I got a great deal on baked teriyaki tofu squares. They have a short date. Wondered if I can freeze for later.

Yes. The texture once thawed will be a bit spongier, but still tasty.

Good to know!

Speaking of that.. if you're like me and you like your tofu less spongy and more "meat like" for stir fries and such, do this - put it into the freezer as soon as you bring it home. When you thaw it out, squeeze it gently in your hands like you would a sponge, until you've squeezed out all of the water you possibly can. It will cook up much better.

What a GREAT tip! Thanks! I'll have to try this.
