Lots of potatoes, some bell peppers, strawberries, a leek, tomatoes, 3 apples (1 not pictured), and 1 apex predator. This food will give us apple pie, grits and curry with the tomatoes, stir fried peppers, strawberries in oatmeal, leak soup, and a bunch of meals from the potatoes.
If you’re interested in trying this yourself, the easiest place to start is by asking grocery store workers if they throw out any food, and if you can look through it. Some stores will be happy for you to do so. There are even some people out there on an exclusively freegan diet.

There’s an app Too Good to Go that does this for local restaurants near the end of the day. Though it’s not free, but heavily discounted.
A great way to try some of the restaurants nearby that may normally be out of your budget.
Just started using it. Got a great deal on sushi and pastries last week from two new stores. I want to try the grocery this week
fallingfruit.org is a great resource as well
This is great, but remember not to harass your local grocery store employee. They likely don’t have the authority to let you go through the food they are going to throw away. It sucks, but many corporate chains will prohibit donating or otherwise using produce destined for the bin.
It doesn’t hurt to ask, but if they say “no,” say thanks anyway and go someplace else.
