Cheap Bananas

Have I mentioned how much I love my local Fareway? I ran into the store today to get some fruit and I found 2 bags of bananas filled to the top with old bananas. The bags were marked $.99 each. These bananas make the best banana bread. I will have the boys peel these and then I will bag them up 6 per bag and toss into the freezer. 6 bananas will make 2 loaves of bread. I have enough here for 12 loaves of bread. I love when I find deals like this.

  3. Yummy idea. Awhile ago I put together banana bread kits. All the dry ingredients together in one bag waiting for the fresh and wet ingredients. I think I need to check out my local store to se eif there are any ripe bananas.

  4. I do this too! I am very fussy about how I eat my bananas; they basically have to be just past the green stage. If I didn't do this I would waste so many, but now I love always having some in the freezer. You are making me want to go make some banana bread. :)

  5. I do this same thing! So cheap and easy to stick in the freezer for when you are craving banana bread (which is like everyday for me)!

  6. I just got mine out of the freezer from when I did that! I think using frozen bananas for smoothies. I saw a recipe once that had bananas and chocolate chips in a blender, plus mint flavoring but I never have that on hand. Oh my word, yummy! I wish my husband liked banana bread!
