Well, never mind all that rummaging around in the wilderness hunting for nuts and mushrooms. I found a can of baked beans the other day outside the supermarket.......it appears people sometimes drop stuff when loading groceries into their car. You know how it is, you just go in for some milk, but you come home with something else

Hey - that's an idea - modern foraging! Just hang around the supermarket carpark; stare at folk loading their cars - or muck around a bit - anything to get them nervous and drop things; then forage...

I always thought of skip diving as the urban equivlent of foraging.

True - the carpark foraging is just an extension!

My hubbys been doing it for years.
A muddy screwed up bit of paper on the floor and he instinctively knows it's money.

Did anyone see that wifeswap when the woman went "Binraiding"? She snuck (Is that a word?
) behind the supermarkets where the bins were at night and came away with about 6bags full of unspoiled food! It was amazing...spesh cause she made a family of millionares do it too!!
Don't get me started on supermarkets......

A bit of dumpster diving sounds like fun. I have enough trouble overcoming those inhibitions to pick up stuff in the street....mother always said that was dirty
