We actually went to a DG that the refrigeration system just broke and the truck came in while we were there and said he had to leave everything. They unloaded and told us to get what we wanted. We got cases of butter, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese , yogurt, eggs coffee creamer, cheese and all the things. We shared it all out but it was a true blessing. Merry Christmas to you and yours
Merry Christmas! What an awesome and wonderful unexpected food haul from an unanticipated source! YAY!!!! Dumpster diving for goodies! Double yay! And kudos to Hannah for suggesting it !
Merry Christmas to you too!!!! Yes! I am so glad it worked out! I will be checking the dumpsters a little more now that I know what they like to hide!!!
I often find food at our Aldi and sometimes at Dollar General. Unfortunately, our Dollar General Market has their dumpster locked. I just scored 40 bagels at our Penera. It helps feed our family of 7.
It is amazing how much food people throw away! So much of it could be used for families like yours. I am going to be checking dumpsters a little closer now. I just wish I lived closer to some of the bigger stores.
I love dumpster diving. I used to go everyday when I had a car. Please do an online search on any of the food to see if they've been recalled. Just to be super safe.
That’s it’s horrible of dollar general that they rather throw away toys on Christmas Eve rather than donate them. I am so happy that you were able to rescue the toys and the food. Amazing blessings for this Christmas.
It's ok, I was able to donate the toys to some local families that hadn't received any help for Christmas as well as share some of the food with them.. It's really sad to see what gets tossed. I was happy to be able to rescue it and save it from the landfill.
Its outrageous how stores throw out perfectly good food instead of donating it to a food bank! In my religon wasting food is a sin! So glad you got all this food❤
I bet there is a children's shelter or a battered women's shelter, with moms and children, near you all that would love to have those toys for their clients! Great score and happy holidays to you and your family!!!
Hey so I was able to find a couple local families that had not received any help yet and with it being last minute they were very grateful to receive some help. It made my day.
Awesome haul Amber and Hanna!! There is a RUclips channel called curbside junkies. The dumpster dive and they usually find there finds at dollar general.
What a wonderful SCORE!!!! Trust your gut. That fruit punch good, the girls will love it. Now you can save the capri sun for lunchs when school starts back. Merry Christmas.
Thank you, the juice was amazing and I did just that, I put the capri sun back for school lunches and I even froze some of the juice. On Christmas we served lots of juice to the kids and adults... everyone went home with their own container of juice. It was so nice to be able to share with others and to donate the toys to those that were still in need.
Merry Christmas! I watch Dumpter Diving Mama of 2. She has found so many places to donate to. It will make you so darn mad seeing how much stuff they throw out instead of donating. There are kids with nothing under the tree and they just put it in the trash.
Thank you, I will check her out. I am new to the dumpster diving life, but now that I seen for myself what can be hiding in the dumpsters I will be checking them a little closer. It was a blessing to be able to do some last minute donating to families that were still in need.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I'm so glad you found those bags. Great score! Shame they throw that stuff away and don't give it to kids in need for Christmas.
You bet it!!! I am checking dumpsters every time I go by them... so far no new finds but I still check because you never know when I will find something.
Please be careful they might destroy it they find out you are a dumpster diver. Also penny items are suppose to be pulled from the sales floor. If u find them though before they pull them they are suppose to sell them to you.. please watch penny item videos. There is a lot that goes into it. I Penny shop all the time. Feel free to reach out to me if you would like.. Merry Christmas
I will make sure I am extra careful. Thanks for the heads up. I used to be a manager for dollar general years ago and with the penny items they were always sent back for a liquidator to pick up. I am so happy that I was able to save these from the trash and now children will be enjoying them.
@MamaToAll I totally agree about saving them. I was told a manager in my town that they choose to throw them away now cause they get back for them that way. I have found so much I was able to donate to a local shelter in need this Christmas
That is a great idea that I could always grind up one for her... we will not be wasting this. I opened each pack and they all smelled perfectly fine so we will be eating them.
Just make sure nothing is recalled That's my big thing... For me it's been lifetime of learning the ins and outs of dumpster diving and junking and salvaging... I literally ate better out of the dumpsters when I could dumpster dive then I ever did when I was working and could actually afford food no help no food stamps no nothing.,.. I couldn't afford it when I was working you know how much money I have saved dumpster diving over the years... Just use common sense when you're dumpster diving If someone says hey you know if you get caught just say okay I'm sorry and go on Don't argue don't do nothing like that because if you when people argue with you know the store employees it just makes dumpster divers look bad and we don't want that just literally people are actually feeding themselves out of the dumpsters... Don't be ashamed of it ain't nothing wrong with it...
Thank you, I will always check for recalls. I also agree with the not arguing with the employees. It's not worth ruining it for others. So far no one has said anything to me. I haven't found anymore really good stuff yet either but i still check it daily in the hopes of finding more stuff to rescue.
It’s still a shame to trash perfectly good items. It should be donated. Greedy corporations and yet kids in shelters could benefit from this. They should be ashamed. Such waste

