I remember about 40 years ago we were awaiting our turn at the dumper at the back of the Albertsons (I think), and I was fifth or sixth in line, and it started raining. Pouring. Niagara Falls pouring. Our little group did not have cars. Not me at that time. Everybody left. I moved my pull cart over to that dumpster and went at it. Filled my cart (a big one, not small like the ones today...I could fit a banana box in the bottom!) like I was playing Tetris. Meat, potatoes, canned goods, etc., and the fried pork skins and chips. That is what reminded me of this day. Then the employee brought out a full box of bread. I mean, it had like 20 pullman loaves of white bread in it. I emptied a trash bag from the dumpster and used it to cover the bread cardboard box. After I filled my cart, I precariously balanced the box of bread on top of it, with plastic bags holding light items tied to the top of the cart and all along the openings clear to the bottom of the cart, my son carrying what he could, and walked the six blocks home. That cart must have weighted 150 pounds or more, but it held up like a pro. Sore for days. I miss those times. I think I was the original bag lady.
Thank you, Some believe that Dumpster diving is rather new, due the Popularity of Utube..No not so..We do what needs to be done out of necessity, not popularity....Climb, dig, rejoice..Keeps the Wolves off the doorstep & lil Tummies fulll....No Shame....❤🌹
Hallelujah
Your comment reminded me of my grandpa. He used to go out to the bakery and bring home loaves of bread and then go up by the meat store they would throw out the hills of the cheese in the end parts of the meat and this was about 20 years ago. They used to call my grandpa Charlie the Can man because he used to go up and down the alleys in the streets and collect aluminum cans he’s passed on a few years back I think that’s why I’m so frugal because of my grandpa. Blessings to you the original bag Lady.😇🥰
@@p.mckenzie2921 Bless you'r grandpa. He kept the family going and made do. And the food tasted better, too, I bet!
Sounds like a day to remember for sure !!
Ive had very little food dumpster diving experience because all of the dumpsters at food stores near where i live have store enclosed crushers. I have however furnished several nice homes over the last 50 years dumpster diving.
Amy I can’t believe there are folks that don’t understand prepping and why it’s SO necessary 🤦🏼♀️ Keep educating all the friends. Don’t waste money storing beans and rice if you don’t like that. Store what you like to eat. My 2 cents worth💜🌻🇺🇸
Store meat! Honestly store any high nutrient items. If you have the means, can your own meats in mason jars 🫙
Since childhood I have LOVED olives. Any kind of olives. I could eat an entire jar of olives all by myself. My kids and granddaughter are the same way too. All those jars is a huge score in my book.
My kin always said “ you ain’t sugar or salt, you ain’t gonna melt in a little rain” lol!
My mom also used to tell me I wouldn't melt.
I always heard s*** floats I ain’t gonna drown!🤭🤣🤷♀️🙋♀️🥴
I got the chance to do some night diving last night. I'm so glad I did.
The Aldi's dumpster had 4 raccoons trapped in it. It was pretty empty.
But there were enough boxes to stack up by the door for them to climb out on.
You are an angel!!
Fugule Daddy faired through the elements to forage for much needed supplies to help his family stay healthy and provide in what was needed to Sustaine their wellness and Happiness.... I just had to throw some dramatic wording due to the rain he was in...lol..!!
I've been raiding my prepper pantry because I can't afford enough groceries to make it to pay day most weeks and our dumpsters are empty 🥴 Great haul
Any local food pantries around to help??? Growing any veg or microgreens???
Rain,snow and the heat never stops Frugal Daddy. When it started to rain I was thinking well all you need now is some soap and you could have a shower Daddy. That was one haul I would call a box of chocolates as you never know what you will find in those dumpster.
FD: "I'm taking it all away."
Me: Yay! Not only did he get it all but did so against the elements. Good thing he enjoys nature! :-)
Way to go, Frugal Daddy, for persevering through that storm! You are a superstar!
Those plastic bowls would make great domes to put over food in or out the house! Maybe glue a knob or something to make a handle on top.
Holy birds of prey😱 Really great haul, score on all the pop tarts! LOL, he cracked me up with the "I got a free shower" 👍🤣 You two are so awesome! Have a great night! 🤗
Mom used to send soap with us when we wanted to play in the rain.
@@rachelwickart275 smart lady. Kids can get stinky, especially wet kiddos. 😂
@@Gardeningchristine LOL You are soooo right, Christine! 😄
Dedicated man! Loves what he’s doing! And we all love y’all!
