Depends on how he's calculating his savings.

textcritic said he's dumpster diving at a whole foods. Have you guys ever shopped at that ####ing place? It's like $6 for an apple.

If he's basing his savings on how much it would have cost him to actually shop there for the exact (non-dumpster) versions of the food he's getting for free, then maybe it is $8k.

Plus, if he's getting free food maybe he's eating more than he would if he was paying for it. And if he's basing the savings purely on how much it would have cost if he'd bought an equivalent amount of food from the store, $8k could be realistic.

Well after that I certainly don't feel so bad buying the 50% discounted egg salad sandwiches from Community Natural Foods.

Those numbers just don't add up.


Yeah, he is feeding a family of four. And yes, he is from time to time pulling out packaged meats—sausages and such. And yes, the cost savings are based on exhorbitant prices set by organic grocers.

This was an interesting watch. I don't know if I'd do it, but there is some eye-opening waste out there.

You may get sharts instead of farts....a little touching of the cloth and a slight burning sensation of the hoop or rectal discomfort.
