We have a problem! Are we going hungry? The opposite, we have too much food. At the start we feared living off stale bread and wilting veggies; now we struggle to get through the food. We have had moments of defeat when we come home empty handed, but usually we’re able to salvage pounds of still scrumptious meals. Often we still have to remind ourselves that having these massive findings, is not something one should celebrate. Salvaging food at the end of its life isn’t a solution to the issue of waste, nor is this a practical lifestyle we condone. . . but it still can be quite a thrill. We calculated that we have collected over $500 (retail) of edible foods in the past 15 days. We only take what we need or can carry and have found it tough leaving tons of food behind. This is not a full time job. We look just after work every couple days (we bring our own shopping bags) The struggle now is to get through the food we have found and to not see it go to waste again.
