we don't have a food crisis we have a waste crisis.
Brilliant Comment!
This all could have gone to a soup kitchen and been used ... wasteful wasteful wasteful
YEEEEESSSSS #SOSAD
Yes we do
amen
It hurts my heart when I think of the children that go to be hungry & all this is being thrown out. It's a damn shame!
Vanessa CW and that was one day at one store....🤔. 😔
It's not a shame, it's a out right sin in my opinion
@@bethcatt7919 then you should be against capitalism and fight for regulation
I totally agree
They should give that food to Walmart employees before throwing it in the dumpster.
A Merry Life, On A Budget employees ? You mean the local homeless
THat's an excellent idea! Offer it to the WAlmart employees!
Are you sure its safe to eat?
@@marlenejones6266 Of course it's safe. Grow Up.
@@christopherkilian8826 i agree give it to the people who work there. They deserve it
That makes me sick. America is so wasteful! People go to sleep hungry every day.
@@ashleydunn1981 please see if there is a social services agency near by to see if you can get food stamps for family. If you don't qualify for that, you being pregnant could qualify for the federal wic (women,infants and children under5)program. No hurt in trying. ☺
@@ashleydunn1981 call and see where you food pantry is. Most churches have them
@Hunny Bun, I think that you can't talk about hunger and reason with the fed-do-well ignoramuses out there.
So many hungry children too
Absolutely disgusting and wasteful.
Proud to say that the WM in my area donates its close-to-expiration foods to our local food bank, 3 times a week! All are welcome to share; you just have to stand in line and bring your own bags. ❤
That is true I am sure but they still waste lots of food and non perishable items. Sometimes due to health and safety codes and others times due to lazy employees. It's extra work to donate and much easier to throw away.
Walmart is such a horrible company. They should give that food to their workers and a food pantry.
yes exactly 👏👏 👏
pfff... they dont deserve shit. cant even do their jobs right
IT'S NOT WALMART! It is the government representatives YOU ELECTED! There are strict rules on thawed foods that MANDATE that any freezer compartment that came up to room temperature has ALL the contents thrown away. This is a FDA law, not Walmart.
All our local Walmarts do donate Although 9/10 they benefit more from disposing product because they get credit . You wont gwt that credit if you donate everything.
As far as feeding the employees, huh I ponder that thought myself.
It's not Wal-Mart, it's the laws. The same thing goes in food service as well. I used to work for an Italian fast food place, and any pizza that was in the hot box for longer than 20 minutes had to be tossed. Perfectly good pizzas. Sometimes they'd let employees take them home, but that would only be if the franchise owners were not there. The managers would sometimes skirt the rules, but it was only employees. When I asked why we don't just donate all these wasted pizzas to local shelters it was explained that it can't be done due to food safety regulations. Even if the food is fine, there are guidelines that have to be followed when it comes to food and how long it can be on a shelf and sold or even given away. So, it's a good thing there are Freegans out there. They're a big solution to an even bigger problem. Of course they can't be expected to take all of it, but they definitely prevent a lot more waste than there would be.
Wal mart should give to homeless shelters.
It would be nice but since everybody is so damn sue happy, there is too much of a liability. It's a damn shame. Smh
black snow
Liability issue.
They actually do donate to food pantries. When the items on sale in the food departments don't sell by 8pm the day before expiration they freeze them and give them to pantries. Of course they rip all the labels off that have to do with Walmart ...The food that makes it to the trash is if there's a recall or the company says to toss them or it's the day of expiration and they toss them that night because the department manager/supervisor forgot to do the donations to pantries for that day so then good food makes it to the trash..
Nurse Bennie you are so correct, because I opened up a homeless type of shelter. I bought an old church got several donations from Salvation Army but don’t know the Union Mission that thousands of people donate to wanted to charge me a lot of money!!!!!! And I asked Walmart, Krogers, Save A lot etc for their food and they stated they could not do because they would be a liability! I could not believe they did for lots of organizations but stated they could not anymore 😞
@@nursebennie3256 There is a federal law that protects all corporations or individuals from being sued when donating food. They use it as an excuse, but you CAN NOT be sued if someone gets sick from food you donated.
Its a federal law and covers all states.
