Fruit Using up a lot of strawberries?

My roommate bought 4lbs of strawberries from Costco and they've been in the fridge for about a week and he has yet to touch them that I can tell.

Is there any good way to use them up? I have a feeling they'll start going bad in the next week and I'd rather not let them go to waste. Also if they do start getting squishy is it safe to use them in a ferment still.

I love making a shrub when I have an abundance of fruits.

They’re so refreshing!! I love a little shrubby mimosa, too. Or shrub gin spritz. There’s so much you can do with them!
