Comments on: Freeganism – The New Frontier http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/06/19/freeganism-the-new-frontier/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I do not know where the special dumpsters are dumping but someone could follow them. All the food is fresh and some still frozen. Can you pass this on to whoever might be interested. They have to act fast. The Coles Woodend Supermarket (high st)in Victoria Aust is throwing out ALL of its fresh meat dairy deli and frozen goods due to apower outage last night.$200,000 worth.

I have recently began bin diving as a form of manifesting abundance, allowing spirit to feed me and my family so to speak. Just today I went through 4 bins of Coles, woolies, aldi's and franklins reclaiming around $350 of food that would otherwise end up as land fill.

If you were in England last week there was no need to dumpster dive round the back, you could have just gone in through the broken front window and looted a big old bag of rice!

We hit up a Coles near our house that fills up black bins as opposed to the giant dumpsters. There was kilos and kilos of fresh fruit and veg, half of which was still amazing looking without the slightest hint of a blemish. Me and a fellow first time diver got a little too carried away and took more than we could possible consume, but I do know better now; take less, because there will always be more in the bin when you need it. I work full time at the moment so I don't need to dumpster dive as I have the cash to buy my groceries, but instead I choose to dive because I really hate the waste. The things they are throwing out people would happily eat, yet instead it is turned into landfill. At least our local fruit shop piles a lot of fruit and veggies about to go off into a box and sells it for $5 (seriously these things are amazing- 15 punnets of straberries or a dozen mangoes for $5) but Coles is big enough and makes enough money that they dump it and don't care.