That pisses me off... all of the hungry people in the cities and the stores throw these away?!
For God sakes, donate them to shelters! Smdh....
There are a lot of people going to shelters,because they have nothing to get by,and then you find out that Walmart throws it away.
They dont donate because if someone gets sick they become liable. Our sue happy country. Its so sad because look at the food wasted.
WOW, that is an epic dumpster diving treasure hunt!!!!!
Thanks for taking us along!!!!
i dont know which walmart you are at, but that does not happen at the Walmart I work at. I work in grocery reclamations. I am the person that gets rid of all the expired, damaged, and recalled stuff. I throw away as little as possible. My Walmart donates on an average of 17000 lbs of food a month to a local food pantry and soup kitchen. I donate all of bakery, deli, meat, produce and dry grocery that meets the donation criteria. The rest goes into our compostable bins which are picked up by a third party. The only thing I would throw away like what is seen in this video is something on recall where the recall instructions direct me to throw the product away. I agree that is a horrendous waste of food.
Where are you from? I Hope more follow your lead....not this. Hope these people shared some of this find.
I worked in reclamations also you can't get to the dumpster. And we did donate to Harvesters
That's what they do here also
Funny. Where i work at, they throw all that food away. donate? they laugh at it.
My hat goes off to you pokey Joe! I wish more places were like yours!
So sad !!! so many people are hungry!!!!! So instead of giving all the food to the homeless and the hungry Wally world throws good food away!!!! Shame!!!!!!!
And the consumer pays for their waste.
Give to food bank
While at the same time paying $0 in taxes. Thats the american way!
This is to some of the comments that were made out there I don't remember who said what but yes they should donate more food to food banks but I think by law are not allowed to donate certain things or not to give certain things away because they think someone's going to sue them.?? I don't think the consumer pays for the waist and it could be possible but the store get store credit back I believe that's how that works so the store doesn't really care.. most big stores and corporations could care less about the little person all they care about is that all Mighty Dollar how much sales they rang up course they all still have a lot in loss prevention to.. and this is for the people that think that this food is horrible to eat let me let you in on a little secret half the stuff that's in the store might not be that good for you either you don't know where it's been you don't know who's been handling it you don't know how many germs it's had on it so sometimes the stuff in the dumpster is probably better not always but it's still sitting in the store getting more contaminated people come in and cough put their germs on the the piece of fruit and do people really take their time to wash all their stuff off I wape off even my creamer bottles when I bring food home it does not go inside my refrigerator until it is washed & wiped down..
Yes ... We live on the world of sue me.. Throw it away
These people are GENIUSES!!! Saving the world AND getting free stuff. We love them!
TWO THUMBS UP TO YOU BOTH FOR CARING ENOUGH TO DONATE AND GET THE FOOD OUT OF THOSE DUMPSTERS YOUNG LADY AND GENTLEMEN !!! WAY TO GO !!
You guys scored big time!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I'm stunned and aggravated 😣 there's a salvation army and red cross in just about each city...WALMART could donate daily if not recalled ....ugh ! Thank God for you 2 ...saving the food and lessening landfills 👍
Hi ï it on
So happy for you for this amazing find, but this sort of stuff really makes me mad when I think of all the homeless or below poverty line people out there that could really use this food.
Exactly!
You are so right, we are a wasteful country,. shame on American company’s.
Walmart donates to the food bank on a daily basis from every store. Also It's dhec that makes them throw away anything that goes below a certain temperature. For this many cases something must have either gone wrong with the truck or one of the freezers.
It angers me too Majik...my sister and her husband have it hard right now and can barely keep groceries in the house (we help as much as we can) and these spoiled-ass kids of the original owner of Wal-Mart are not only raising the prices in their stores BUT are also tossing good food in a dumpster rather than donate. Spoiled ass brats!
😂 He polished off a role and 1/2 of cookies quick😂
Role?
roll. try using the browser first before typing.
@@blakelyndley7552 They presumably meant "row".
Lol y'all went grocery shopping....
I don’t even see markdown prices on most of that. That really angers me that grocery stores are throwing out so much food like that. Full cases of food are in the trash...smh!
Especially since there are so many going hungry.
