I don’t mean loose food that is just sitting in a trash can (gross), but food that is prepackaged and sealed but has been thrown away.
Pro tip: if you go to the back of really wealthy stores like Whole Foods, their trash cans are usually filled with a lot of those pre-made/pre-packaged dinners. They have to throw them out once they expire but I have never had an issue eating them ~1 week after the expiration date. For me, if it smells good, it is good.
How much could you possibly be saving by doing this??
Bentley Rogers
I save about a few hundred dollars a month. It’s serious money and the food is usually really pretty good too.
What’s the problem with eating pre-packaged food from a dumpster?? It is PRE-PACKAGED and SEALED. Nothing gross is getting in there and contaminating the food...
Connor Sanders
I do this may 3 times a week OP. I just lay the unopened food packages in my sink and spray all of the waste off of them.
Kayden Gutierrez
Why not aspire to have a life where your time is worth more than dumpster diving for food?
i hired two pakistanis to dumpster dive for me and we are reselling the food in my store at 50% life is great kek
Logan Hall
Not sure whay you mean by this. My time is worth it if it saves me money.
Nathan Cooper
A few hundred a month is not worth eating trash. Have you ever gotten sick doing this?
William Torres
I was getting sick sometimes when I was eating food that was more than 1 month expired. Now, I only eat food thay smells fresh and isn’t more than ~4 weeks expired.
Usually you can tell if the food will hurt u by the smell
Jacob Powell
What coins do you buy with the money you save from dumpster diving
I’ll market buy 100k of all of them
Nathan Stewart
Also we’re gonna need some posts to prove you aren’t larping
Joshua Rivera
Pic related is basically my only “furnished” room in my apartment.
I have gotten all my furniture from the garbage. I have never bought furniture in my life because it’s a total waste of money when people literally throw it out all the time.
I like to drink cum. It just seems such a waste to let all that protein go to waste. Not even gay, but I do find gay men to jizz in my mouth on Craigslist when in need of money and food. Suits my lifestyle and you can meet some cool people
Owen Fisher
is that what happens to Jow Forums at the of a bear market?
Zachary Sanders
Nice proof of non larp
Nice neet style of living
Now show us that blockfolio
Wyatt Garcia
You still haven’t told us why you are doing this.
You’re all in hot and nkn right?
Matthew Smith
Audibly kekked while shitting, lel
Anthony Rogers
I’m doing this because I don’t want to have a real job. I work from home doing web development work but only make about enough to cover rent ($500).

