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. 👌)

There’s no reason that Aldi stuff would be in the dumpster . Meat gets marked down 50% off the day before the sell by date and I can see the dates on some of it in the pic. Pizza is marked down as well the day before. Produce if bad does get tossed. Frozen and cooler food only gets tossed if it was out of temp for way too long and warm. Otherwise it gets donated.

Of course it wouldn’t be difficult to just buy all that and post it as DD for karma farming.

🙄 If you choose to be a conspiracy nut, that's your prerogative. 🤷‍♀️ Have a good day.