Exactly , I guarantee you they put a 1 cent area everything would sell and they wouldn't have to dump it while feeding the poor
Good idea but the poor wudnt get to buy it....others that have money wud scoop it all up
Give to food bank
If foods are recalled, they have to be thrown out.
I can not believe that this is thrown away when there are so many homeless and hungry people.
Some of the supermarkets and places donate to churches and institutions
Nice to meet you👋👋👋so how are you doing over there I hope you are doing fine?🌹🌹🌹
What an amazing haul! If the items are recalled or expired, you won’t be able to donate them, so how are you able to store all this stuff? You’d need an industrial sized refrigerator/freezer! 😱😱😱
Make CHEESE QUICK.....
It really saddens me that Wal Mart would rather throw away food then to donate to the food bank , really sad😩😩 at least you guys saved it 👍 how much food is thrown away every day 😨
mary al
The food banks are very picky about what’s donated to them and you might see the food you donated to them in their dumpster the next day.
It is not just Walmart. All grocery stores do that.A lot of them compact trash to prevent dumpster diving.
I just have to say, how y’all know that the items didn’t go above temperature and Walmart is “required” to dispose of those items due to contamination probability? It is no longer safe for consumption or donation.
@@blackworldtraveler3711 Walmart donates to lots of pantries but they usually only want bread ,canned goods and bakery goods
I would not want anything that was in a freezer section found in a dumpster. How do you know it's any good?
Sadly if the greedy Walmart clan wasn't so blind with greed they could have fed the homeless in the community s they have helped ruin .
They do. They donate to Feeding America.
Darrell I agree....
I’m not sure if the situation varies by location but in my area Walmart donates unused food.
If donated to a food bank it's a tax write-off for them.
For some reason, you going through this stuff that would have been otherwise wasted makes me happy
OMG! You are kidding me! I had no idea this amount of food that Walmart throws away! I need to go to my local Walmart and shop in the dumpster!!!!!
Me 2 im hungry no food
Same
I’m going tomorrow
Mine has compactor & no dumpster :(
You scared frugal daddy "theres a man!! "! 😂 wow what a haul! Makes me so sad when stores toss out whole cases of things when so many people could really use that food, but glad you rescued some!! 😊
I know! He's the man I was talking about! The waste is ridiculous!
Hehe I was thinking that too... I love this couple
Its unbelievable whats thrown away instead of being donated
Holly N why did they throw all that food away.why not give it to food pantries
@@FrugalMomHolly really c'mon this is fake....only product you see is cupcakes.... c'mon they never never say the store locations....
I’m really surprised you didn’t get caught in the Wally world dumpster. They have such good security, they would love to catch DD
Be careful
Would they arrest?
Security? I heard they usually don't put cameras up unless the employees start talking about going union. But that was many years ago before cameras got cheaper.
I hope you have several freezers ! Wow I hope it's cold where you are ! Awesome haul I'm amazed !
I'm going dumpster diving during the winter. Food will be much safer to take home or donate.
yup, for frozen goods it's ideal to be grabbing them around winter time. summertime around, dry goodies then. a lot of people here pointing out their concern about this couple going for those frozen goodies, they're wearing jackets so looks like it's cold enough outside. been through summers where i've had these groceries sit in as long as 2 hour traffic in the middle of some of the hottest day of the year and refreeze them once i get back and they'd still be okay.
May I know why issit safer during winter time???
colder weather
I would worry about getting food poisoning if it thawed out. But then again I've had stuff get thawed out in the summer and refroze it and it was ok.
I'm doing this as well
I worked at Walmart for 13 years in receiving. If there is whole cases in dumpster it more than likely was a recall. Be careful there could anything from salmonella to metal or plastic in side.
Agreed. Plus, the meat rots quickly being in the warmth for who knows how long.
Agree plus all the frozen items that were sitting outside. In probably too warm of temps. in the elements. I'd be leary.
Great haul guys! The only thing I would say is check each item for company recalls.....around here the frozen corn and cauliflower had listeria. Thanks for sharing!
So true...Jimmy dean is also on recall
I'm going to Walmart's dumpster!!!
Go to Walmart dumpster and your ass go to jail.... don't do it... these people posted the video but never never say the Walmart store location never....
@@darrellm.9622 don't go digging in any dumpster
don't do it .your not white .in your case it wouldn't be called dumpster diving .they would just call it theft!
