Any tip on where to get cheap fruit? Can it be bought frozen? I'm just bummed because with the price of fruit it's just as expensive to buy the jars...

Depending on where you live buying local at farmstands and markets can be cheaper. Buying seasonal fruit and then freezing is what I usually do. I'll buy organic strawberries in season, freeze and then I use a Foodsaver system to keep them fresher longer in the freezer (you freeze first so they don't squish ). Buying out of season is always more expensive, but now it seems everything is higher priced. Check out local growers if you're near any