Hi Frugal Family. I know what you mean about drought. I pray for rain for California every day. I remember not that long ago when every May there would be flooding from the snow melt runoff. We could surely use some of that storm you showed earlier in your video. Enjoy the fruits of your find.
I laughed out loud “I’m not picky with my FREE cleaner”
Make a pie crust out of the pop tart pastires, like a Graham crackers. Smash them up, add a little butter. Press them in the bottom of your pan. Make up some pudding , using 1/2 cup less of the called for milk. Put the pudding over the crust.
Maybe a little strawberries on top , or cherries... you get the picture....
Everyone will get jacked up on sugar !!!
This sounds delicious!
hug to you for daddy for Braven the rain. Hugs to you too Amy and the girls have a good week and thanks for sharing.🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰
I'm going back and rewatching some of your older videos. Frugal mommy you are so funny!
Wow! Another great haul FD Fm! Some really great products! Enjoy! ❤
True dedication!!!😆 And extreem frugal, taking a shower while dumpster diving😄💪💪💪👍
Thank you! Finally someone who says if we are in a situation to need the not so healthy stuff, we are not going to care about calories, we will be to busy surviving!
Absolutely! They always are saying to only prep what you will eat. Well I have a lot of things in my prepper pantry we do not normally eat but when you are hungry, you can not be picky! It's like people have never been hungry before, or gone camping! I've never gone hungry because of lack of food but have gone a day or two without food (self imposed or for colonoscopy prep) and it gets depressing very quickly and the dandelions in the yard start to look pretty tasty!
@@freakinfrugal5268 lol, I would not let my mom ( I take care of my 78 yr old mom) have my brother kill our dandelions! I told her we might need some salad one of these days!😂
If you smash those pork rinds up to crumbs you can coat your meat for a carb free crunch instead of using flour or cornmeal!
You don't have to worry about getting caught. Nobody will take out garbage in that. Good job stay safe and God Bless
This past Christmas I used the bowls to make a large light up ornaments. Hot glue the bowls together, melt a hole on top with hot glue gun, push battery powered mini lights ( from DT) then decorate it with ribbon , flowers ect 😊
CUTE!!!
Hello there! I love my Dollar tree. You can find some really good things in the dumpsters there.
Thank you for saving what you can!! It's so disheartening to see things like easily recyclable cardboard going to the landfill when we are amidst a nation-wide shortage 😩
When i see the rectangular boxes with cut-off corners originally used as a base for cases of product, I keep seeing pet beds for small dogs and cats. Strip off the plastic, give the boxes 1 or 2 coats of interior house paint on all edges, add a custom sized pillow, and maybe glue some graphic or clip art dowloaded from the internet on the outside edges.
Wow! Nothing will stop FD from dumpster diving, snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night! You go FD, great haul.
The shelves are empty of some stuff in the stores already. I haven't been able to buy wallmart low price oatmeal in weeks. The price on Quaker oats cost almost $6 now.
the pop tarts will last longer cause of being in mylar -that is a steal.... Nice haul with the solar lights and love the humor
Happy Wednesday 😊 and Awesome The Dollar tree haul. Yes plastic bowl for Salad. Yes have Emergency foods. We love your video and Bird on the Dumpter. Very scary. L.o.l and Have a Amazing Night...
Always fun with you two. Love you! 👍👍💜💜💜💜
I love hearing those birds, Hello Frugal Daddy and Mommy too from Rochester New York
Frugal Daddy...what fortitude!!...what dedication!!! Just like the postmen...neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet or darkness....
Great haul FD 🌧️🌧️🌧️
🎵🎶 Always look on the bright side of life 🎵🎶
That's what I was going for - I screwed myself up with "sunny." As soon as I hear "bright" I remember the whole thing, whistling and .
That was amazing fd you are the dumpster king in the rain 🌧 Amy you crack me up 🤣❤️🇨🇦😜
Great haul the red and yellow and clear jug you found is a hummingbird feeder make sugar water and hang it in a tree. Love all the green olives. Just remember to pull the tab out of the solar lights it should be on the bottom of the lamp they are great. 😍
Another great haul. I’m so proud you are getting stuff to help you out. I only wish I had that kind of help.
Those clear bowls are AWESOME for gardening as a makeshift "cloche" to protect seedlings during cool weather. A lot of people use them on top of 5 gallon buckets for "no transplant winter sowing" (a super easy method of seed starting that's mega beginner-friendly)
Thanks for the tips!
I love you all your show ! Its fun to watch.when I'm depress . Thank you L.T.
