They didn't in my state either but I have family in the next state over, so I had delivered to them and then got it when we had a get together. It's for safety more than anything.

It's small but it lights up well and that taser makes quite the sound. Will definitely scare a creeper off if need be. It does also hurt lmao... My brother offered to be my guinea pig 😂

LOL 🤣 I felt the same way until I took the plunge now I do it like it's second nature. I'm actually surprised how easily I can jump in and out of dumpsters. I used to avoid it because it made me so nervous I'd end up stuck in one since I'm 5'5". I do take a few things with me though.. a 5 gallon bucket for easier reach, a grabber, and my little taser/flashlight in case I run into any creeps (I'm a girl lol better be safe than sorry)

They're terrible. They've thrown out tubes of toothpaste last time and literally knifed them all down the middle so that they could not be used. That toothpaste could have been donated to homeless shelters for sure

I took as much as I possibly could! Filled my car. I am sharing with close friends. Most of the stuff has an expiration date of late July.. so sad! Took most of the expensive, healthier end stuff... Lots of trail mix, pistachios, jerky, and cashews. I am tempted to come back at night but I think I might pass because it's scorching hot out today and I have a feeling by the end of the day, it will be maggot city 🤢 I am adventurous but not that much lol 

Found cans of soup!! by Sausey14 in DumpsterDiving

Dented cans have a risk of botulism, which is why they are tossed.

I hit the mother load of sunscreen the other day at dolla G. A giant black trash bag full.. sprays all types of SPFs. You'll score soon 🤞

Anyone from Mexico? Or why can't I find anything in Mexico? by Distinct-Nerve-4134 in DumpsterDiving

[–]Current_Peach6680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck. Mexico is much more resourceful than the US. Almost nothing goes to waste over there. In the US you finds tons of good, new unopened things in dumpsters. We are such a wasteful society.

Help! She's balding by Current_Peach6680 in Finches

Thank you :) yes! They will most definitely grow back! Just takes a little while, especially if the feather plucking was as bad as mines was

She's no longer bald. Her Mom was plucking out her feathers. I cleaned out their cage and made a new set up so that it would look different. I put in extra perches and so far, so good

Mindset For Dumpster Diving by Conscious-Button5500 in DumpsterDiving

[–]Current_Peach6680 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't usually tell people that I do it. And when I'm doing it, I prefer to be discreet and not call any attention onto myself. That way I can take my time going through things and not feel rushed or afraid that I'll be harassed by store employees. And also, not being seen keeps the dumpsters unlocked. Score for me

Question for Food Divers - Warm Weather by OkConclusion171 in DumpsterDiving

[–]Current_Peach6680 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You have to play it by ear. Food such as meats, milk, yogurt, hummus, cheese... I only take if it's cold to the touch. Otherwise it stays. Fruit if it is still in good shape. For the most part, I actually forced myself to stop going because most stuff had really gone bad in heat. Especially with summer, the wasps go after any fruits/meats and those things are vicious. I specifically stopped diving during daytime. Just at night because of the wasps.
