/ck/ - Food & Cooking

crap load of cans, peanut butter

today's bannanas, celmentines, apples, and a pear. some cereal from before, also FRESH BASIL!!!! (some wilted)

lets make some sweet potato fries...

pic of the bin today after taking what i wanted. that green bell pepper was pretty rotten. so many more bannanas. can't eat that many so left em. could have digged more but have enough. maybe the next diver will luck out...

slice em up.

been trying to experiment with techniques to get them crispy and more like deep fried fries cooking in the oven. Don't want to dedicate oil/stuff for frying. also, maybe slightly healtier. with regular potatoes soaking makes them awesome. with sweet potatoes... well it didnt work so well but its ok... anyone have suggestions for crispy sweet potato fries???

Found 3 avocados (one was rotten so 2 good ones) and they needed to go. looks like more guac. found that red onion too. usually leave the root when dicing small, but it had a lot of soft spots so i generously cut a lot away. center was still great.

Line up! its just a shower...

psych! get chopped.

last thread was cool...but....hey...why dont u make a blog?

I thought dumpster diving threads had completely left /ck/
I'm glad I'm wrong

>>7559099
Thought about it. Maybe? phone/camera is iphone 3 LOL so maybe not good enough. perhaps I should. fun to be here with the bantz though.

>>7559118
Glad to know someone is enjoying :D

Salt pepper crushed chillies lemon juice. tasty tasty. pretty heavy on the onion, but damn do i love onion...

sister in law has these left overs she'sgoing to throw out. plain rice and lean ground beef with some salt/garlic powder... with the guac and this it should be easy to whip up some mexican fried rice and beans.

>>7559064
Sweet potato fries are best baked. Drizzle those bitches in olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake at 400, flip once at 20 mins, finish for another 15-20.

>>7559170
That's some disgusting looking guac man. Why is it not more green?

sweet potatoes turned out soft and not crispy (again) anyone have some ideas to keep em crispy whilst baking? they were at 450 after a few hour soak in water. I think the water leeched out a bit too much sugar anyways so will avoid that in the future. works awesomely with regular potatoes though. So far everything was harvested apart from some lemon juice... maybe 15cents worth for the guac...

>>7559183
bad lighting perhaps. admittedly the avocadoes were a bit pale, but defintiely ripe and tasty...

>>7559177
will try again at 400, usually go 425 and what you said. first time with a soak.

Slice up some more onion, found some canned beans... out of garlic :( so powder, dried cilantro too :(, salt pepper chillies.... what else do we have lying around...?

>>7559198
What the fuck did your sister-in-law say when you hijacked her week old rice and beans?

An ugly bell pepper and a slightly wilted tomato... questioning if the tomato is still good but only one way to find out...

>>7559200
They were 3 days old. She said its too long for them... today is the third day... She said she was glad, because she was going to throw them out lol!

Smell the tomato... smells great.

olive oil in pan, getting hot... probably 20 cents of oil so far... thats probably pretty generous. wew up to 35 cents lads...

onions

Pretty neat, nice to see a good quality trashy post!

salt, then bell pepper...

>>7559226
What we making?

beans and tomatoes

>>7559223 thanks mate

>>7559230
Have guac, veg, some beans and rice... some kinda mexican thing i guess

fryin up breddy gud

mixing that rice/meat in... doesnt seem like enough moisture with the one tomato... we'll see. At some point i added cilantro, more salt, pepper, and crushed chillies...

not enough moisture, so diced another dumpster tomato and threw it in. last one was beefsteak kinda type. this one was a roma in great condition....

wanted some more color so added paprika... also some more lemon juice... wew maybe we're up to 40 cents now lads

I know this isn't really jiving with mexican but i love basil a lot... threw some cumin in too obviously...

so much basil still and its wilting... maybe I'll make something tonight outta it for later...

Fries coming out. some burned, but whatever they were free. some crispy but that soak really back fired....

throw that basil in (i know it should be cilantro!)
flip it around an bit and heat is off...

