    I dumpster dive with some of my friends for a lot of this so called “expired” food. Since dumpstering my relationship and view towards food has changed a lot. So much food that we throw away is edible! Cheese that has mold...cut the mold off. Apples that have brown spots...cut them out.
    we also volunteer to pick up food at the grocer and then take it to the homeless shelter and some non profits here in Portland. the left over we get to keep!
    I hope and encourage all of you to treat your food differently. The throwing away of food is horrible, I do hope this changes...but for now your dumpster is my treasure chest.
    PS My grocery bill at worst was $400 a month, now maybe $200 but more like $100. Love you dumpsty!
