While I buy most of what I consume I also do the same.
I also find myself throwing food once it rots, because at times I buy too much due to crazy low prices.
In my case, I usually dumpster dive for another reason, to rescue drink packs which I get fiat for handing them for recycle.
Once in a while I find good food.
In your case, it seems particularly good.
Ban places which lock their dumped commodity.
This is quite an evil practice.
Not purely evil, but still evil.
At the same time, respect the places that do not do it, by buying in them once in a while.
If their prices and service justify it.

yeh I have also been recycling cans lately for fiat... here you get $0.15 for every can so pretty nice...some times I find a lot of them that the store thre away for some odd reason...or even better full cans of for example beer which ofc is a treat and then recycle for fiat!^^
Where I am, most bottles and cans are worth roughly 0.0857$ at current USD prices, which are fixed in the last year or so, like almost every other price.
There are a few bottles which are worth 4 times, which is around 0.34$, but they are much rarer and harder to find, and heavier to carry, although the biggest and heaviest bottles are worth as little as I stated before.
And then there are also bottles on which one gets nothing.
I found some full bottles of beer too.
I wish to sell them as beer is disgusting and bad for the health.

Good post.Quality food :)
Wow. You actually do dumpster dive?
That's pretty impressive.I hadn't any idea on what it was all about. I can't believe all that is wasted food.
I do indeed and been doing for 7-8 years by now!^^
Impossible to fathom how much is thrown without having seen it with your own eyes...
And to think there are so many starving homeless people out there. Life can be pretty unfair sometimes.
It's really humbling to see you doing this out of choice.
Wow..you are really kind person,you want to share free food to others,I am sure there are much happiness to all receiver.success for you
thank you, it's a blessing to give...makes everyone happy including me!;)
Oh my... these foods look like they're still in really good condition! But why do people throw them away?... 😢Great news the world has people like you @reko who "rescue" these foods...Even the term "rescue" shouldn't exist when it comes to food, but sad to know people put them to waste and make food need rescuing.
Anyway, thank you very much for sharing this @reko and continue doing awesome and valuable work! All the best! Cheers!
ty @everydayart! Yeh it's being done systematically by the stores and the employees have no choice but to throw it or lose their job unfortunately! :/
Yeah... that sucks. 😔 But all thanks to your efforts in giving these foods a chance to fill people's hungry stomachs. By the way, I just remembered I saw quite the same thing on Youtube, featured by Great Big Story. It is a "food rescue" where volunteers salvage unwanted (but still good) foods from supermarkets and harvest extra produce from fruit/veggie farms, and give them to people
HEy reko, every time I look at those pics I always silavate... yummy 😋 , can you send some to Nigeria 🇳🇬 heheheheh! Great pics... do have a nice day!
lol think it might spoil before arriving!:P
Every one of your stories makes me shake my head at the amount of waste and dross. I really admire your mission here Mate.
ty mike!^^
I see your posts like this periodically on my feed and every time all I can think is... seriously? That's how much good food people toss?
When my dad was still working, he worked for a national grocery store chain and we had a blackout that effected many states. I lived two hours north of him and was not effected by the blackout. WOrkers at the store were tossing all the perishable food away in the dumpsters in the back of the store. Once there it was free to all. My dad loaded up his full-sized van and brought me all the food. I was a divorced mom of three, had three freezers and two refrigerators- Believe me.. it was so appreciated and we had enough meats, dairy products and more that kept us fed for months.
I am just appalled at the waste.
yes it is awful to witness and what's makes it worse s that most stores have strict rules that their employees are not allowed to save anything that is thrown away...
Thanks for sharing sustainability
I like this food
nice idea :)
