Tbh I don't know if the opinions of armchair psychology experts on reddit are something OP should be concerned about.

Thanks for this. My mom is 44, I guess it could be a mental health issue, but they were like $15 bucks so she brought them home. This was supposed to be a light hearted thing

For $15 that will make a shitload of lemon marmalade, lemon flavored liquers, lemon flavored pastries, frozen lemon juice cubes. etc.

Anyway, if she does that often with stuff like this and you guys have a garage etc I would recommend buying a large chest freezer if possible. I garden a lot and get similar tier produce gluts seasonally, and have to process them to storage. Those freezers alongside assorted types of baggies work amazing for that.
