One year later....

still scavenging, but not as often. Opportunities drying up with open bins being replaced by enclosed compactors. Should be the other way around... still hit the occasional jackpot though. The best one is our local gas station convenience store, which evidently doesn't move groceries and food items as well as it may appear. They'll toss out huge garbage bags full of, for instance, boxed cereals, potato chips, bagged pecans, individual sized juices, sandwiches, breakfast muffins, etc. as soon as they hit the "expiration date"... meanwhile the local food shelf begs for donations...
