Most of the articles that I’ve read about Dumpster Diving begin with “It’s not for everyone, but…” And then comes the list of magnificent benefits, mostly centered around the moral and financial satisfaction of eating good food for free while also saving it from a landfill. I’ve never tried the art of dumpster diving, although I frequently stop and pick up items left on the side of the road. And I’m very impressed by an anonymous relative’s recent dumpster prize of 11 (!) bottles of extra virgin olive oil. My anonymous relative saved at least $200, just by going to the trouble of putting on a black outfit, walking behind a store in the dark, and peeking into a dumpster with a flashlight (did I mention that entering dumpsters is illegal?) Nonetheless, if you want to learn more about turning garbage into grub, Click Here or Click Here. There is even a How-To book.