>>7554675

Soup from previous thread, guac, beans rice veg meat, and some sweet potatoes... 40cent meal if you're not counting the leftover soup which was like 1.50 or something. still like 4 liters of that after dinner for 3 today.

mmmmmmmmm tasty and cheap

best dumpster dessert finds ever. a few black pepper pistachios and then these white choclate or yogurt covered rasins... im not sure whats around them, some sort of dairy base/vanilla and a lot of sugar.

made some regular fries for my sister in law because she's not big on sweet taters. this ones after a 30min water soak/dry then bake at 425/flipped turned out nice a crispy! (also free taters)

why are you so poor OP?

curious but why do you do this, do you have a job? do you plan on eating half rotten garbage veg for the rest of your life?

Being resourceful (in this case getting free food) is a sign of poverty.

Instead of dumpster diving why not get a high paying job and shop like a civilized man?

Gotta do something with all this basil though. its wilting man!

>>7559286
Part choice part circumstance... Have been travelling and rock climbing for past 10 months or so....

are your friends and family also poor hobos?

Fresh basil :)

>>7559287
>>7559288
Have chemical degree and exp in analytical sector. Testing for pharmaceuticals/product anlysis for human consumption. job market is very competitive so have been travelling, rock climbing, and interviewing for positions.

>>7559288
i have a low paying job and i still manage to eat better than 75% of /ck/ without resorting to digging threw trash

>>7559300
chemical degree? huh?

>testing for pharmaceuticals
do you just mean you've been in clinical trails?

>>7559300
i can appreciate the OC but this is grossing me out, I hope you dont trick anyybody into eating your dumpster produce without telling them, if someone did this to me id probably rage out and fight you

To be honest its kind of fun. you never know what you will find and it will be wasted otherwise. Interesting to eat what you get and try to improvise dishes.get TONNS of dried goods like pasta, nuts, granola bars, nuts, seeds, have dehydrated shit load in the past. been able to travel and live off it for 10 months so its been kinda rad haha. 10 month vacation doesnt sound good to you all?

Found a kilo bag of unopened cashews... here is the end of that. used salt from them instead of adding salt. olive oil, pepper will add crushed garlic later.

>>7559308
Negative. HPLC for trace materials, drug amounts, purities, natural product identification from complex mixtures.

>>7559310
why, all if it is still good, just brusied or ugly looking. all is thoroughly washed. almost everything comes in individual packaging too like this basil... whats wrong with bannanas? or something like oranges with peels? avocados?
What about things like cabbage where you can peel off generously the outer 5 layers and have for sure fresh underneath? what about canteloupes or pineapples? you dont eat the outside?

>>7559311
i mean if thats your thing then go for it, honestly living like a homeless person for 10 months sounds like a waste of my life, i like to have more expensive fun than that and eat actual good clean fresh food, also meat, i get the feeling this hobby has turned you into a vegfag and that is a life i would not want

>>7559320
>hplc etc etc

wtf are you talking about

recently accepted into msc program for medical imaging.... so saving money to minimize loans for it. maybe one day I'll have enough money, but its really not that important to me. I enjoy living in a tent in the forest for extended periods and rock climbing/exploring every day. Do you take your two week vacation every year to a resort and hang on the beach and get drunk? i pity you :(

pesto looking good :)

>>7559320
thats nice for you, like i said if you tricked me into eating your garbage food tho id do violent things to you though, i really hope you dont actually do that and are trying to justify it

>>7559329
i actually go bicycle touring every year and have much more than 2 weeks vaca, I love sleeping in tents/hammocks, I also like to enjoy food that cost money while doing this though like trying all the local joints that i pass through. You kind of just sound like some bum kid with a shit degree trying to make excuses for being a garbage eating failure desu senpai

>>7559330
and as soon as you swung at me I would end your existence you scrawny taintwipe.

>>7559327
high tech machines that use high pressure running complex mixtures through a column to seperate the components. changing temp, solvent and stuff to let certain compounds flow faster and stuff. then things at the end like UV light shooting at seeing how it absorbs it... or mass spectrometer to get some more chemical information as you destroy the sample and see what the fragments could be with respect to remaining masses... science stuff....

