My local food bank can only provide 8 packages with referrals every time before you run out, and I have, but my situation hasn’t improved financially due to various set backs and I’m struggling to feed myself. I’ve heard that supermarkets throw out massive amounts, but have never been in a position where dumpster diving seemed feasible. People who do it, what time of day do you do it and how do you find good spots? UK resident for ref

    Never done it myself, but wouldn’t dive anywhere that serves cooked food, it can go off real quick (and they’re probably trashing the stuff that has already gone off) and could contaminate other stuff or get you sick. If you’re looking for help fuck managers; get to know the lowest rung, we’re usually spiteful to whatever hellhole we’re working at and will gladly give you stuff if we know how to get away with it.
