Today's haul

The last few days have been interesting. Tuesday's dd was full of onions. ..I mean hundreds of bags. I only took 1 bag and some bell peppers.
Wednesday was better.
2 containers of blackerries
2 bags of English muffins
1 pkg of corn on the cob
Approximately $12 worth

Today was even better
9 heads of cauliflower (split with a friend)
3 more pkgs corn (split)
3 pkgs blackberries
1 bag lemons
1 bag organic apples for homemade apple sauce
Approximately $38 worth split between myself and a friend

Now, I only take what I myself need or for a friend. In this case a close friend is having money trouble due to her spouses long unemployment after a layoff so I grab what she is willing to use. She doesn't like anything that can't be cooked or is in a sealed pkg like bread. I took her a box of food I had been collecting and she was so grateful as she is on a strict diet for health reasons and has to eat a lot of specific produce. Her husband and son can eat anything.  It makes me feel good to know I can help her, my family and still leave more than enough food for the little old man who I know comes every afternoon to get food for himself and other elderly. I always leave for him no matter how little or a lot is in the dumpster.