>>7559330
I would trick you and you'd love it. I'm never about the big reveal in real life though. always just keep it quiet.


extra desert. bought this discounted pineapple for a dollar so add maybe 25cents to that total...65 cents wew lads

>>7559339
says the rock climber, kid id break you into pieces, your best bet would be to run or climb away as fast as possible

>>7559338
Brutal, well I hope you enjoy your vacation. I enjoy biking but mainly when its to get to somewhere to climb. Yeah possibly some excuses and probably a bum kid. just enjoying exploring things though man. living on a dime and getting the most of what I want outta life. I get that what I do isnt for everyone though. this kind of just facilitates the money to travel and climb and not work so much.

>>7559339
ooo internet beef... lol not me but nice job baiting a reply


>>7559344
OOo baited hard 8/10 for success....


who knows who would win in a fight. why would we have to fight I wouldn't tell you about the garbage anyways hah. 6ft 172lbs, not super jacked but decently musle-y. Big back, lats and tri's... so i could pull you close to me really hard haha my chest is weak.

added some plain yogurt and vanilla yogurt (bought) so maybe add another 50cents. wew a dollar or something now

>>7559341
whether i liked it or not doesnt matter, it would be like if i liked a cookie you made then you told me there were boogers in it but i liked it so i must love boogers right? I couldnt chill with someone like you, do your friends/family know you do this? do you feel they respect you?

>>7559338
so what do you do and how much free time do you get off. weekends after 9-5 m-f? how much do you make?

>>7559344
I'm not the rock climber, son.

Your masturbatory exercise would do literally nothing to help you against me.

>>7559341
no I mean I have no idea why you are talking about whatever you're talking about, I only asked what you meant by having a "chemical degree." Did you mean Chemistry?

>>7559361
Some do, most don't who knows what they really think. Its a shame how much food waste is out there anon. all the stuff i take is very far from becoming inedible. mild bruises. why should that food go to the dump? what about single packaged items like choclate bars or packs of granola bars and stuff? are those ok? why not?

>>7559370

Double major in chemistry and biochemistry. graduated with honors. specialize in analytical chem mainly. starting msc in fall

>>7559365

INTERNET FIGHTTTTTTt

>>7559385
nice gif quality, cobdick.

>>7559364
I have a few part time jobs, i can work as much or as little as i want depending on my mood or plans, Im not claiming to be rich but i do alright and make enough to save and invest. Not really trying to start a bunch of shit with you just curious of what someone like you thinks like

>>7559365
i was interested when i thought you were OP, I have no interest in beefing with some random fedora


good luck OP hope you dont get into some recalled shit and get a disease

>>7559388
>I have no interest in beefing with some random fedora
Nice projection there, wobblechin.

>>7559388
for sure dude, no shit started. Hopefully your curiosity is satisfied, but if not ask away.


Yeah, me too dude. most of the time you can tell when something is there. like package is damaged, label is messed up or something so they dont sell it.

i agree though, it can be risky. I like to roll the dice.Don't get me wrong, I enjoy this but it would be pretty sweet to just go out and buy whatever i want at the store and cook it. better time for me to save right now though. perhaps in the future life will be easier

>>7559413
Don't fret.
If you're not up on the state of /ck/ it has been invaded by fast food shills (ironic and not).
To combat this, supermarket shills have also come in flocks, denouncing fast food and any alternatives that cut their profit (such as dumpster diving)

>>7559424
nice photo choice

>>7559038
Are you pulling this food out of a dumpster at walmart?

>>7559424
are you seriously implying im a grocery store shill for questioning and maybe looking down on dumpster diving? if so you are delusional and let me point you towards your proper board >>/x/

>>7559437

I check everywhere. that reusable bag i bought from walmart though.

>>7559440
The plot loses thickness....

>>7559444
I support your choices anon. Fuck these basement dwelling cucks.

>>7559444
You could start a YouTube channel making recipes out of what you come across everyday.

Easy money.

Make a YouTube channel called Dumpster Kangz and you'll never have to work a day in your life. Get paid to be you, anOn.

I thought it was common knowledge that immense amounts of entirely edible, intactly packaged and untouched food goes into garbage, but I guess I was wrong from all the violent backlash for the subject of this thread.

