2025 - Freecycle and similar Free stuff

Great story. Vinny. I'd like to be a "character" like him!
To be clear, when I go to the church, I aim to be one of the last ones there - so that I collect the food that nobody else wants. I was Number 25 yesterday - and the last! They're actually grateful for people like me, clearing up what might otherwise go to waste. The helpers will have already taken whatever they wanted. They were desperate to get rid of bread yesterday so I "helped" them
I've just been to one of my "regular" customers The one who gave me salmon last week. Apparently, she goes shopping in Lidl on Sunday and clears out her fridge on Monday. Once she's sees something that is out of date/or expires that day, she cannot bring herself to eat it. She said she wished she was like me , but then she wouldn't have anything to give me.
Anyway, I have some yogurts, instant porridge, bagels, malted milk biscuits, a pot noodle and a Chinese meal.
Also collected 2 watering cans which I'll keep at the Veg End of the garden.

So you are one step short of a 'Skip diver' then?  Only joking Veggie, I have the utmost respect for what you are doing!  I use stuff that is out of date but my relatives disaprove of it! To me, making a meal out of YS stuff is more nteresting as you never know what you ae going to get? Its not a bout the money, I could easily afford the same in-date poduce but usually would never think of buying it.For me it's an up-yours to 'big food' with there sell by and use by dates.

My Daughter was distaught when I told her I had eaten a rump steak from the fridge that was 12 days out of date.To me it looked ok and smelled ok so I ate it, with no ill effect!
