#dumpsterdiving

This was from Thursday night (an evening of a holiday, was hoping for sweet pastries). Took this pic a few days later (some was eaten already). Left behind a whole bag filled to the brim with other types of buns/rolls.

This is from curb shopping a specific location, someone's household, not a shop's dumpster.... I had a score of sealed products from the same spot not long ago. so much sealed vinegar! I'll be using it for cleaning, so I care less about the date, but if you put it in a salad- how do you get to a state of 8 sealed bottles in the house?!

Last night's dive. One bread, on pack of pitas, some citruses & potatoes, baked goods and nine boxes of cookies (5 dates filling, 3 chocolate filling, and one another kind of chocolate filling).

The bread looks weird because I took it out of the freezer for the picture. I went late last night, after debating if I'm too lazy or not. Most of the stuff at my location are mundane groceries, but every little bit saves me money that can be used elsewhere. There are also 3 golden apples under the bowl of citruses.

This is crazy to me. I've worked in so many retail stores in Australia and very little was ever thrown out. Do they not have factory outlets there?

Already started processing the strawberries (and eating some) when I forgot I wanted to take a picture of it all.

A pack of mushrooms, one mandarin, one bell pepper, one tomato and 3 ketchup bottles (all has an aluminum seal under the plastic cap). One bottle 'best by date' was from 7 months ago, another is from a month ago, and the third (with broken cap) has a future date. It is processes goods, and 'best by' are NOT expiriation dates.

Didn't go DD usual time/location this weekend, but did a bit of curb shopping. Usually you see the declutterring during March. Maybe bc it was a warmer winter people started early. The stuff that are not in English are rice, 3 packs of seasoning cubes, 2 jars of sugar, 1 pack of 'chicken flavoring' powder, 1 bottle of olive oil, 1 bag of crutons. At the back: regular consumer level bug sprays, an orange car (?) Fridge. All are 'best before' mid to end 2025 (olive oil date is 9 days ago). I took only what was sealed or individually wrapped.