>>7559470
Ignore the faggots, OP. This shit is great.

>>7559454
Food is expensive man. and so much is wasted that is very much edible or savable. most of the time its not rotten, just bruised or ugly looking. still tasty. wash it well to get any spores off it and it lasts a while in the fridge

>>7559480
I'm not oh-pee, just passing through.

>>7559302
Who is Digging and why is he throwing trash?

good for you, OP. i don't bother with any 0of that, food is maybe %10 of my budget right now but back in the day I raided all kinds of places, had no shame in eating perfectly good food that went to waste otherwise
>lived on reheated donuts for like 3 months
>spectacular in the oven

>>7559459

hmmm looks like there is a lot of competition already. maybe we'll see... Might try :) thanks for the advice

>>7559470

Yep

>>7559480
Thanks man, was letting it get to me a little for a second.

>>7559489
we was all wonderin the same thangggggg

>>7559489
holy shit you just broke my funny bone holy shit you are hilarious

>>7559495
>using an oven to heat up trash donuts

this is why you were poor

>>7559495

cheers dude, maybe when i have more money i can live like that :)

>>7559507
perhaps electricity was included in rent? or perhaps a small oven? i still think the power consumption for a few mins outweighs the cost of food that would fill you teh same way 3 or so donuts would

>>7559038

shine on you crazy diamond

i walked 2500 miles across the USA with a backpack sleeping in ditches. never dumpster dived though, too much pride.and certainly no cooking facilities beyond poundcake tins and sterno.

have fun and enjoy the spoils. more people would do it if they were smart.

>>7559424
My impression was that it was a matter of pride for Anon, combatting anything that to him appears other to his image of good representation. Dumpster Kangz may have his generosity to drain what little wealth he has, but the difference here is that niceness will not cause his downfall. It will elate him through a means.

nah I'm not gonna try this out forget it.

>>7559520
Thanks anon. sounds like an awesome trip. I've never walked that far before. Have driven across though. I liked montana :) Drove across canada too. AB/BC is amazing.

>>7559547
It is pride. people can't do it and i get that. i don't tell many people i do this because I don't know if I could for sure live up to the ridicule from most. its nice to post here and see the mixed feelings. For generosity, i would say that: I'm not a person who has a lot, but I enjoy sharing what I have. Maybe it will be my downfall, who knows.

>>7559548
good, more for me

>>7559576
Mmy mention was that pride can cause ruin, "As Pride increases, Fortune declines"
Yet, "Industry, Perserverence, & Frugality, make Fortune yeild."
Your kindness will be repayed in due time, greater than was spent, so with intrest you will benefit.

>>7559576
you're welcome to it

pic related, this is relatively clean waste disposal in my country

>>7559593
i hope anon, but if not the joy of sharing with others will suffice.

>>7559597
Fair enough. Can/USA tends to be pretty clean man... the bins that I pick from are often cleaned weekly if not monthly.

What places are best to hit up to check for produce and food being thrown away

>>7559286
>>7559287
>>7559288
>>7559293
>>7559302
>>7559310
Ignore all of these shitstain cucks OP, this was a based thread and you did literally nothing wrong. Obviously these posts were made by people who have no real clue how much food is wasted in the world daily, and you should keep doing whatever you want to do. Good shit.

>>7559038
I'm inspired. I want to follow in your footsteps.The thought of all this free produce has left me positively turgid.

>>7559289
Make pesto for pasta. I use toasted pine nuts, olive oil, basil and garlic for my pesto base. You could probably use any nuts. Just reheat, add to pasta and salt to taste. Top with parmesean cheese.

>>7559289
>>7559830
Cashews are nice, you can sundry tomatoes and make tomato pesto as well, lasts for a while and you can use it with pasta/as a dip

>>7559776
>i can appreciate the OC but this is grossing me out, I hope you dont trick anyybody into eating your dumpster produce without telling them, if someone did this to me id probably rage out and fight you
This comment is actually pretty legitimate, I too would be enraged if I found out after the fact that someone served me garbage, some people actually have standards, it's not really a troll.

