Anyone want to become a freegan?

If so, I'll meet you at the back of the supermarket to the left of the bins!

I blame the Wombles. Coming over here with their strange traditions. Send 'em all back where they came from. that's what I say.

Thanks but think I'll pass!

I wonder how you explain that at dinner parties...

' Just to let you know I'm a strict freegan these days. Is that ok?'

Erm.... we used to call this tipping. Im not proud of it but we used to do it. Used to have to do it on a daily basis but I remember having a veritable banquet of cheese on toast and fondant fancies one night.


My braver flatmate would walk into safeways with empty carrier bags and fill them up as she went around.

There have been times in my life when I have been a bit skint, and a few times when I have been literally going hungry. However, I never had the guts to get food out of the supermarket bins. I wish I had, as I used to look with envy at the luxury items my more brazen freinds had collected from the Budgens bins on an almost daily basis..
I say luxury, one day they would have eight pounds of fillet steak, and then find nothing but cornflakes and baking soda for a week.
Supermarkets began to lock their bins at night a few years back - I still hate the thought of perfectly good food going to waste, for more reason than one.