I felt so bad for frugal Daddy getting caught in the downpour that was so cool I heard the thunder I love listening thunder happy Thursday have a wonderful day love from Canada as always ♥️♥️🙏🙏👍👍❤️❤️🙂🙂🙂🇨🇦
I grew up in State of New York.where New York will get ice storms. My dad would have back room full of Emergency food to have. When the ice storm hit where we live it know out the powder for 3 weeks and can't drive on the roads because of the ice. My dad had 3 full time jobs. One job is working for the highway department for the town we live in. Number two job is a full time volunteer fire chief for the town too and number 3 job is a teacher for us kids and on top of being a full time father.
He sounds like a great guy!
It's a pleasure watching the pair of you together you make great videos and certainly save a great amount in food cost as well as helping friends and
I think you are a fantastic couple and here's to many more dumpster diving years ahead
Hi Amy and Frugal Daddy Wow what a great haul today ☺️ So glad you are getting so much stuff for you incase we do have a food shortage. Take care 🙂 💕 Blessings your friend Joyce from California.
Praying for rain for you!
@@freakinfrugal5268 Thanks that's very thoughtful of you. We need it Blessings!!!!❤
Amy, I have discovered a great channel called Home is where our heart is, they tell you how to forage for stuff to eat, using plants growing around you. Just started watching, and thought of you straight away! xx
I will check it out!
I love watching you guys 🥰
-from philippines
🤩! God is awesome! I just went diving in 100. Heat with heat advisory! Nothing but 😓. Happy for y’all. Keep up the awesome 😎 finds.
What did you find??
Absolutely awesome haul 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing haul
The pork rind are delicious in pinto beans and sausage onion all cooked together that is how we eat them in San Antonio Texas love your video's
Wow turkey vultures jeepers brave FD. The shower was a good thing for rinsing the goods, and never a bad thing to get a free shower :) Make sure to check the lights if they do not work, screw off the top incase there is a little paper tab you need to remove to allow the solar panel to become active. And I never thought of them in the house after outside so I can find my way to the bathroom great idea 😂 you are not alone FD. Wonderful haul absolutely. xo
They do work, but great reminder about the tab!
I enjoyed today's video ! Not only did you get quite a haul, but we got serenaded with Sinatra and The Talking Heads. lol!
It's a variety channel!
Sugary sweets always makes me feel better when I am stressed.
You know those solar yard lights make good emergency lights.
My man would have raced straight to the car at the first sign of a raindrop!! Well done Frugal Daddy!
Your so right Amy I'm going to buy at least a dozen or more pop tarts and store them with my stock pile.
Recipe for hummingbird feeder: Boil 4 Cups water with 1 Cup sugar. Let cool. Do not add red food dye, the red on the feeder will attract humming birds. Store unused sweet mixture in fridge. Enjoy the hummingbirds!
Glad to still see the humor is there. Love watching yall...
Happy Diving...💜💗💙💛
I loved your list of what people are prepping for! What a memory you have to be able to spew them all out like that, without a pause. But you and Frugal Daddy aren't prepping for any of those things, are you? No, indeed, just financial catastrophe and bad weather.
That's all we are willing to publicly admit to. But we are constantly working on our anti-zombie strategies!
Those solar lights, put marbles in a small mouth canning jar , take the polls off the solar lights, stick the lights into the marbles the top of the solar lights fit perfectly on the mouth of the jars, really pretty sitting on an outside table to take in the house at night. Really nice looking.
🌧🌧🌧🌈 and my dog thought it was raining here because I had the volume up 😂😁 he does not like rain.
Good haul 👍
Wow what a tremendous haul 👏. Good for you.
Good prepper haul 😊 love it all

Hey guys! Fun video. Looks like you had a lot of fun out there frugal daddy!. A really cool recipe to use those cheese curls! Take a bag and crush them up. Then use it as a dredge for your chicken. Instead of using flour, use that! It will make your chicken nice and crispy and cheesy! I'm sure your kids would love that.
I admit I enjoyed the rain storm, being that here in CA we are in a severe drought, and in the midst of a days-long triple digit heat wave. All that aside, that was a good haul. Those pop tart things actually looked quite yummy! (And no, I wouldn’t eat them even if I could).😄
The rain storm was my favorite part of this video also. I'm in CA too, and the drought is getting scary. When FM started talking about the almond milk, I thought about the almond growers that need more water. Yet people are still filling their swimming pools, and complaining about food prices. Go figure, people are so clueless.
@@donnastockwell296 Agree! Just watched a Jeff Lewis episode from his latest tv show; he’s designing the outdoor space for a celebrity, and aside from fountains and flower beds is a huge expanse of lawn - in Los Angeles!