>>7559908
But you'd never know, and what you don't know could fill a book,and also what you don't know won't hurt you.

>>7559917
Well I can tell you what I do know, and that is I don't associate with bums besides on this site, my friends don't dig for their food in trash cans and also I make sure to do any cooking at any gatherings that call for it. Hopefully the restaurants I go to haven't resorted to this type of behavior. The attitude of this thread is very similar to vegan threads fyi, keep preaching niggers.

>>7559069
>>7559071
kek

I'm surprised by the amount of haters on /ck/. You guys need to change something about your lives. Dumpster bro is cool, has lots of free time, does what he loves, eats well, and is friendly and all of you guys can do is bitch about it. Why so insecure?

It seems like people defending their careers on 4chan are always like this. :(

>>7559413
Why don't you just do foodstamps?

You'll probably get some anons on here bitching about how that's unethical but whatever. Our government in general is unethical and they're there for you to use.

>>7559989
>defending his career
>dumpster diving
Are you serious here, bud?

>>7560009
You misunderstood me.
I'm saying all of the people hating on dumpster bro are the ones defending their careers and expressing negative attitudes.

>>7560017
Supermarket shills and brain-dead sheep don't understand prosperous dumpster diving is and how most of it is thrown out due to bureaucratic nonsense.

I picked up a lot of bread from Jimmy John's since they would throw out the Bread each night to make it fresh each day

>>7559926
Stay upset, autist. You handle ass coins every day and also eat garbage veggies unknowingly. You think you're better than us? Nah, you're just as bad if not worse.

>>7559926
i bet you think all chefs at the restaurants you visit actually wash their hands after taking a shit, don't you lmao

fucking naive faggot

>>7559189
450 for 30 minutes then turn on the broiler for about 5 minutes, depending on how crispy you want them

Skip the water rinsing thing and just toss them with olive oil or use the spray

you reminded me that this happened http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1996588/

you do you OP, dont ever stop

>>7560096
>>7560099
confirmed for bums

Tbh this is gonna become mainstream its really popular in sweden

Can you teach me your ways, dumpster king?

>>7560174
Confirmed for eating doody and rubbish

>>7559271
looks nice op. made me remember old days.

as a side note, you have an inventive and recursive mind, you could sure go raw veg, simplify your life and use that mind for something more relevant than food.

>>7559189
I've never been able to get them crispy. Even most restaurants I've had them at are never crispy. A restaurant I go to batters and fries them, but that's just the batter getting crispy, still good though. It might work better if you cut them thinner and fry them twice, but Idk about the oven.

Good thread. What made you want to start dumpster diving, were you homeless? Do your friends know you do it?

>>7559729

anywhere can be good. some of the best places/chains in one city can be terrible in the next. depends on management policies and how much they want to keep everything looking good in the produce dept. generally places that don't do discounted produce and have a high standard for quality.

>>7559776
Food is expensive brother. lots is wasted. I really like to eat well but its too expensive for me to buy everything right now. Still with this diving/freeish living my expenses are slightly greater than the 150$ a week I'm making now part time.

>>7559805
Wait until i hit a tomato jackpot... Sundried tomatoes for weeks and amazing sauces ;)

>>7559830
Definitely. What do you think of sunflower seeds? have some cashews and usually find those and use... oh shit i found some almonds too! no pine nuts tho :/


>>7559868
Have done in past, LOVED IT!


>>7559908
Thats fair man. I get that people are grossed out by the idea of it all. What about things that are individually packaged though? like granola bars etc? or that basil that was in its own container, or other stuff packed the same way? What about a dumpster containing only bread that is prepackaged? Would that be ok? It usually isnt how people imagine where I go and i surprisingly clean...


>>7559917
:)

>>7559926
lol. fuck veganism hah. When i do this I can afford to buy meat :D

>>7559951
Thank you anon :D glad someone caught that

>>7559989
Its ok, as long as some peeps are enjoying the thread. You lurkers who are intrigued should post if you want more stufff!

>>7559993
Yeah I could i suppose, not too sure how it works in canada though. Leaving the country in the fall to start science/med MSc in yurop. setting up all that shit takes time. will probably rock climb and work a few hours a week and spend time with family. Too many places to go before i leave.

