AWESOME MASSIVE ALDI DUMPSTER DIVE & ASTOUNDING MEGA HAUL! PREPPING FOR DISASTER WHEN YOU'RE BROKE!

[@cecilyerker]

My last Aldi dumpster haul I got organic baby carrots, tons of garlic and roma tomatoes, and a box of generic lemon lime sodas and a case of watermelon La Croix sparkling water!!!! Also got a loaf of their dupe of Dave’s Awesome seed bread, and a box of clematis flower bulbs! I’m going to plant them somewhere where they can climb!

[@freakinfrugal5268]

That sounds excellent!!!

[@mimi0424]

what an awesome haul!!

[@natalialopes719]

That's amazing! I have 30 eggs!! 10 really beautiful lemons!! Time to make lemon curd..2 loaves of their organic seed read..lots of bananas..4 impatience plants that needed a good watering..a bad of beautiful oranges..carrots..and milk. Wow!!

[@erinerickson6690]

Aldi always has good stuff in their dumpster. I love hearing what other people find. Last week I found a birch tree sapling sitting outside the dumpster! I’m planning on planting it next week. I also found some petunias, 13 pounds of frozen ground turkey!! Some bagels, cauliflower, avocados, cake, onions.

Awesome haul

Frugal Daddy has been getting some great hauls lately it’s madness how much food is discarded 😩

[@sallyhildreth3663]

I have been doing great with the flowers again! 11 hanging baskets of Impatiens! They were very dry. But they are perking up. And I got my first cheesecake sampler! Lol It's smaller than the ones you all find. But I'm still excited!

[@danitawhite3676]

I don’t think anything make me laugh more then hearing Frugal Daddy in the dumpster and pick up a food and say “ that smells good! “ with all those other smells. 😂 . What wasn’t funny was hitting your funny bone. Ouch! I pray you guys find more and more “prepper” stuff. God bless.

The clear plastic looks great for seed starts. For the garden...just a thought

[@cyndimanka]

I thought similar to that

[@janetburke2739]

My thought as well.

[@charlenebrissette3348]

I agree with you about expiration dates. The other day I was watching a KZbin video and she was cleaning her pantry and she threw away a box of pasta, I was literally yelling at the computer. Some people are so clueless.

[@hoodedneko]

Pasta..oh my 🤦‍♀️ I'd yell as well.

[@andradavis7201]

oh yes i would yell at her......like noooooooooooooooooooo....................dont throw away pasta..........really

[@colleenkarayiannis8814]

I am careful with expiry dates on dairy products when shopping, but I don't throw things away very easily. I will smell and taste test.

[@jillbuesch8063]

I would yell to about the pasta.

[@terryhenderson424]

We often froze fruit during the heat of the harvest season then made jam et al in the cool of the fall. When freezer space has been at a premium and depending upon its final use, we've pureed the raw fruit in blender or food processor before freezing. Putting the baggies in a dish to make nice flat squares (rectangles) or circles (discs) allows for compact stacking. Or, make chubs in something like an old school margarine container then bag; I use glass Pyrex bowls then stuff chubs doen bread bags with 2 layers of waxed paper I between each chub. When you get volumes of fruits destined for smoothies, pureeing it before freezing would save freezer space.

[@gypsy4136]

My garden is planted, I can hunt and fish, forage the forest for food. I've, over the months, stocked up on essentials. I'm not worried about food shortages. My freezers still have veggies from last year. My brother in law raises cattle so meat is good. We filled gas containers before prices skyrocketed. I've got a box of MRE's gave to us, if needed but I highly doubt it. I'm planting a lot of sunflowers today. I was raised on a farm. Awesome haul Frugal Daddy!! Stay safe and lots of love ❤️

If you have a dehydrator a lot of the fruits and veggies could be dehydrated and put in canning jars or recycled glass jars and stored for long term pantry bell peppers, onions, potatoes and sweet potatoes. Anna In Ohio

[@karenemrick8677]

Sometimes it doesn't look like much in the dumpster then lo and behold you come out with a car load! Love it!

[@priscillabohn4621]

to your answer about preppers. I am a person who makes 600 a month hubby makes 1,000 I have to get extra can goods and other items to be able to eat before prices go up. Do I have a lot of money, no can I afford the meat now? no I am one of the few who are just trying to get a little extra of what I can. I used to dumpster dive until all the stores went and got those locked containers that crush everything. I guess it keeps the homeless away. Our home is paid off I will get my social security in July which will double my income and I grow a garden. we are blessed and happy and don't ask for anything from anyone.