Nicholas Reyes
I don’t sleep “on the ground.”
I found one of those thin cushions people with back problems put over their mattress and I sleep on that.
Acrually pretty comfy with the shag rug.
Owen Perry
Seriously have you tried supplementing your diet with cum?
Alexander Wright
just apply for food stamps dumbass. its like a debit card. i applied online and they instantly approved me and got it in the mail 4 days later.
Oliver Lewis
Honestly, what in the literal fuck man? Why not work a real job for like 6mo, stack some cash and try and live on it?
Joshua Anderson
Instead of spending several hours a week looking in bins you could learn a new framework or dev ops or backend or a new language or something that would increase your income to £500 per day. You have a good opportunity to increase your income by becoming more valuable here and you're wasting your time saving pennies.
Nathaniel Myers
If one hour of dumpster diving gets you 40 dollars of garbage food aspire to make more than 40 bucks an hour so it becomes a non issue , you can just work and then buy the food.
Are you honestly retarted ? How do you not understand a basic concept like this?
This. Jesus man... what are you spending most of your time on?
Nolan Stewart
>fucking up your gut biome to save pennies google gut biome brain health connection. you imbecile are destroying your brain no larp
Ethan Powell
Also solving your problems like this basically grantees ur going to be a fringe lifestyle having weirdo who has only hand sex
Aaron Collins
I spend most of my time watching youtube/reading/playing vidya.
My life is comfy and I only have to go searching for food once or twice a week. It's really not that bad...
Bentley Cooper
Re-using old furniture is actually legit af, the only furniture I've ever paid full-price for is my gaming throne. Everything else I got for free from the dump or craigslist, or else got super cheap at a liquidation sale. I've spent less than 500 on all my furniture (+300 for a mattress) for a 2-bed apartment and have some nice shit - leather couches, full-sized bed, recliners etc.
Chase Myers
$40/hr is like 80k a year, dumpster diving sounds based when you do the math
Joseph Lopez
The absolute state of Jow Forums
David Lewis
How does eating good food destroy my brain? Lmao you know nothing about how the body uses food. For most of our species existence, we ate raw meat and foraged for food.
Matthew Garcia
How much hours daily on average do you put in? Are you able to save anything at the end of the month? Besides rent, what else are you spending the money on?
Owen Cooper
>leather couches, full-sized bed, recliners etc. Thousand times this. Got 2 leather Natuzzi recliners for like 7% of their retail price.
Ian Fisher
I am not able to save much. I have the gas in my apartment turned off and I rarely use electricity (unless my apartment is below 50 degrees).
However, I am able to make a bit of extra money on the side selling things I find in the trash on craigslist.
I only spend maybe 2-4 hours a week looking for food.
Logan Garcia
Your spending other people’s money because you are too lazy to work for your own. This is what a parasite is.
Xavier Gonzalez
I meant how much you spend working? The web dev gig. Also how do you cope with the fact you are undateable and also not being able to afford to pay for sex?
Oliver Long
Are food stamps bound to identity? If not, how much do they cost on secondary market?
Brayden Williams
Instead of dumpster diving you could just fast several times a week and eat better food. I only eat on my work days and on the weekends I fast but I do drink some water or coffee on those days.
David Allen
Do you even lift?
Nicholas Hughes
Hahahahah this man is a true biznessman.
Kevin Perez
I only spend about 5-10 hours a week doing web development work. I just update a few websites with relevant information each month.
It’s not complicated or difficult work by any means.
Jack Taylor
learn about your GUT BIOME faggot - what you eat influences all the bacteria and how well you are able to break down food e.g. how much nutrients your gut can actually extract.
How does it destroy your brain? Eating shit = fucking up your brain chemistry = fucked up hormonal signalling, neurotransmitters, etc As an intro: healthline.com/nutrition/gut-brain-connection

Grayson Rodriguez
Yea that doesn’t make any sense. Food is food. What do you think is in the food that i am eating? It’s exactly the same as the food sold in the store except it’s a little bit older
Matthew Morgan
I work at a factory with a lot of heavy lifting, does that count?
Kayden Davis
Exactly.
Pic related is my living room. I’m still looking for a couch but all the ones I can find smell bad or are wet.
Did you find your house in the garbage too user? What kind of work do you do? How much do you make? Where are your parents? How old are you? Are you a virgin? You doing ok? So many questions
Jaxson White
At least he's not neeting it up at his parents'
Isaac Williams
Why is everyone on this board concerned about appearances like women? Honestly OP you do you. There are actually women who are even into frugal living and do the same things. Sometimes to an even bigger extreme like hunting their own food and even foraging. They tend to make good wives since they make a lot of things from scratch. I lived out in a rural community and lots of people lived like this, with barely anything in their homes. (and a couple of crazy hoarders)
Nathan Jackson
Include me in the screencap

