My local food bank can only provide 8 packages with referrals every time before you run out, and I have, but my situation hasn’t improved financially due to various set backs and I’m struggling to feed myself. I’ve heard that supermarkets throw out massive amounts, but have never been in a position where dumpster diving seemed feasible. People who do it, what time of day do you do it and how do you find good spots? UK resident for ref
If you have a little Caesars near you that does hot n readies, they generally throw out a lot of expired ones. They sit in the warmer for like 30 minutes and then would be moved to the top of the oven until someone brought them out to the dumpster. It was my job at one time, but if anyone asked me for any of the pizzas on the way, I’d give them the full stack if they wanted that much. YMMV. I wasn’t supposed to according to the owner but fuck him, he wasn’t even in the same town 98% of the time and the closing managers didn’t care (one of them even had me bring it out to someone’s trunk that they wanted to help out).
I hated that food waste.
