    I think my hubby has caught the dumpster diving bug! Finally! He and my 16 year old just left the house to go make the rounds to rescue stuff from going to the landfill that can be donated, sold or consumed. I hate the waste. I’ve showed them your videos so they can see that stores literally waste stuff all the time. It’ll be interesting to see what they come back with. 👍🏻. Thanks for sharing your videos and your life with all of us. God bless you and yours! 💕

    I stopped by my Aldi the other day emboldened by your channel I wanted to give this a try. The dumpster was full of potatoes and apples. I came away with a bag of red potatoes that I fried in the air fryer and wow they're awesome.

    I'm really enjoy your hauls. Here in Memphis, Tennessee...all food that's still variable goes to M.I.F.A....that's one of many religious organizations than band together to take care of the elderly...homeless...food shortages around the tri-state area. That's what I found out when I asked an employee of Aldi's. Merchandise get destroyed being dumped. Anyway it's what my Dad would call a hustle. What someone don't want repurpose and help someone else...being elderly or cash strapped. Oh...on that package of ground beef...when it makes a big bubble, then you know something is gone wrong. Well that's about it. Stay blessed and frugally happy😉😊👌

When it's summer I'll take a cooler in my car, adding some freezer blocks (like you use while camping) and then immediatly will put chicken and meat stuff into that before I drive home and that's even when I just buy store bought meat. Thank you for sharing! xo.

    @connieswanson5731 5 років тому

    The Malta.... its a strange drink... usually seen here in Miami.. most people drink it straight from the bottle (its a bit TOO strong for me) it is non alcoholic but reminds me somewhat of the taste of Bock Beer. I LOVE it poured over vanilla ice cream to make an Ice Cream Float!

    • @gloriastroedecke2717
      @gloriastroedecke2717 5 років тому

      You will see Malta in places where there is a large Latin American population. It is an acquired taste. Strong and yeasty and as Connie Swanson states non alcoholic. It has a nice tempering affect on sweet creamy foods. In fact one of my Anthropology teachers liked to make milk shakes with it. It is derived from yeast. Besides the Crown brand Goya also makes and sells Malta.

    I don't know if in will ever do what you do. But one thing I will say is the amount of waste that this country throws away is sad. All that food could be donated to a variety of community pantries, shelters etc.
