A self-proclaimed “dumpster diver” has shown off her massive food haul after nabbing $1,000 worth of fancy food for free.
The woman, who goes by the name Dumpster Diving Freegan on TikTok, rummaged through bins at her local Whole Foods store and found a range of bakery items, a case of baby food, and even loo roll which the store was throwing out.
SNIP
“And the worst part is, none of this stuff was expired. Everything that I found was at least two days before its ‘best buy’ date and could have easily been donated, frozen, or given to people who needed it.”

Baked goods degenerate fast without preservatives.
True French bread will lose its quality within hours.
Please don’t invite me to dinner......................
Typical blogger.
Eating trash and wishing to be paid for telling about it.
Many times Government bureaucracy makes it damned immposible for stores to give unsold food away regardless of the expiration date. As e’fed up as NY is it is prolly less hassle to throw it away.
Most stuff you buy at supermarkets has a ton of preservatives.
She should tell Whole Foods to call a food pantry for the throw-outs. They would be happy to pick it up and give it to needy families.

“Loo roll”?
LOL
A useful future skill.
When Democrats say, “Let them eat cake,” we’ll know what they mean.
Local supermarket had a power outage and threw out a bunch of food. Cops got called to guard the dumpsters. People were livid.
‘... Government bureaucracy makes it damned immposible... .’
You are correct. Bureaucracy creates a large part of this waste. Easier to toss than to hassle with Government regulations.
I think we are a throw-away society. I’d rather go to a flea market for my furniture than to Ikea, but everyone else wants Ikea, which generates more cardboard waste, and the products aren’t nearly as good as older furniture from flea markets.
Just me. (There’s some liberal in me somewhere.)
That’s British for toilet paper.
$1000 at Whole Foods is not a lot of food.
When they first opened here, one of the guys went there and bought a salad from the self serve salad bar. It was $19.65 when they weighed it up. He could have gone to Ruby Tuesdays right next door and had the all you can eat salad bar for $9.95.
EEEEWWWW!!!...................
I feel sorry for the dumpster.
Freegans: These horrible stores throw out all this food that could be used, we should have a regulation to make them give it away to shelters.
Stores: Well I wish we could give it to homeless shelters but the regulations you all love so much say we HAVE TO THROW IT ALL OUT!
Politicians: ( Laugh in Bureaucrat )
Bingo.
Liberal safety-health NAZIs would rather their beloved “homeless” vagrants do dumpster-diving themselves, than let homeless shelters have food that’s partially used or open, or “expired”. Or, God forbid, come from a woman’s home kitchen.
Serious.
My son furnished his entire first apartment(except a new matress) from furniture bought on Facebook Marketplace.
Used furniture is worth 25% or less of its original price.
Me, neither. *yuck*
The same time could have spent doing much more productive things.
