable little fruits themselves. Because who doesn\u2019t love the taste of a freshly-picked strawberry? Thankfully Dollar General<\/a> understands us, because they\u2019re now selling a container that is ideal for all your berry snacking needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Dollar General is selling two different ceramic berry holders<\/a>; one featuring strawberries, the other featuring blueberries. These containers are white and shaped like little fruit baskets that you would buy at the store or the farmer\u2019s market. They are a square shape and made of ceramic, and only sold for $3 each. These square baskets (measuring at 4.25 x 4.25-inches) are not dishwasher or microwave safe, so you\u2019ll need to wash them by hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI bought the blueberry one a few weeks ago and then bought my mom the same one, they\u2019re the cutest,\u201d writes one shopper on TikTok. \u201cAnd now I\u2019m planning to stop [at Dollar General] on my way home,\u201d writes another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Now are these berry holders actually wise for storing your fresh berries in the fridge? As it turns out, berries can spoil faster if they are exposed to moisture, which can build up if they are placed in a sealed, air-tight container. While a vinegar solution can help with keeping berries for longer<\/a>, it\u2019s also wise to store them in a container that gives the fruit some air circulation<\/a>. These baskets could be that solution. However, we also think if you have fresh fruit in the fridge sitting in an adorable container such as this, then we have a feeling that fruit won\u2019t last long; you\u2019ll be taking it out to eat in no time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
