This is the best time to buy them. Some years I have gotten busy and cooked and frozen quite a supply. It would be good if I could store them uncooked. I may still give a day to squash/pumpkin cooking. A couple of weeks ago carrots were ten pounds for $2.00. Of course they were big mature carrots, but those make the best soup.Well, we have regular stores for veggies. I know the best ones come from the farmers market but I don't know where one is and don't really have a good car to drive too far. So, I get baby carrots for 1.49 for a pound. That is a bargain here. Sometimes I can get them for .50 a pound at a better place. I like squash, too, but find it so hard to cut, it's so hard.
I froze some of the carrots chopped, but raw. I understand I can make soup/ roasted veggies from them. Can I do the same for squash? I would peel and chop it, but it would be nice to have a supply during the winter. It would be worth trying because the price is right.
You don't have a good veggie source? I guess it depends on where you are. If they have to truck them very far the price goes way up.
I love squash so much so I better sharpen my knife to cut some up. lol.