Good luck !!
@@rickychrist4523 😂😂😂😂😂 dumpster diving while black
OMG what are Walmart thinking throwing out perfectly good food. Haven't they heard of charity or our homeless community. So happy you got a share of it all. Hope you enjoyed it all. Bless you and stay frugal 🛒🛍️🛒🛍️
truly sad the homeless shelters could use it
I used to work at a chain bakery which shall remain nameless...but the level of daily waste was astonishing. If by chance the charitable organizations didn't show up to pick up the leftovers (happened at least once a week), everything was thrown away. Employees were not allowed to take more than a small bag's worth. It was shocking. I quit after I was reprimanded for eating out of the trash while washing dishes. People are so impractical and silly at times. Shameful
Federal and state laws don’t allow it
@@jeffpowell476 not true, bro. In fact laws have been put in place specifically to protect businesses which choose to donate.
I think this is a waste that they throw this stuff away but unless it's freezing where you are at,it makes me a little nervous to be eating food that has been thawed out for awhile and not refrigerated.
It was really cold when we got this stuff, but not freezing. So far everything we have tried has been ok. I just keep reminding myself of all of the preservatives they put in this processed food. But you can also kind of tell by smelling stuff if it has gone off.
It's toaster strudels. It ain't raw meat
@@microbios8586 - I think sausage is considered meat.
Even though they may be required to throw out frozen food it just seems like in a lot of cases not every case, but a lot of cases after you bring it home and you try it the food probably be pretty good! Nevertheless, dumpster diver or buyer beware!
@@virginiamoss7045 that's kinda stretching the definition of 'meat' though
Good for you guys! I just started dumpster diving and it's the best decision I've ever made! What could be better than eliminating waste and eating for free?
What do you dumpster dive because I'm scared of getting sick
Interesting to see a video on how they do this without getting sick... I would definitely also be worried about getting sick, because of food is in the trash at a major retailer like Walmart often it is something that was recalled... Seems a little risky especially if it was meant to be Frozen and sat out for a long time or if it was just exposed to the elements for more than one hour, bacteria can build up very quickly especially if it's a hot day.
I've never seen a Walmart with an actual dumpster, I will have to keep an eye out and start checking more! Great haul and happy thanksgiving
Dumpster Cam same here!
The one I used to go to was not in the back but next to the street. There were all kinds of goodies. I think the dumpsters in the back are completely inaccessible. Aldi is very accessible in comparison. In fact, Aldi is the holy grail of grocery dumpster diving in my experience.
@@microbios8586 I certainly don't mind getting a little dirty and greasy in order to get some good commodities or even better stuff!!
@@microbios8586 our aldi has their dumpster inside the loading dock, there it is considered tresspass, only employees and delivery personnel
Exactly we have compactors

Nice to meet you👋👋👋so how are you doing over there I hope you are doing fine?🌹🌹🌹
Can you imagine how many animals had to die just to be thrown away. That makes me sick!!!
EXACTLY!!!
Very saddening.
Jesse MaDRID oh dear . I don't want to even think !!
They died for nothing ...☹️
More to the point, look at all the hungry homeless people, that are living.around the corner. Put the food into the oven n share it out. Yes,it would mean giving employee/s a bit of overtime, but ye all would be rewarded In the end.PLEASE, anyone who can help the homeless in any way. PLEASE DO. X
@Your safe space or mine? thats what im still trying to figure out. Why did animals have to die again?
I 've seen some of the items that bear expiration dates towards the end of Jan 2019 so with that being said Bless you. Your video shows that so much waste is being discarded and that the struggling families out there so try this at least once. Believe you if I had to feed my child and had nothing or no one to turn to....I'm diving in a Grocery store's dumpster to feed them. No shame. GOD Bless
Here in phoenix az they lock them to make sure people can't get the food it really sad because they should give the food to food banks for the homeless
All of that food could have went to Local shelters or Local Food Pantry.
Ms. Ashe So you think giving homeless people expired rotten food is okay?
@@jennystiller4146 that's not rotten
@@jennystiller4146 and Idk if you've been to a food bank to help Your own family out before but this food here would be twice as nice to get then 2 Year canned expired beef stew that I've received myself from a food bank.. It's my own opinion so!
