YES...should get me through the week. Grocery store dumpsters are a wealth, and don't be afraid to ask your local produce workers for culled fruits/veggies...dying for a home. Support you local dumpsters My two cents on dumpster diving:

While I was waiting for my friend I noticed some pecans on the ground when I realized I was standing under a pecan tree. I grabbed as many as could fit in my hat. Had it not been for the post...I probably would have just assumed they were some funky acorns. Trace – Had to go up to New Bern today(so much better than Wilmington).

Haven't "stopped by" in awhile and see that I've missed a lot. Blog looks better than ever and this story is amazing! I just wish there were as many pecan trees here in Philly to forage from - we have plenty of gun shots and thugs though to go around. I have a mean pecan pie recipe if you ever need it. :) Hey Trace!

The weird thing was that the bike he was on was way nicer and newer than mine. I could have gone for a swap... He didn’t seem that interested in the pecans.

Glad you made it out alive and with your wallet and bike intact. Wonder what your would-be mugger friend would have done if you had just offered him the pecans instead?

I imagine meat is no good...I could be wrong. Vegetables, dented canned goods? I'm going to make a grocery list so I want to be able to plan it out a bit. Thanks.

You figure it out after a bit. Fall and winter and good times to go just because of the temperature outside. Dumpstered food has been part of my diet for quite awhile now. I always find good stuff.

Just curious, it might be a fun expedition if I don't come out covered in rotten food... Trace- In reference to dumpster diving, did you ever find anything worthwhile to eat?

The gate guard called some other guard. I hid in the dumpster while my partner Kristin evaded the guard by staying on the opposite side of the dumpster from him while he nosed around. He finally left without saying a word. It was like a cartoon. Note to readers - Landfall is the "premier" gated community in Wilmington. Those of us fortunate enough to live outside its ten foot walls call it "Landfill". A million years ago I was dumpster diving at the grocery store right by the Landfall gates.
