El Cid Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Freeganism is an ideology of limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources, particularly through recovering wasted goods like food. I totally respect freegans, but I could do it full-time. I just eaten a Fox's biscuit discarded by someone. I found 3, all still in their wrappers. I have a few hats that I found on the path, who else loves a freebie? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 While seeking to lessen your consumption of resources is a noble cause, intentionally doing everything you can to not contribute to the economy or society as a whole is actually quite selfish. It's all fun and games till someone needs medical aid. Then do you think they'll hold their hands up and say they don't want it because they don't contribute to society? Yea I doubt it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ01 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I found a roll of unused dog poop bags yesterday - good quality ones too - one of the happiest days of my life 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The_DADDY Posted July 16 Popular Post Share Posted July 16 I tried Freeganism once and really enjoyed it but apparently the shops considered it shop lifting so I had to stop. Miserable gits 🙄 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Bundy Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Love freebies. Most of my house contents are freebies either through work or giveaways. The amount of decent stuff folks throwaway is scandalous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of decent stuff folks throwaway is scandalous. I just got home at 2pm, I opened a tin of tuna to make a sandwich. No bread, but there was a sealed pack of 6 Warburtons breadcakes in the bin. They were best before 30th July, but no mould, so I had 2, I was starving. White bread that even mould won't touch, is that what they are selling these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones in my garden start going brown after about 2 minutes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