[@stephaniknight5809]

So fm. If you have a dehydrator, use pintest to learn how to dehydrate some potatoes and carrots. If not. You can use your oven at a low tempeture. Then you can vacuum seal them all. You can put cereal and chips and stuff in a mason jar and vacuum seal it closed. It will keep it from going stale longer. I have done that and it last a year past its date without going stale

[@bellababooska4181]

[@ElsaInCa]

That was a lot of good food there (except for the American cheese slices; that’s just congealed Velveeta). 🤣 I have very little storage space, so can’t do much prepping, so if the Apocalypse comes, I’m screwed!

[@janetburke2739]

Elsa Cisneros: I live in a 2-bedroom condo and am also really cramped for storage. I don't even have enough room in my kitchen to store my larger soup pots and frying pans, and have to keep them on a baker's rack in my hall. Obviously there is no massive pantry with a year's supply of giant canisters of freeze-dried food, beef jerky, etc. But I do have stuff like canned goods and bottled water that I have put away in various places throughout my place along with ordinary staples like flour, sugar, and dried beans and grains that I have vacuum packed with my Foodsaver. It's all regular food we like to eat. We use up food and then replace it. Also keep extra paper supplies (toilet paper, Kleenex, etc.) I always keep spare food and supplies just in case of earthquakes (I'm in Southern California) or if there's another pandemic lockdown or serious problem. Most of my stored food is from Aldi and Walmart.

EXCELLENT JOB Frugal Daddy, I have been prepping for the last Two Years now, but I still need more water and paper products. I still have not been able to find anyone that will go with me dumpster driving. But I plan on it sometime this week. I have to drive someone to her Dr appointments so she can sit in the car with my little Toby so he won't bark. I hope I can do as well as you both do. God Bless and stay safe and HEALTHY.

What a haul! Sweet onions are great on sandwiches, especially hamburger..yum yum. My mother would cut a reasonably thick slice and put it on there along with frugal Daddy's cheese slices. Very tasty. She would also use them with braunsweiger ( I hope I spelled that right can't remember right now). In the peanut protein bars breakfast bars I love those they are good and it's a good idea to have that to fall back on. 👍❤️😀👋, I know lots of times you get a bunch of berries various assortments have you ever thought of making your own wine?

I was thinking that here when I go to restaurant n after eating n some food is left so we tell the waiter to pack it for us.is this also a norm in USA ?

[@debgordon6542]

Yes, typically. There are some that look down on ppl leaving with leftovers. Years ago it started out being called "doggie bags", imo that gave taking home food a bad stigma. (Eye rolls from the the staff and neighboring customers) More recently, it's become acceptable. I always leave with a "take home bag"!!

I’ve been prepping by going weekly to a food bank that loads up your trunk, you just drive through, and it’s all kinds of stuff. Most of the time it’s cases of things including fruit, milk, they’ve given me two hams three weeks in a row. Thank goodness that I’ve got my freezer stuffed full, and my pantry is full. I go now to give away food to others.

[@terryhenderson424]

If you don't have a food dehydrator - keep your eye open for a food dehydrator curb side or else. The late 1970's types work but the current dream machine is the 6 tray Excalibur and its temperature control with digital display. Even new, there are lesser costing and also different systems that would be worth saving for given that your dumpster dives often produce enough volume of the same product to fill a full dehydrator. At least for now, the trade off in electricity would still give you a savings over purchasing the produce you pull from the dumpster. Dehydrated foods take up less room than regular canned foods and aren't as dependent upon electricity as frozen foods.

[@cecilyerker]

Great tip, thank you! Can’t you make your own beef jerky in a dehydrator too?

[@terryhenderson424]

@@cecilyerker Yes both jerky and dried teriyaki. These were popular uses of dehydrator in the early-mid 1980's. My guess is you'll find reference to them in the Stocking it Up book, edition 1 or edition 2.

[@terryhenderson424]

@@cecilyerker What a lot of the prepper types are doing is buying the 12-16 ounce, bags of frozen diced and small sized veggies on sale, or today's prices, then dehydrating them for condensed storage. Of course veggies in a less dense (thick) size with more surface area dry out or dehydrate quicker than big and thick pieces. I'm hearing talk of having to blanch veggies before dehydrating them. This may be true for some but I've never blanched veggies before dehydrating them. This said I've only dehydrated thinly sliced carrots, diced onions, celery leaves and herbs, less watery tomatoes (it only took once for beef stakes to seek less watery tomatoes), chives and scallion/ bu ching onion leaves, and thinner slices of chopped celery. I did thin sliced potatoes once and decided that for the most part I could buy fresh with less work and effort. I haven't researched which or why one would want to blanch before dehydrating.

[@terryhenderson424]

If I only have semi-supicions about how long meat will freeze or, if I've been struggling with freezer rotation - I will cook the meat then freeze the cooked meat. Of course, well seasoned then cooked meat works best for eating later on.