>How much do you make? ~$500 a month. Sometimes I have months when i make more and sometimes when I make less.
>Where are your parents? Basically homeless/live in another state
>How old are you? 20
>Are you a virgin? No
>You doing ok? Yea? In fact my life is comfy.
Nathaniel Brown
Where?
Leo Bennett
Bro you're not frugal You're a cheapskate
Robert Flores
You will never get laid. Nesting is some bullshit , but gotta do it for pussy.
Wrong and I think it’s funny beta males actually believe this.
I have hooked up with multiple women using dating apps. All I do is ask them if I can come over to their apartment and watch a movie. I workout a few times a week by running up/down hills near my apartment so I am in decent shape.
I find it absolutely hilarious that you guys actually believe that you need shit to impress women. Long-term dating, maybe. Hook ups? Definitely not.
Easton Sanders
Wait is OP a based nomad frugal alpha?
Juan Young
Wow you can pull low tier roasties off dating apps. When you are done with empty sex and hookers you gotta nest, don't act like you have the world all figured out because you live in an empty apartment and eat food out of a dumpster. This phase of you life will end one day and you won't be such a cocky little prick.
OP what are your all-time favourite movies and albums?
Joshua Martinez
Lol
Ryder White
See The main issue I have with getting laid is avoiding dinners/areas where I’ll be obligated to spend money. Usually though, I can just tell the girl that I’ll come over to her place and cook her dinner and usually they find that pretty sweet anyway
Caleb Walker
people sell foodstamps all the time. You pay the person with the card, then take the card from them and go into the store. it's difficult to find a platform to buy them from tho.
William Lewis
You are literally feeding women off tinder food you find in the dumpster ?
Ayden Stewart
Most criminally underrated post ITT. I laughed so hard at “meet some cool people.” Well played.
Bro if you're serious about frugality and have a few pounds to lose just mix some baking soda, no-salt and table salt in a few liters of water and begin fasting for days on end, drinking your salt water while you save hundreds of bucks a month and eat good food every five days instead of digging in the trash like a mong.

This is one of the more wild poasts ive seen on here lol holy shit
This is level 100 NEETism
Isaiah White
something tells me you're older than OP and accomplished less than him dating-wise he's really not cocky at all and you need to get your head out of your ass if you don't want to wake up one day and realise your life is almost over with nothing to show for it
Angel Miller
>one of the more wild poasts ive seen on here You are rather new here, aren't you? Lurk moar
I'm convinced that frugal people are dumb if not mentally ill. It's one thing being good at budgeting money but it's another thing living like a stray dog. The reality is frugal people aren't good at making money so they resort to cringe shit like dumpster diving. The most annoying thing is that they always have to let everyone know how frugal they are and look down on people who like to spend money on nice things. It's like their personality revolves around being frugal as possible.
Connor Bell

Jace Anderson
fucking filth holy shit
Nicholas Jones
There's a difference between being frugal, buying potato, oats and drinking lots of water compare to living like your practicing for the post apocalypse.
I'm sure buffett gets all his meals at the landfill
Nolan Diaz
Not into fasting. I'm a tall guy and need all the calories I can get lol
Logan Russell
This place is a chamber of mental illness
Jayden Bennett
he does.
Parker Taylor
Either he's just content with what he has or he does it for the public image. Public image is good for the business after all.
Yeah, he has breakfast at Mc'Donalds everyday
Parker Garcia
The irony, this is the most active thread on Jow Forums
Kevin Cook
This and the sex doll thread.
Easton Mitchell
The parasites in his brain have already gotten to him. It's no use.
Nathaniel Foster
Since when did women care about how your place looks? You know how hard it is to find a guy with a job car n their own place.
Legit kek
Josiah Thompson
Dont do this op. Its mustard gas
Jackson Butler
Are people here just jealous that I live a great life that is practically filled with free time?
What's with all this negativity?
Elijah Watson
These pictures are horrifying
Xavier Evans
Yes unironically
Brandon Reyes
Op, are you srsly content with your life and have no ambitions? It’s one thing to feel comfy, but you sound like you’re aimless. What are you doing on Jow Forums?
Also do you have friends? What do they think about your lifestyle?
Cooper Gonzalez
Don’t listen to them, this is based.
My brother actually lived in the woods for a while, now he’s in a mental rehab place at the prompt of my parents, but he’s still wholly dedicated to getting a tent and continuing living outside when he gets out. My mom is absolutely freaked out about what will happen when he does.