>>7560017
I'm curious as to how many hours people work here, how much free time they have, and how happy they are. Sure, this isnt the idea situation, but if you're poor and have time try it out. you never know what you'll find :)

>>7560090
fresh bread all the time man. even if a little stale, its free and I'm hungry. usually isnt bad AT ALL though. The best were cartons of organic free range omega3 blah blah eggs that had one broken one in them. some stores just toss the WHOLE CARTON!

>>7560096
THOSE PENNIES WERE IN MY ASS


>>7560099
haha ewww. reality is gross...

>>7560111
thats about my usual, but i was finding that the sugars are burning before they become crispy. perhaps a lower temp? will return to this method in future at least.

>>7560162
Thanks anon :)

>>7560330
Yeah, i kinda hope not in a way because more competiton means less good food for me. already see other divers every now and then.

>>7560366
check em. check em all. just go take a peak and walk around back of all your grocers. mostly will be nothing, but if you keep looking you might find a jackpot. usually 9/10 is nothing lately its been good for me at a certain place. was a month without anything there though!

>>7560829
>Ass Pennies

Great skit.

>>7560398
doody, haven't heard that one in a while. nice :)

>>7560552
starting msc in fall, hopefully something better soon :) could eat some raw veg meals, but man i love meat. especially wild game. have some senpai that hunts so getting some nice white tail or black tail is godly. Every now and then my senpai butchers a cow from our farm and we keep some meat. its a million times better than regular store bought factory stuff.

>>7560784
Good insights. I remember thin crispy ones in the caf as a kid in highschool. definitely fried. perhaps the double fry. i wonder what temp to allow the crisp to develop versus burning the sugars...


>>7560814
Hmmmm can't recall... was working 35-50 hours a week and saving some cash, but not enough for the long ass trip i was planning. checked a few dumpster and hit a produce/candy/chocolate/15 big tins of mcDeezy's mccafe coffee and was hooked.

Another reason to dive: just got hit with a 1,200.00 car bill for a bunch of work, safety, e-test etc. life is expensive.

>>7560835
cant find youtube link anymore :(

>>7559189
Broil them for a couple of minutes or fry them up

>mfw OP sticks himself with an AIDS needle and dies of pneumonia

I noticed people talking about crispy fries. The key is to fry them first at ~300 fahrenheit. Pull them out and let them rest for at least five minutes. Then refry them at ~350.

Dumpster san

>>7562046
This is with deep fry im assuming? and regular potatoes not sweet taters? or for sweet taters?

>>7562040
>ops face when that only happens in 3rd world or its equivalent places in the 1st

>>7559071
Leaving the part your not supposed leave in it.

>>7562564
>This is with deep fry im assuming?
Yes

>>and regular potatoes not sweet taters? or for sweet taters?
Works for either one.

>>7560829
>The best were cartons of organic free range omega3 blah blah eggs that had one broken one in them. some stores just toss the WHOLE CARTON!

If you go to certain bulk retail food distributors that sells cases of 15 dozen eggs you can luck out and find a lot of perfectly good eggs, sometimes no where near 'the expiration date' because a corner of the case was smashed and some broke.

>>7559057
but bananan bread

Here's what I found tonight, everything is nice and clean. A ton of salsa in the bin. I could have taken a lot more, but I was on my bicycle and couldn't carry much.

Here's the night before >>7564094

The chives aren't worth using, but everything else is great, the box is full of shallots.

night before >>7564102

the two containers in back are glace figs.

>more people would act like hobos if they were smart

>>7560829
>check em. check em all. just go take a peak and walk around back of all your grocers. mostly will be nothing, but if you keep looking you might find a jackpot
Most of the local supermarkets here use a compactor hooked up to a chute, making it impossible to do any sort of dumpster diving.

>>7559041
>this guy scavenged the can of chinese water chestnuts from the thread two days ago where someone sperged out about food banks
you literally can't make this shit up

I have to say that eating from dumpster is interesting concept.

