Yeah, I don't do that.
I use pre-owned computers, pre-owned furniture, pre-owned tires, and pre-owned clothes. But, I'll never use pre-owned food unless I'm starving to death... literally.

Can't say that I would do it with food, but anything else reusable doesn't get scrapped. Anyone interested in this should check out "Extreme Cheapskates" on TLC. Some of the stuff they do is even more questionable than food in a dumpster, but they do that too. Check out the episode where one guy buys a goat's head from a butcher with change he found in the gutters. BLAH!

guess I have never found anything good in regular sources but grocery stores when I was younger were a great source of food not starving but they throw out so much food that just looks worse for wear as in the way food normally looks and apples other fruit and things are great that way but now they have compactors so no go.

Personally I dont dumpster dive or get into the construction dumpsters. So, no, I would consume any food item from dumpsters. I do shop curbco occcasionally, but with gas prices only if in rte and spot something quick.
Kinda off-topic, but relAted to dumpsters, I was almost hit in the head by a man throwing scrap out of construction dumpster. It was directly by a sidewalk at a strip of stores and he threw electrical stuff onto the sidewalk right as I walked by!~ Gave me a startle..it was a deep dumpster so didnt see his head or anything. Couldnt complain, he was in there trying to make some cash and save the environment.

I have found food stuff in car at scrap yards. They sometimes get a bunch of repo cars. Checked a car and found a bag of canned goods and some cornbread mix. Sorted it out when I got home and noticed it was mixed brands. Came to the conclusion that the car owner had gone to a food pantry and then had the car repo'd before they could unpack. Someone had a truly lousy day! And the cornbread turned out great.

I know a guy who repairs vehicles , he once had a boston market truck get towed to his shop for repair . 2 days of sitting in the sun made it a mobile Petrie dish . No one mentioned it was fully loaded when it came in . But apparently the dry stock was removed the day it arrived by hungry mechanics .

it's all in your head. unless you are making and preparing all of your food the same argument applies to the food u eat.

I'm sure I have less chance of getting tainted, spoiled, rotten, or contaminated food from a grocery store than from a dumpster. Not saying it's impossible, just unlikely. The chances of quality food from a grocery store are exponentially better than the chances of quality food from a dumpster.

There's a documentary about dumpster diving, called DIVE! I saw it on Netflix, it's pretty good. These people have freezers full of meat that was near expiration date, fridges full of fresh produce, pantries full of snacks and canned goods. I don't see anything wrong with it, just be smart and be safe.