Most food given away to shelters or at food banks are probably like the day of expired or even a week or two past it's sell date on packages. Most shelters or food banks CAN say NO but they take it anyways. Theirs always someone out their willing to take it, it's the same thing at actual Fruit and Produce centers. Fruits/vegetables that have been dropped on the floor or have been poked with holes are sold at a discount because theirs people willing to pay a lower price for a damaged but still good item. It's a cycle that's been going on for ages.
@@MsAshe-rw3do ccr
C vvt not. Gee zee c cree my not not 4
I’ve been watching all of your videos and thought “we should do this!”, but of course we live in Texas and they have a law saying that if something is in a business dumpster, it still belongs to the business until the trash company picks it up. 😕 Hubby is a 100% disabled veteran and I have seizures due to an inoperable brain bleed, plus our 26 year old daughter passed away and we are raising her son who is 8 years old, AND we have our 17 year old grandson AND our 21 year old son and his fiancé all living with us. This would have helped us out SO MUCH! We barely squeak by each month with bills and food. I wish it wasn’t illegal here.
Holy cow you have a lot going on!! Are there and supports in place or community services you can make use of? Food banks? SNAP?
Becky Ayers I live in Texas. Is it a state law? Or is it something that is written on the store dumpster? Check into the Salvation Army, church food pantries, and other charities. Definitely try to get help through the government such as food stamps, etc. I would think having a child to raise and in your circumstances, you would be eligible for assistance. I will be praying for you.
Sorry, I live in Dallas and I don't believe that there is such a law as you say. And if there is nobody is paying attention to it as I have dumpster dived for 7 years and I've never had a problem with the police at all.
Sorry to hear about that law. Seems like those in need should be able to easily access these
resources. Hope your situation improves. 🍀
Sounds like somebody's not doing there fare share,I'd guess the 17 yr. Old , the 21 yr. Old ,and the fiancee, time to shape up or ship out.
Lmao ..oh my god there's a man..that cracked me up 😂😂
i am so shocked at how much food walmart and other grocery stores throw away. why???? i am glad you guys saved some of the food
That's it I'm going to Walmart lol

Awesome!
Glad to hear xo love you guys thought you are Awsome people
Excellent! Congratulations! We hope you enjoy it for quite a while and invite your neighbors!
@@freakinfrugal5268 do you accept fan mail
Several years ago at an Aldi store in Dallas I got 40 spiral cut hams over a five month period out of their dumpster. I got them as they came right out of the Aldi freezer so they were still frozen and it was also during cold weather. I took them home and stuck them in the freezer. Gave to neighbors and friends and nobody got sick. They all loved 'em. WHY would any store do this? Totally insane and Aldi is INSANE in regard to wasting edible food.
And at another store I actually got 3,000 full-size Baby Ruth candy bars that were in sealed cases sitting right by the dumpster ready to be dumped the following day because they were 2 weeks expired. I donated 2,000 to a local food bank and gave the other 1,000 directly to homeless people in Dallas, Yes, I have pictures to prove it! No bullshit. What kind of fool company would throw out 3,000 Baby Ruth candy bars? A fool company or sure.
This broke my heart. So many people in our country are starving & these places are wasting food. Like someone mentioned here, animals that died for nothing, to be thrown in the trash. I'm glad you all got it & are okay too.
I cannot believe all the waste from the big box stores. The shelves inside are empty because it's all in the dumpsters. Good for you for saving as much and donating what you do. Shame on the big box stores for wasting it. But thank you for what you do. 💕 Happy Turkey enjoy your family stay frugal and I'll stay out of jail. ❤️
I wish we had such dumpsters in Russia. They sell expired products here. Zero waste.
Well the zero waste is good. Where in Russia are you? My daughter just returned from Moscow.
@@freakinfrugal5268 I'm from Moscow.
"Zero waste" was more like a sarcasm. There are tons of expired products in all shops. And they sell those expired products to people.

Expired doesn't mean poisonous.
