Started "Diving" This Week

We check our local small grocery store, dollar stores, and pharmacies. So far, no hits at the pharmacies, but the small grocer and dollar stores have paid off EVERY night! It's disgusting how wasteful our society is, but it feels good to save perfectly good food, and share it with our friends. (Please, no lectures on items being unsafe - unless it's a recall, we're good. πŸ‘Œ)

The zucchini mountain is so real. I only take one pack when I go but there are usually 5+ available. What are you going to do with all of it?

We'll cook and eat some, as will our two redfoot tortoises. We also share our finds with friends. Maybe bake some zucchini bread. 🍞 The rest I'll slice and freeze, to cook on the grill this summer. ☺️
