Congrats on the shout out in The Brooklyn Papers!
Having once lived pretty heartily off dumpster diving (what comes from attending a hippie college in the PNW), I second the testimony of your freegan sources – it’s pretty much expired canned goods and what not. Though we did hit a big chain store a few hours after a regional power outage once, and it was a dairy jackpot, along with a bunch of vaccuum sealed chinese pork that came with its own little packets of ultra-hot mustard sauce. We ate well.
