“We’re doing something that is really socially unacceptable,” Nelson said. “Not everyone is going to do it, but we hope it leads people to push their own limits and quit spending.” Great a nation of scavengers!

It would be a gosh darn shame if this trust fund dame were to come down with something nasty as a result of all the tiny...and not so tiny...creatures that tend to hang around dumpsters.

My dictionary doesn’t have “freegans”. I think the word they’re looking for is “bums”.

It’s nothing new. I know a lot of women that self medicated on anti depresants, left their husbands, kids, lost the house, all their money and live off of dumpsters.

Good. That means there is an opening for director of communications at Barnes and Noble.

I don’t have a problem with it. I wouldn’t do it myself, but this really is no different than buying the meats, dairy, or breads that are marked down close to expiration dates.

Ironically - if the entire country were like these folks, the cheap bastards wouldn’t have anyone to mooch off of.
They think of themselves as social heroes while simultaneously piggybacking on the wealth and prosperity of those they think are “wasteful”.

These are the same people that are touted as having “no health insurance”.....and that they intend to MANDATE others pay for their insurance......

I don’t judge anyone who makes a non-criminal living without dipping into my pockets.
What ticks me off is watching people in my line at the supermarket paying with their WIC cards and strolling off into a nicer car than I can afford. THAT bothers me.
People want to dumpster-diver for fun and profit, knock yourselves out.

It used to be that people who scavanged through other people’s trash were called bums. Now they’re “freegans”? How about “weirdos”?