>>7559189
Cut thinner and coat n starch then deep fry

>>7559293

fuck you. It's a huge problem in developed countries, especially the US, that we throw a way a fuckton of good shit because lawsuits from bitchy cunts. They can't even legally give it away, and the employees aren't allowed to take it. Good on OP for saving the environment.

>>7559520
>i walked 2500 miles across the USA with a backpack sleeping in ditches.

Dude, that's fucking awesome. Make a thread on /out/ or /trv/ about it. What states did you visit? What footwear and setup?

>>7559038
I want to know how to get into a sumpter and get food when security guards are always on patrol. I need your tips OP. Every grocery store in my area either has a guard on night duty or a locked wooden plank fence around the dumpsters.

>>7564823
Dumpster***

OP here's questions or else you're a dumb cuck who just sticks random shit in canvas bags and pretends to dumpster dive:
>what grocery chain
>how are they not locking or securing their dumpsters
>how often do you do this because there are security cameras
>at what time do you do his
>do you drive to the dumpster or do you live within close enough proximity to walk
>what state do you live in
>where do you live and who pays your rent if you are jobless

>throw away a duckin of good shit

So true. I remember doing inventory at a Dr office I worked at. We had to throw away mass amounts of sample cases of expired baby formula and meds. I took a lot of both and gave them to friends with babies and kids but I was just so disgusted that we couldnt give it to a shelter or food bank or someone that could legit use it.

I took home a lot of the antibiotics samples and they saved me a ton of money.

>>locked fence

>dumpster diving

I don't think they even do that in third world countries anymore (barring exceptional circumstances like conflict/famine). in fact many of them have the same problems with overly cheap non-nutritious foods and subsequent obesity rates that the west does

nonetheless, interesting thread. haven't seen a dumpster diving thread here in years

>>7564850
>stealing from work saves money

>>7565103
Not the other anon but I don't consider that stealing if the items are already processed as damages and removed from inventory.

The place I work at had a ton of leftover Easter candy and because of our new store system it had to be "destroyed" while non-food items were returned to our warehouses. Destroying meant throwing garbage bags filled with peeps and jellybeans into our dumpster. I didn't take any but it gets sickening to know how much food gets thrown out when you work at a store.

You're pathetic and disgusting.

>>7565127
I've gone dumpster driving before. It's something that makes sense but it will never become mainstream or accepted.

The more popularity it gains in an area will lead to more security around dumpsters or even prosecute offenders over trespassing or worse if they cut locks.

At the end of the day, they are throwing away stuff to keep profits up. Why pay if you get it for free?

SHEEEEIT

Make a blog, this is great.
Food waste is one of the most stupid thing there is in western(?) society. We can and should do much more to preserve/distribute food.

>>7559038
I'm new here where do you find your dumpsters?

some questions for a newfag if you don't mind me asking your highness
>optimal times for diving
>optimal location for diving
>is it safe (both food wise and fighting off bums)
>how many times have you walked in on homeless person sex?
>if I start dumpster diving will it be easy for me to find a homeless tranny to suck off?

O'King Heed my questions and if thou art truly the Kang of Dumpsters LET THY NAME RING OUT YONDER THROUGH THE VALLEYS AND SUMMITS OF THE WORLD

Why is it so competitive O'King?

Is it the Indians taking yer job?

>PhD Student in genetics

>>7565248

>>7565229

I do it too OP.

Got a lot of bread from supermarket bakeries for free, since I befriended one worker and they really just want to phase them out quickly every midnight.

No spending for lunch.

>>7565265
I work in a grocery store and believe that.

And that is fucking sad.
I was told by my parents to never trash any food; and I really try not do do it. My grandmother used to kiss bread, praising God for it before trashing it (when was way beyond recovery :v) We are lucky and we don't even realize it :v

Sounds about right. Notice the different routes to waste

Poor places it's due to inefficient harvesting/transportation
Rich places it's at stores

Bump with 48 pounds of 'expired' caramel I pulled out of a bin a few months ago.

couple nice big packs of organic miso.

>>7567344
how the fuck can caramel expire

God fucking bless you OP. I work in McDonald's and it breaks my heart seeing the sheer volume of food we throw out on a daily basis.

