Ran into an older lady at Aldi who changed how I meal plan

Last Tuesday at the Aldi on Elm Street, this woman maybe 70 years old saw me staring at a pile of bell peppers. She asked if I had ten minutes to learn her trick... she showed me how to chop and freeze all of them with a dollar store bag for later meals. Saved me from throwing out soft produce ever since. Anyone else have a random stranger help them stretch their grocery budget?

Turned into a mushy mess" wait, you're saying they actually came out usable?? That's wild.

Wait, she showed you how to freeze bell peppers in a dollar store bag and they actually came out usable? I gotta say, I'm pretty skeptical because I've tried freezing raw peppers before and they turned into a mushy mess in my experience. But maybe that trick works better than I'd expect, your mileage may vary for sure.
