"I'll be honest. I am not f*cking with dumpster diving for food. Not knocking others. I just can't do it. "b, 21b, 21"yea, i wouldn't eat shit from a grocery store dumpster......i ain't knocking the hustle, but something about it.. not for me....."b, 21b, 21b, 21Yes you would. If you had to.b, 21b, 21The right (wrong) circumstances, you would eat it no question.b, 21b, 21Although i think im talking on a different level than these upper middle class white guilt hipster mungbean poseurs who see it as a lifestyle choice.
i feel you man... i would if it came down to it.....but i'm in f*cking wheaton man....not that it means a damn thing but the local food pantry hooks it the F*ck up. even well off families go there to save loot. i would def. go there before eagles rank ass rotten milk juice infested dumpster. i guess it is a lifestyle choice, but thats just how it is here. thats how i was brought up.
b, 21i used to go behind the jays potato chips factory and load the F*ck up....them shits were still in cases....just 1 day past the expiration date...jalapeno and bbq cases for days.

b, 21back in the day (age 16)... we used to blaze down (obviously)....hit the local grocery dumpsters and load the trunk up with cases of expired fruit and veggies. drive around whipping whatever we got at oncoming cars, people at the bus stop, peoples cribs, people on bikes, parked cars. shit was fun as hell. we called it fruiting. the worst was in the dead of the winter, hucking frozen cantelopes(sp?) at shit. i kinda feel bad now though. we would end up shattering windows, and making people eat shit off their bikes on busy streets. thank you jewel, dominicks, and eagle for the great times.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21Is talking about Wheaton like everybody knows where that is and referencing Wheaton in your name symptomatic of the sort of personality bred in Wheaton?b, 21b, 21b/wb, 21b, 21Seriously, where the F*ck is Wheaton?

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21My friend said that he refurnished his apartment with really nice stuff one time by waiting for bulk trash day, then driving around the rich neighborhoods in the Oakland/Berkeley hills with a U-Haul, picking up furniture that rich people had put out. Good idea right there.
tripledouble and i run in similar circles and i know dumpster diving is a great thing!b, 21b, 21haven't done it in a while, but i was recently living in a punk house (featured in that Thurston Moore forwarded book that came out last year) where they went from pure dumpstering to getting jobs at vegan/veggie bakeries and health food stores so they didn't have to dumpster dive much anymore, as they could take home weekly leftovers.b, 21b, 21also, with craigslist now in full force, the house inhabitants have utilized that for free furniture, etc.b, 21however,barnes & noble and borders, and the occasional wegman's supermarket runs have continued as well as the local college campuses (lehigh and muhlenberg). certainly not quite the goldmine of U Penn, but something!