Omg!!!! Amy you hit the motherload! Congratulations! Here in n.c. the Wal-Mart dumpsters are compactor so no goodies here... I would have had a fit finding all that! Breakfast for everyone! Have a wonderful thanksgiving my friend! Hugs to the twins!!!🦃🍁

Great job Frugal Daddy and Frugal mama. Love watching 👀these older videos. 😍
I saw a commercial today and it said by 2050 they are going to have to double the size of the food because it will be a much bigger population and my son and I looked at each other and said no you can feed the world out of your dumpster
Do a little research on the grand solar minimum we're going into & the escalating number of crop losses we're already seeing.
There won't be ANY food production at all well before 2050.
Walmart should be fined
@@WckdLlThngz Walmart can certainly afford it!

Yep. Global warming is a HUGE load of crap. That little bit of disclosure about dimming the sun is too. They've been doing it for years with chemtrails & it's not working.

Awesome haul. One question though how big is your freezer???? That is a lot of food!!!
Cookies ate. Ha ha ha. Well, don't scold him. He was just hungry)))). Here is this dabycha. Bravo.
What!!! This makes me want to take up this hobby!!! How amazing and what one Earth do they throw it away for, they Could feed shelters and needy families!? I'm in ahhwww just speachless.
Was this stuff still frozen? If not, food poisoning??
Yes and no. I wouldn't trust the deli meat, cheeses and especially cream cheese. Maybe not the cupcakes. Not the banana pudding. But honestly, people have to do what they have to do. I really can't criticize. I didn't have any food as a child so the kids would donate thier leftovers to me during lunch, when I was in elementary school and lunch was a lunch.
A lot of these foods are pre-cooked, also they're in coats and they probably just threw them out recently, if they know what days they toss them they could have been still frozen
There is nothing wrong with any of that stuff.
Full of chemical preservatives and factory processed.
Not health food, but it's free and taking what would be put in a landfill anyway.
Most large stores have security cameras and locked dumpster areas, so just be prepared to meet security or the cops.
I know. I've had food poisoning twice and I never want to go thru that again! not a dumpster snob AT ALL, but just wary of trusting the food. and yes, these big stores should donate to shelters, etc.
@@elizabethlacey6230 I think people dumpster dive now because "frugal" is in. While I feel stores should donate this to shelters and food banks, these places have rules about out of date/near date donations. Our food pantry only takes non perishables. The stores can't sell this because if someone gets sick, they get sued. These stores have regulations they have to abide by. And in my area, dumpsters are private property and divers can be arrested. What if someone gets hurt diving thru the dumpster? There's glass and everything else in there too.
"are u trying to hide that u ate a whole row ?" 😂😂😂
Even tho it’s a shame stores do not donate to shelters, and waste tons of food, Recently frozen food gotten out of the dumpster? Especially sausage? They couldn’t have still been frozen! 🤔🤢
Rosa King
Liability issue.
It's probably very cold outside. Where I am everything stays frozen right now because the temperature is well below freezing.
With the amount of preservatives they put in the food these days, it could’ve thawed out for a week & be just fine dear.. lol
You should donate all this food to the less fortunate.
Our Walmart does now
My local kwik trip does. Some you cant donate as there's liabilities.
No you should not if the poor get sick then they can't afford to see a doctor for treatment you would be killing the poor. Use your brain.
Hi Frugals.Had to watch this again.Needed to have a good moment.❤️🙏👍👵
All that food is so expensive in the store. I started diving 15 years ago and due to disability can't anymore and I miss it so much! I now dive vicariously through your videos! Lol.....and I've got a HUGE crush on frugal daddy!.....lol.
Well if you two decide to run off together, it's ok. I shall not stand in the way of destiny.
🤣
Most of the food you got is supposed to be frozen. You can't just refreeze, who knows how long it was out there
Also the dog food was recalled.
Im sure they wouldnt take it if it was hot. Its also processed food...of course you can refreeze it.
sorry to break it to you darling, but supermarkets refreeze all of it on daily basis, they shut all the power and dont care if rats are coming, i've seen it so many times, i've buying only from locals lately
I'm with you, Amy! I think this is appalling! No doubt that it's heartbreaking to see all of this waste and I fully agree that it should be donated by the store to shelters and/or employees BEFORE going on the dumpster!!!!!! I just could not eat or feed my family for pulled out of a filthy dumpster that likely is encrusted with animal feces/urine, mold and mildew, toxins from non-edible items, etc.
