I know it's a scary thought but the 99 Cent Only store near me sells fresh produce too. Normally I would be a bit leary of buying produce from a store that specializes in last year's merchandise (or older) but they sell bags of limes for a buck, both the small Key limes and the bigger Mexican limes. I picked up a few bags of the large limes today and I'm going to try freezing some lime juice cubes. A bag has about 12-13 limes and yields about 1 1/2 cups of juice. Not bad for a buck, they seemed to be fresh.

Edit - So I froze the juice in ice cube trays (1/2 ounce each), wrapped them in Saran Wrap to keep them from sticking to each other, and put them in the freezer in a ziplock bag. We'll see how that works out. I was tempted to try freezing some wedges for garnishes but I saw above that Chip said they're not pretty when they thaw.

Be good to yourself and to the ones you love
