to argue with hubs about Freeganism?

[roobydoobydoo]

He's been made redundant. Not been in current job long. Money's tight, but he's proud.

Whereas I'm not too proud to consider raiding supermarket skips etc to feed the family. Needs must and all that.

Has anyone tried it? If so was it a short-term measure or a way of life?

All polite view appreciated.

My ex's dad used to do this before "freegans" were invented- he was an innovator . In fact, he had a multi step strategy

1. Check the yellow sticker shelf for bargains.

1. Harass the people putting the yellow stickers on stuff to take more money off, pointing out that it was now only X mins till store closure and they only had x mins to sell 50 short dated shepherds pies. he even used to offer them bulk deals

1. Wait in the carpark until after the store closed with a specially purchased 75L rucksack, climb over the 12ft gate and raid the bins.

He used to get so much stuff- loads of ready meals, meat etc. He never got ill.