I do not feel sad for almond growers, they sucked up an unbelievable amount of water from California. Wasteful..all that almond milk ends up in the dumpsters.
Thanks very much for letting me watch you doing the grocery shopping while out admiring the wildlife. The free shower you and your car got was a bonus😂🤣.
Your videos are always so good to watch. All I find are empty bins but I’ll keep looking. May God continue to move you to help others🌺
You prep because it the wisest thing to do!
Remember those plastic bowls would make great covers for the picnic table foods =)
PS, keep in mind Feb 2023 is about a 1/2 year from now
It's hard to even imagine what 2023 will be like or that it is right around the corner!
Humming bird feeder! We have lots. Don't use kool-aid. It's not good for the birds, but you can get humming bird food at the store or make your own with the online recipes, but don't use the kool-aid ones! Good luck, we get lots of them at our house. They actually stop and sit on them when they are comfortable. It's so neat to see them sitting still. They are so tiny. ☮❤😊
I think the food stuff is always on the bottom. They clear the shelves and toss it, then unpack the new stuff to go on the shelves. So dig to the bottom for the good stuff.
My favorite of your great finds olives 🫒 look delish
Great prep finds
Great haul you two!
I'm the same as you hun I stock up on tins of food just in case something happens with shops and food shortages
You just never know! And you can never have too much food stocked away! Keep it up!
Brave Frugal Daddy, great haul.
I just saw a hack where they took solar lights, removed the cylinder you cover the stake with from the light, glued the light part bottom to a mirror as part of a decorative table treatment and the mirror reflection increases the light at least three times or more. So, now you only have to find mirrors!
Hi Frugal Family, have a good day
and the find is good.
Great haul y’all are sooo funny and sweet!
It is so amazing to watch what you can get from the dumpsters. It is something I wish I could do in my area but sadly most places have compactors. The canning videos are great to keep sealed for the prepper pantry to, they keep for a long time. Remember to stay safe in all you do and keep the awesome videos coming, I love to watch. Love 💕💕 and Hugs 🤗🤗🤗 from Sheboygan, WI.
Amy you nailed it on Why People Prep.. there are a lot of reasons. I am a prepper and like you I prep for financial instability and natural disasters which in Ohio can happen at a moments notice. Last week AEP decided to shut off several areas of our city with no warning for 2 days.. Yeah!! I had solar lights outside lamps with extra batteries, battery operated fans, canned foods and a way to heat them.. though it was hot as Hades here we could have been a whole lot worse off. We've had this happen before with storms that knocked the grid down for a week ice storms in the winter.. Be Prepared Not Scared. I'm so glad to see you are thinking about your families security. And absolutely on target about the sweets and snacks we all need a little mental pick me up when going through stressful situations. Anna In Ohio
OMGOSH!!!! I just love you Frugal Mommy and Daddy ...You two make my day. Love watching Frugal Daddy dive and bring all those goodys home to his Frugal Family Love and Respect to you all Sending hugsssssss and good VIBES :)

You are 😂 HILARIOUS. Thanks for the songs and laughs!
Happy afternoon 🌅
Lol I love watching you. Frugal mummy you always make me laugh. Keep up the good work .
great video love love love the turkey hawks their so cute
If you own a curling iron, you already own a Mylar sealing kit! It’s what we used to seal balloons at the florist where I worked years ago.
OMG! Genius!
We have those turkey vultures down on the Illinois River front , here in Pekin Illinois. They are Hudge. There's like 50 of them that hang out.
True statement!
I've been so eager to see you guys ☺️
Here comes the rain! Good daddy keeps digging.Good man.
More videos of Frugal Daddy in rain and thunderstorms please! It's most satisfying, watching while lying in a warm dry bed.
The way inflation is sky rocketing. We needs pantries! That foodstuff for backups! Just look at what gets stored in bomb shelters…there you go then! Amy, I am with you 100% on this!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love these two ❤️
This is one of the best!
The other day I was out and about I rode by Kirkwood dumpster, and I found a two drawer rolling kitchen cart . Perfect condition!, just missing a drawer...easy fix. I looked it on the Kirkwood web, lol...good grief! It's worth 250 bucks. And I got it for free! Happy Happy Dance!
Awesome!
That little red thing is a hummabird feeder goggle it
Im watching happy u are a lot of food im happy god bless u, from Davao city Philippine
I make crumbs out of the bbq pork rinds and use them as bread crumbs for oven fried chicken seasoned bbq. Also good sprinkled with ranch packet!
Always enjoy your videos