>>7559376
shit, biochem was my fallback before this thread. you seem like a fuckin awesome dude though so maybe it won't be so bad

>>7564845
not op but you do realize it's completely legal right? Similar to how when someone drags out furniture they don't want anymore to the curb for people to take, it's no longer their property, or stealing, unless the stores have a lock on their dumpster

>>7568302
Could be considered trespassing

>>7568476
If it's behind a gate or those brick divider things then it's trespassing. If not, you're fine. The cops can come and tell you to leave, though.

>>7568302
there is an offence of "theft by finding" in the UK.

You're normally ok, but it's not without its risks in Britain.

One more nights haul, all good stuff from one deli bag.

>>7570672
I'd be afraid to eat the meats ( unless is was cold outside or something) but everything else I would be ok with.

Are people really that poor they can't even afford food?

Oh shit, a dumpster diving thread. Found all these boxes of curry the other day.

>>7570953
Should I try cooking these? Butter chicken is the only dish I know.

>>7570672
Boar's head brats shit nigg(we are all one race the human race)r where do you find this stuff

>>7570969
i got that form a deli garbage bag in a big chain grocery store's dumpster.

>all these fucking hobos

how about you get a job instead of spending your time digging through garbage for food

>>7570953

lol so much curry in the trash where it belonged

i wouldnt have even taken that shit home man

>>7570960
YES. that would be my fav find

>>7572843
>why dont hobos just look for jobs instead of eating and surviving

You should run for President

>>7573147
I looked them up on the internet and all seem like they'd be pretty tasty. Especially want to try making bannana pepper curry. Once I get some meat, I'll post results itt

Went dumpster diving this week. Got a bunch of grapes, raspberries, cilantro, 5 baguettes, a 20 dollar chuck roast(cooked it up, was great) about 10 boxes of granola cereal that doesn't expire for a couple months and 8 still warm little Caesars pizzas(for the roomates of course) this was all in one go, easy shit. Call me a bum, i dare you

>>7573197
Honest question, I dont mean to offend,

What makes you get past the "yuck" factor? How do you eat this stuff knowing it was in a garbage, for god knows how long? Dont you feel emberessed?

>>7573207
If it looks still edible i take it, clean it. Chuck roast was on top, still cold. Past that I can total afford to buy my food and I do most of the time. It's a pretty fun activity if you have no shame like myself

Hey, I'm interested in giving this a try, but I'm worried about someone spotting me and then having me get in trouble for it. Any tips? What's your usual process for doing this? Best times to go/ things to bring / etc?

>>7573214
Know your local ordnance on dumpster diving. It's legal in my town as long as there's no signs. If someones spots me and tells me to leave I leave, no questions asked. I pull my truck pretty close and bring a couple garbage bags. I usually go around 11pm because I know all the stores I hit up are closed.

>>7573224
Have you ever run into animals like raccoons or rats?

>>7573214
Also some people buy grabbers so they dont have to go into the dumpster, I just jump in if I have to. Also flashlight is an absolute must

>>7573207
>What makes you get past the "yuck" factor? How do you eat this stuff knowing it was in a garbage, for god knows how long? Dont you feel emberessed?

I have no reason to be embarrassed or disgusted. Its good food that would have gone to waste otherwise

>>7573232
Never. Most lids I deal with are too heavy for them

Samefag.

Op keep posting. Good and creative thread

>>7559041
lol I just ate a whole damn bag of that mesa sunrise shit

7 bux :(

you win this round hobo

>>7573807
im only the middle post, i find it funny how assblasted some of you are that some people dont like dumpster food, OP started this thread knowing this isnt popular opinion and good for him if he likes this shit

you whiteknighting faggots are the annoying ones

>>7573236
assuming youre OP, I do think youre lying about no need to be embarrassed, you mentioned that you dont tell some people you eat garbage food, it's because theyll judge you, and that embarrasses you deep down

also do you date? would you tell a date or potential girlfriend about this? if not why? if so how does it go for you? Also please describe the girls that are on board with you doing this shit, do the have a funky odor? do they shave their arm pits?