Heidi Cowles I’m with you! Very dangerous to eat any cold food in dumpster that is now warm or not in correct temperature I wouldn’t risk it! But some ppl don’t care!
Happy Mother's Day Amy!
Where I live the requirement is if a stores freezer goes down they have three hours to move it to another freezer. That time includes getting it to a Foodbank freezer. Most stores wait two hours hoping the power comes back on, technician shows up to repair, etc.. before trying to figure out plan B. They don’t usually call a Foodbank to pickup because there wouldn’t be enough time left. My guess is that all the food you found in the dumpster was from a down freezer.
Walmart has generators for their lights and freezers.
I've seen a couple of news stories of Wal-Mart dumpsters and what you found is just the tip of the iceberg. So sad the waste. Great haul and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I have a friend who dives at Walmart regularly and he gets tons and tons all the time.
@@freakinfrugal5268 I can imagine. Hope you are having a nice Thanksgiving. I am currently in a food come. Lol
I love your way of living.practical and you both suppport each other
thank you
I work for walmart..be careful we throw alot of that away because it may have sat out for more than 15minutes, its outdated, or recalled, at our walmart we aldo donate to feed America
None of it was outdated or recalled. So it must have sat out. That might make it not sellable by the store, but it doesn't mean the food has gone bad yet.
@@freakinfrugal5268 yes you are right about that
@@freakinfrugal5268 so very very true!
@Georgia Amanatides you saying they made this up for views? Put all that in the dumpster themselves? Doubt it but wouldn't put it past anyone
@Georgia Amanatides and yes I know...that's not what you were getting at. But just throwing it out there 😉
I can’t believe you were there long enough to load your entire car. If I pull around back to get an empty box security is there within 30 seconds.
The dumpster goddesses smile upon us.
@@freakinfrugal5268 my niece would get upset by seeing those toaster strudels in the dumpster she loves them
Wow!!!! The car was packed with Awesome Finds!!!! #LoveYourFreakinFrugalFamily #KeepOnDiving
Alot of that is freezer food that has been out there no telling how long
When you're hungry with no food. You will dumpster dive
That's the thing that would make me nervous. I'd be afraid my stomach would be messed up but maybe they know what days they throw things out there
@jerrilea adams why hadn't I thought of that?? My son has one of those and drives me nuts with it! Great idea!
It's winter where they are. And like MY area....below freezing.
I think your both HILLARIOUS! Let Frugal Daddy eat what he likes.... I had an ex husband just like him.... Lol.... Your personality makes this channel..... I roll laughing.... Bless You 😇
Agreed!! Lol
This is really unbelievable my friend. TFS. Stay connected 😊
How do you know if the refrigerator stuff is ok? I mean why did Walmart throw it out?
Don't know until you look at it, smell it, and try it. Wwell if it looks and smells bad, you do not try it. We have never ever gotten sick from dumpster food.
@@freakinfrugal5268 I agree, we keep getting told "this is bad" yet what we get food poisoning from is the "fresh meat", "fresh vegetables", "fresh fruits" and "fresh eggs". I've been know to eat "dangerous defrosted" stuff and here I am.
I thought so too. All this frozen stuff, looks like a freezer broke down at Walmart.
A friend was a manager at Walmart, she said sometimes the supplier would deliver another load before the previous delivery was sold. They would throw out the fresh stuff 'cause it was easier than rotating stock. Nothing wrong with the product. Staff forbidden to take it home. I don't know why. Terrible waste.
They get knocked off by the insurance company
How many people could have been feed with this food at a pantry! Why did Walmart not donate.
The guilty look on his face after having all those cookies....lol!
I love it&you keep up tjr great work momma!
Thanks!
I wont name where I work, but it's disgusting how much food we throw away to keep our "reputation". Like bakery goods that cooked 1 minute too long and are more brown than should be. Its sickening.
On another note, I've heard that businesses would rather throw food away than donate it because if the food is not 100% perfect, then they are opening themselves up to lawsuits if someone were to claim they got sick. Does anyone know if this is true?
That's what I was told when working at Walmart
I saw them throw out a brand new bicycle because it was returned.. the kid that got it, didn't like the color..
