Freeganism (or something)

After reading the 'food thread' i remembered when (with a group of mates) tried this crazy scheme.




Lets give you some background :

I was on my merry way to derby for some reason. I think it was to drop some stuff off for dad. However on my way i was listening to Radio 2 where they had some crazy ass bastard who didnt buy anything at all. He took it all from dumpsters. (food anyway). He said his diet was top notch. He never fell ill. All the food was in perfect condition.

apparently supermarkets will throw out food on the sell by date or just before or 1 day after. Most of this food is absolutely fine. obviously things like fruit etc might not be but hey....everything sealed is ok.
These are put in big bags and chucked in dumpsters round the back.


I got back to aberystwyth and for some reason this came up in conversation with my flatmate Phil.
Kate was also present and with her usual 'oh dear' expression when we come up with yet another really stupid thing to do. We had someone else 'join the fray' who from now on will be known as Tony (thats his real name!)


So at 3am we set off for safeway hoping that we would find a large cache of sealed currys which we could freeze and live like Kings off.
The thoughts of expensive curry food for free thrilled us all. We were all dressed in black.
Phil and I had gone on a recon mission earlier to find out where the cameras were and what the arc of 'visibility' was. Tony looked like a terrorist with his mask and black clothing. It was all very odd. If we had been stopped i have absolutely no clue how i wouldve explained the obviously dodgy nature of our clothing and why we were all in the car at 3am driving to safeway.

However now we were all dressed completely in black (this is probably why at the time it felt rather cool - it was like a military operation heh). We pulled up behind safeway and had a 2minute look for a 'bin' that would be full to the brim of currys just screaming 'eat us eat us'. However we found none.

Not a single one. The only bin they had was 240ft tall so we gave up and went to somerfield. Somerfield had cameras EVERYWHERE so we just gave up and went home hungry.

We thought our crazy adventure was over but no. Next morning it turns out one of our other mates in the Uni shop had heard about our crazyness and rang to tell us that the shop was throwing out all the sandwiches over the weekend that had just gone off. We went up and after a brief 'isnt the weather nice' blah blah conversation he slipped us a note giving us details of where the food was.

we went round the back and found a giant black bin liner FULL of food. So we grabbed it and took it back to the flat.


HO HO HO WHAT JOY
That day we ate £40 worth of sandwiches that had absolutely nothing wrong with them. Obviously there were shit loads we wouldnt touch (like prawn cocktail for example) and lots which were too many days over the sell by date. However it was free and it felt rather cool to 'get one up on society and its capitalism haha'.


SO THE MORAL OF THE STORY :
(or something)

Have you, or anyone you know, gone out to get free food thats been sealed in dumpsters? We failed miserably without an inside man but have any of you had a curry feast for free?










p.s. i should feel ashamed but i dont.

Re: Freeganism (or something)

when you are a pennyless student the lure of curried food is so great i cannot describe.

p.s.


i sent Tony and Phil to fiddle about in the bins. I was the 'getaway' driver

heh

Re: Freeganism (or something)

You needed better initial intel reports. You were working on too small an amount of information for a black ops mission like that. Although your initial recon was good, taking into account the camera arcs and security, your preperation was poor. Enquiries should have been made as to when goods were thrown out at mentioned shops - perhaps befriending a lonely geeky employee and exploiting his knowlege.

Ultimately an A+ for the idea, but a C for planning and a D for execution.

Re: Freeganism (or something)

Paging Snurx....

I read a punk rock/anarchist fanzine once which gave a whole stream of instructions on how to live for free (travel on trains without paying, get free food from dumpsters, shoplifting, etc). It's all about getting the best locations, or getting friendly with staff who work in food outlets.

I'm incredibly lazy, but it's certainly something I'd do when I ran out of people to borrow money from.

Re: Freeganism (or something)

I've done that lot's of times, it's a great way to get free food! It's just about finding the right places, and the best places (In my experience) are the expensive food-chains or stores, and the so-called "immigrant" shops. Sealed food can hold for long, and sometimes they throw out whole loads beacause of one fault. I found a dumpster full of rasins that held for more then a year, and found out later they had been throw out since one of the packs had a tear in the outer-seal. The western world's garbage is a nice place to scavenge..

Of course, dumpster diving is about more then food! You can get clothes, cell phones, televisions, or about any other common thing. Normal people throw out so much usefull and still working stuff it's sickening.

There is, however, one big problem with dumpster-diving, and it's the law. It's ****ing sick, but you are not allowed to look throught what other people have thrown out and take with you what you want. So, it's smart to be ninjas like JJ and his pals, but hey, don't care about the cameras if you have a mask on.

Dante, was it Profane Exsistence by any chance? I think I read a article like that in that zine a while ago..

Re: Freeganism (or something)

JJ the alternative is to do what I do and base yur food shoping around oops items at asda.

For three people I spend on average £20 a week and we never run out of food or pop (no beer in that amount).

I buy mainly reduced items (which are still in date) and then freeze.

I go mostly twice a week at set times because I know when the oops items are put out. I reckon it saves me at least 50% of the food bill.

The other one was I watched anthony worrel tomkins and he had a army chef who proactive encouraged used of corne beef for meals. Corned beef can be gotten for under 30p a can and can make cottage pies, chillis, bolognese, pies, pasties and allsorts. Again I guess your cullinary imagination is the limit of what you can actually do. But if its good enough fr the army is gotta be good enough for you!

I go mostly twice a week at set times because I know when the oops items are put out. I reckon it saves me at least 50% of the food bill.
The other one was I watched anthony worrel tomkins and he had a army chef who proactive encouraged used of corne beef for meals. Corned beef can be gotten for under 30p a can and can make cottage pies, chillis, bolognese, pies, pasties and allsorts. Again I guess your cullinary imagination is the limit of what you can actually do. But if its good enough fr the army is gotta be good enough for you!
what are these oops items of which you speek, i'm intrieged.

thye have little yellow stickers on which say oops

a example is chicken florentine (chicken in a creamy white sauce with mushrooms and n a bed of spinach) - normally sold for 4 quid for 2 and picked up 4 for 2 quid.

You can get sausages, meats, pizza's, cheese, bread, cakes, veggies etc etc etc

All are so reduced in price its hiddeously cheap to eat well

They are near sellby date so you just freeze until required

Re: Freeganism (or something)

very true - but you can get 2 cases of carling for 20 quid from asda (48 500ml cans).

Also yu can go to a place called hooties by me and get 4 bottles of alcopops for 2quid an a decent bottle of 40% vodka for 7quid.

There i also a shop fairly close by i can get a bottle of sparkling wine for 99p.

So thats also easy if you know where to shop

Re: Freeganism (or something)

Asda has an alchyhol section and own brand beers. £5k's worth of Stella got slightly damaged when a truck backed into two pallets of it in the warehouse last year. That was sold off for £5 for 30 330ml bottles

Re: Freeganism (or something)

all of that booze is overpriced (but then, i do most of my shopping for that in europe). wine should be 3 for £2.00, and bottles are cheaper than cans.

bottles maybe cheaper than cans but for quantity cans are always better value