Wow!
Oh how nice!!! That is such a blessing and I am happy that you were able to receive and that they passed it out instead of trashing it.
Merry Christmas! What an awesome and wonderful unexpected food haul from an unanticipated source! YAY!!!! Dumpster diving for goodies! Double yay! And kudos to Hannah for suggesting it !
Merry Christmas to you too!!!! Yes! I am so glad it worked out! I will be checking the dumpsters a little more now that I know what they like to hide!!!
It’s so upsetting when stores are wasteful like this! I’m so glad you were able to benefit. God bless you and yours.
You’re right! It is wasteful and I’m so thankful that I was able to find food instead of it going to waste.
What a great video, fantastic score from the dumpster, the food that they threw away is such a waste.
It's sad to see perfectly good food get thrown away but I'm glad I was able to save it and put it to good use!
I often find food at our Aldi and sometimes at Dollar General. Unfortunately, our Dollar General Market has their dumpster locked. I just scored 40 bagels at our Penera. It helps feed our family of 7.

That sure was a blessing God is so good he looks out for us I hope you and your family happy s blessing Christmas
Thank you
I love dumpster diving. I used to go everyday when I had a car. Please do an online search on any of the food to see if they've been recalled. Just to be super safe.
Thank you, I checked and no recalls, I am going daily to check the dumpsters but so far I haven't had any more good finds.
That’s it’s horrible of dollar general that they rather throw away toys on Christmas Eve rather than donate them.
I am so happy that you were able to rescue the toys and the food. Amazing blessings for this Christmas.
It's ok, I was able to donate the toys to some local families that hadn't received any help for Christmas as well as share some of the food with them.. It's really sad to see what gets tossed. I was happy to be able to rescue it and save it from the landfill.
Great dive it's just mind blowing what's thrown away. Keep diving ❤
Thank you, I am going to continue to check in all the dumpsters around me. I am excited for my next find.

Its outrageous how stores throw out perfectly good food instead of donating it to a food bank! In my religon wasting food is a sin! So glad you got all this food❤
I agree, it is absolutely ridiculous, Why not donate it... I agree with your religion.. food should never be wasted. Thank you.
I bet there is a children's shelter or a battered women's shelter, with moms and children, near you all that would love to have those toys for their clients! Great score and happy holidays to you and your family!!!
Hey so I was able to find a couple local families that had not received any help yet and with it being last minute they were very grateful to receive some help. It made my day.

Merry Christmas to you and your family. I'm so glad you found those bags. Great score! Shame they throw that stuff away and don't give it to kids in need for Christmas.

Great haul! It was meant to be! Merry Christmas 😊
Thank you
Glad to see you dumpster diving Amber lol ❤❤❤❤merry Christmas
I am so glad you’re enjoying the content!!!
Awesome .unbelievable how much they throw away instead of donating to a soup kitchen.
I agree, it is a shame to see how much is tossed in the trash instead of donated.
Our Dollar General donates to the Mission we volunteer at. They are part of the Feed America plan.
That would be awesome if the dollar generals around here donated. but sadly they do not.
Merry Christmas from Alberta Canada.
Thank you
Awesome stuff my friend
Thanks! It was a pretty good haul this time.
Merry Christmas. Lots of love to you and your family.
Thank you
This is amazing!!!
Thank you
❤😊
😊💕
😮 what a blessing. Merry Christmas!! Jesus blessed us everyday 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you, yes!!! Everyday!!!
Check the toys for recalls before giving away.
Recall toys are not supposed to just be thrown in the dumpster where anybody can access them, so let's hope they are not recalled.
Thank you, they weren't recalled, it was all seasonal toys that the store was no longer selling.
These stores know what they are doing. Not loosing any money throwing it out. Have insurance to be reimbursed.
It's true that they aren't loosing any money but it's still sad when it could be donated.
Awesome! Our dollar general in upstate New York doesn’t carry fresh produce.
Thank you, we have several that took over the old walmart express buildings and they have gas as well as groceries.
I'd totally eat dumpster meat. But if not grind it for Gabi!
That is a great idea that I could always grind up one for her... we will not be wasting this. I opened each pack and they all smelled perfectly fine so we will be eating them.
Dollar general should be embarrassed.
I agree
Please check again.
Oh yes, I am now going to be checking this dumpster on a regular basis... Waste not, Want not!!! Thank you
Can you take the toys to the police station or fire station so they can pass them out?
The toys went to a couple local families that still had not received any help.
Just make sure nothing is recalled That's my big thing... For me it's been lifetime of learning the ins and outs of dumpster diving and junking and salvaging...

What time did you go? You seem to have went at the optimal time.
It was early morning, I'm sure they tossed it shortly after opening.
I didn't know that Dollar general have pork chops or other meats?
There are a handful of dollar generals that have an entire grocery section. We have about 7 that have gas stations and grocery inside.
Aldi trashes their food and product as well.
That is what the insurance companies want them to do.
My closest Aldi is 30 to 45 minutes away, If it was close enough I would check it daily.
They get it back through their insurance. Claim it as a lost. You are old enough to know that.
It’s still a shame to trash perfectly good items. It should be donated. Greedy corporations and yet kids in shelters could benefit from this. They should be ashamed. Such waste
It is a shame, but unfortunately there are way too many legal ramifications.And that is why they do not just donate it.@CassyAllen-r1l
Good for you!
Thanks, it was a lot of fun!