J Pet it does suck that one has to throw away so much food. You have only seen a fraction of what gets thrown out. And to answer your question. Yes its best to just throw it out because welcome to America home of the ill sue you for anything. I live in Las Vegas and work in the fast food industry and know people who work at casinos at banquets and tons of food it thrown out. Reason why is because if someone claims to get sick its a lawsuit and so many people out there looking for that easy money. It sucks because so much of that food could easily feed people in need. Before people started to sue they would give out that food to shelters and other places now it just all goes in the dumpster. So sad to see but it happens.
I do believe that is true.
It's not only food things sit around they loose value I worked for home Depot scanned in a pallet of chain saws came up 0 and they also go into the trash , grills don't matter
I work and go to college and barely make ends meet and to see all these companies throwing so much away that people like me could use upsets me
It should upset you. It every store every day.
If you have regular access to this thing you should definitely host a drive or do a holiday giveaway 👌 🌲
Awesome haul..saddly our Wal-Mart smashes everything..
wow.what a major great haul.
Hi I'm from Australia dumpster diving is new to me why do they do this such such waste don't you guys have soup kitchens over there for the needy or homeless I'm glad you got all the stuff you got love your channel thanks for sharing x
Yup, soup kitchens and food banks. I don't know why some stores choose to throw away all of that. i think that Trader Joe's donates.
Are you ever scared of getting caught? Would you get arrested?
Yum, seedless blackberry jam is good stuff.
Definitely!
Walmart should be ashamed!!!
Hometown Girl
No reason to be.
I don’t want to be sued either.
Hometown Girl...Yes they should be and a billion dollar company. The rich don't care at all for the poor
Wow!!! Brookshires Grocery have an incinerator to burn expired meat ...The near expire meat they have a big Barbecue for staff .. The bakery stuff is open bread is Split open ....
I wouldn't eat the thawed frozen food...
There should be a group on facebook where a walmart employee makes a fake account and lets you know "hey we dumping today" and that way we can go pick this stuff up fresh and frozen because who knows how long that stuff has been sitting there. Especially the meat.
Yeah I looked in a dumpster once and it looked like someone lived there. It's all I found. I'm glad I have a Grocery Outlet.
Lol I don’t know if that was a good thing or a bad thing but I can tell you what everybody watching his videos going to be living in the dumpster on the back of Walmart👍
It should be given to the homeless however in this country and because of lawyers the risk to give them to homeless people and them getting sick is to great for any company this is flawed thinking but what the lawyers have made happen if people really want to stop wasted food call your local congressman try to get laws changed
Some more BS. There are federal and state laws that protect grocery stores from any kind of liability if they donate, not sell, reasonably wholesome food to 501 non-profits and churches. The federal law is called the Emerson Good Samaritan Law and it's been around since the mid-80's yet ignorant store managers know nothing about this law.Or. more likely they don't want to know as its easier to simply throw good food into the dumpster rather than working with a non-profit to pick it up on a daily basis. Lazy, lazy sickass stores that can't even get thrown out food to people in need.
On October 1, 1996, President Clinton signed this act to encourage donation of food and grocery products to non-profit organizations for distribution to individuals in need. This law:
Protects you from liability when you donate to a non-profit organization;
Protects you from civil and criminal liability should the product donated in good faith later cause harm to the recipient;
Standardizes donor liability exposure. You or your legal counsel do not need to investigate liability laws in 50 states; and
Sets a floor of "gross negligence" or intentional misconduct for persons who donate grocery products. According to the new law, gross negligence is defined as "voluntary and conscious conduct by a person with knowledge (at the time of conduct) that the conductis likely to be harmful to the health or well-being of another person."
The law changed many years ago. People just dont know it and chose to believe big corporations bullshit. Its cheaper for them to throw it away ....so thats what they do and they lie about why.
I love Walmart. I like dumpster diving free boxs. I'm redoing video you tonight.
It's a shame to see all the bananas and other fruits and Vegs that the grocery store throws out....nice haul...btw...
I have to check out the dumpsters at my walmart
Hi Amy it's good to see U out there with your Dwayne dumpster diving awesome score
If It's Still Good. Take It. People Are Wasteful. Walmart Should Give It To People That Can Use It.
