This is great for when you need 5 quarts of berries in 2 weeks when they’re in season but unfortunately kids eat breakfast year round. First world problems for sure, kids ate fine before refrigerated shipping, but unfortunately grow your own doesn’t really solve the problem.
Yea you gotta plan on using them like that day or soon
If they’re unpleasant but not moldy you can use them for like strawberry coulis, just chop them up and boil with sugar to make a syrup and strain out the seeds and solids
Yeah, it’s certainly not a solution, but it helps offset and is fun and rewarding in its own right. I think the target of home food production should be to offset exactly stuff like berries - fresh, expensive by weight, doesn’t store or travel cheaply like grains or beans. Plus they’re super low-effort once they’re going.
One of the reasons I started getting into growing herbs, like I love fresh basil but you can eat my shit and hair if you think I’m gonna pay several dollars for 6 leaves.

I love buying strawberries and having them get moldy 0.2 seconds after putting them in my fridge

Just freeze a bunch of them. I still have blackberries in the freezer from years ago.
Can always jar or jam them, keeps them a heck of a lot longer this way
Raspberries, blackberries and blueberries all freeze well and taste great in cereal even frozen
