Every SINGLE FUCKING DAY, over 13 MILLION DOLLARS of food is thrown away in America, most of this being perfectly edible. This bounty sits like a backrooms orchard in a dumpster in your town, waiting for you to pluck it from the Agri-Jews profit margin.
This thread is dedicated to sharing methods and tips for maximum recovery of this untapped source of faggy modern waste, and to ultimately achieve a far right monopoly on its resource, which manifests as nothing less than an inquisition upon the moral delinquency of our neurotic obsession with sterilized state approved simulations of gastronomical piety.
Best places to dive: Aldi Whole Foods Grocery wholesalers mid sized local grocers Dollar Tree Dollar General Coffee shop/ bakeries (starbucks, biggby, etc)
Best time to dive: 30 minutes - hour after business closes
DD Ettiquette: 1. Do not make a mess. Messes result in locked dumpsters. In fact , if another diver has left a mess, clean it up. 2. If some fuckwad put a no trespassing sign up, just move on. its not worth having some badgefag show up and boomer blast you into a court date 3. Fuck a 1st dibs diver. Dont be afraid to dive while someone else is also there, its society which has made available this cheat code, and its all of society which should benefit. 4. Take what you can utilize, leave what you cant. Unless you find you are the sole diver of a certain spot, chances are someone else will come along and grab what they need. 5. connect with fellow divers you see. the trash-person unity you instantly feel when meeting other vulture-dicks is akin to finding out your trailer park friends mom is hot as fuck and wants to lip grip your soggy balls
I live in a gated co op community, middle/upmid class. There is a central location the workers brink the bulk trash to and every wednesday i go down to see good stuff people are throwing out. Sometimes im lucky when an old person dies leaving their kids to unknowingly throw out outdated, but solid well built antiques and furniture. One time i found an old school dollhouse, about 4 feet tall and made of solid wood, amd ever since my 5 year old insists on going with me to treasure hunt. Its a great pasttime, you need not have shame, and its a fuck you to the consumerist mentality

I remember turning 18 first amongst all my friends, >first thing they ask me to do was goto the adult bookstore and buy some VHS movies As I was in the store nervous as fuck, they waited in the car. I come out with one movie and walk towards the car (Jeep cherokee) and I almost get hit in the head by a huge ass box as I walk next to the dumpster. Out pops one head, then another, and then the boxes just keep flying out. Box after box after box of old VHS, we loaded up the car the when we tallied them up it was close to 500 tapes. They all had some problem, some were blurry, some had broken rollers (easy fix), most didnt have cases. We made bank selling them for 10$ a pop at school. Posters, fuck there tubes of brand new poster never opened. 1990s porn stars from Wicked and Vivid. Magazines, with the cover. Thats how the store gets credit for the mags, they take the cover and then pay for the remainder to the distributor.

Where I live it's donated to a food share for free meals etc...but some of that inevitably goes bad as well and that can be picked up by anyone who has animals - like pigs. Great system.

The dumpsters here are not accessible, usually fenced off because we're not a third world country like the US.
Depending on the condition and temp outside there's more likelihood of getting sick from that leftover pizza on your counter than eating sealed and packaged items from the dumpster. Also a decent number of vegatables can be regrown in your yard even if molded or partially rotten. Like when your potatoes get mushy and grow eyes if you are grossed out quartering them can produce 11 from 1. Food waste is a big deal and shits gonna go south fast.
So when you are inline for a JSDF food ration and you realized a gallon of milk 2 loaves of bread and a cartoon of eggs isnt enough to last you 2 weeks you'll remember this.

Theres a coffee shop/bakery in my town that gives away everything they throw out towards the end of the day. They offer it to people in the shop or walk around outside and offer it to passerby. I frequently go get free donuts and shit there, like a rat

this seems like a good source of material for composting
you don't want rotten food really you want it to be alive until you can ensure it will decompose in aerobic conditions

>cut eyes off potatoes treated with clorproham, dip ends in fungicide (that you have to buy), wait 2 days to plant >spend $3 for whole untreated seed potatoes

13 million is a vast, vast understatement.

in addition to the places OP listed, i have had luck in the past with places like: bakeries (bruegger's bagels etc) pizza shops that sell ready-made or by-the-slice (go at the end of the night) food co-ops/organic grocery stores (these are probably the best) food banks/charitable organizations that receive food donations (typically stuff is closer to expiration date but you can receive some amazing items, one time i got like 10 lbs lamb chops, another time a huge thing of brisket and prime rib)
also don't be shy about going to food banks. i've been pretty broke so this is how i've built up my canned/dried food stash over the last year- every month i'll go to each of the three food banks in my area, they usually give you veggies/meat/perishables as well as dried/canned food, i just supplement my groceries with the fresh stuff and stash the dried/canned stuff. i probably have enough food for 2-3 people for 3 months at this point, for free. homeless shelters too
mom & pop/regional chains are better than corporate chains usually
best time to go is about an hour after they close
another way is to volunteer/make friends with the organizations that receive the food (soup kitchens/food banks etc). this is the ultimate food hack. usually they have a schedule like you help cook/serve one meal a month or every other week. you get the satisfaction of helping others, and then also an inside angle on the massive amount of food that gets donated. my roommate worked at a homeless shelter and we just didn't have to buy groceries ever, probably saved $2-3k over the course of the year, and ate like fucking kings. steak, shrimp, organic local veg, exotic spices, the finer things in life

If you live in condo towers in large cities, there likely will be a bin for electronics and electric stuff, people often throw out older but still functional stuff (few years old = bad). You can easily sell it if you don't need. Once I picked up an iMac including keyboard and mouse in perfect condition.

It's not just this but even in my own living area when people are getting ready to move out they just throw out their things on the curb. I live in an area where there are a lot of Jews and they just don't care. Last time I managed to nab up perfect condition books that I searched them up and 2 of them are worth at least $120.

There are a million videos on youtube on how to do side hustles to pay the bills. You are not backed up against a wall like you think. For instance, retail arbitrage.
It is really not difficult to make 50k/yr just thrifting and selling items on ebay and similar sites. It takes zero risk to start doing that and there are a billion and one videos showing how it's done.
There is no reason to sell your soul just because of a job especially now when there are so many other ways to make money other than a job that demands your internal biology as its possession.
"Daily Refinement"'s youtube channel has interviews with tech n sports are very good for showing how to focus on a niche and become efficient enough to be much more profitable.
Thrift and sell things on ebay or poshmark or amazon. You can make mid 5 figures and don't have to play clot shot roulette.
