frugan living

sort of infatuated with this blog, frugan living. the long and short of it is that this young woman dives through dumpsters for groceries. she gets all the nonperishables that stores throw out (which actually makes pretty good sense) but she'll also snag the produce that hasn't necessarily gone bad, but that the store throws out after a certain amount of time on the shelves. so, my gut instinct tells me that's probably not very healthy/sanitary. or is it the pervasiveness and entrenchment of throwaway culture combined with the general germaphobia present in our society that makes us dismissive of a totally economical (and safe?) way to live and eat? i dunno. i'm too germaphobic to try.

this guy knows what i'm talking about.
