We eat meat out of our freezer that is several years past "freeze by date" all that you took will be great! Nice save, what a great savings in your grocery budget!
We recently found a big box of oranges sitting outside of an Aldi dumpster. Beautiful oranges. Took the box and shared with friends . Still eating oranges 2 weeks later! We know several people struggling with buying food, so we are happy to share when we find good food in the dumpster.
@@sarahl.944 I've lost a deep freezer full of food also. While heartbreaking, Please don't get too discouraged. I have another deep freezer and it's full again along with my fridge freezer. Might get another as well. Stuff happens sometimes but we get through it. Just wanted to encourage you😊
@brendaweaver6294 thank you. It was a huge loss for us. I'm trying not to be discouraged, but with the cost of food anymore. It will be hard to replace what was lost.
I always wonder how the people who are throwing out perfectly okay food sleep at night when there are so many people who are in need. I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror. Thanks for saving what you could.❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@IolaCrocker They sleep just fine. I've worked in grocery stores. I've even tossed out 50gallon cans of produce because I was instructed to. Not because I wanted to. In the grocery business profit is the name of the game.
You'd be surprised by how many people who are struggling and won't eat food passed best before dates and complain about the free food they receive. And think they're way too good to be eating food from dumpsters, yet they can't afford food.😂
I have an advantage for the meat. We have a Big Cat Rescue here that would be happy to take the meat. Lions, tigers, Bob cats, and other wild cats will eat it. Try calling your local zoo or wildlife rescue to see if they want it. If there's a recall, stores should be required to put unsafe food into a separate dumpster. Otherwise, they should be required to donate to food pantries or animal rescue. One of our food pantries has venison that is donated. Thank you for taking the time to check the meat and rescuing what you could. ❤❤❤❤❤ I liked the white dresser and side table. Hi Bones 👋 Such a handsome kitty 😺
Our cat is 21 now and we put the heating pad beside her little bed for her hip joints. She likes it beside her not on her. On 2nd setting. Every day with her now is such a blessing. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
I have made connections with others who do what I do. When we come across massive amounts of food, we contact each other so food doesn't go to waste. We have acquired 4 freezers. We watch for moving sales or even curb side. We have not paid for one of them. I now help feed about 25 families a week. I'm in Tampa, Fl. area and can't believe the food waste in our area. More & more people are having a hard time feeding their children. I also found elderly on fixed incomes that now have less money for food due to the rapid rise in our economy in the past few years.
Unless it's been recalled all you have to do is smell the bacon all the meat for that matter anything, just take a wiff. If it doesn't smell bad it should be just fine. And you're right about making the call for yourselves. Had fun going with you. Love yas. Hi Bones.❤
I just had to stop by and say, your channel is such a blessing to me, you guys make me laugh, smile and so much more... you have a huge caring heart and it shows.
My fridge is set low. It's about 38- 32 in there. I rent and my fridge is very old so I set it low cause if not it gets too warm for my comfort. It will freeze tea solid if I leave it in there .
This is our dream! We would love to be able to have more freezer space to save more food when we find it. Maybe we will find a freezer by the trash someday *fingers crossed*
12/23 I’d have filled that truck bed up!!! Meat is so expensive and it’s all frozen or cold. Alex is motivated to take a bunch more, but Kelly is like “Noooo…..” LOL! Why Kelly?
That was my thought animals killed for nothing, people hungry when they shouldn’t be and nowhere to donate this? I am sure it could be given to homeless shelters who will cook and use immediately but the mentality of these shops is just skip it!
if ground beef turns brown in the freezer, it is not necessarily bad; this color change is usually just due to a lack of oxygen and is considered normal, as long as the meat remains frozen and doesn't have any off smells or textures; the color change alone does not indicate spoilage.
So glad you were able to get some chicken and sausages for yourselves, anything smoked will generally last longer than regular chicken or ground beef. Thanks for taking the time to get out and dive for us !!!!!!
I have a relative that works in a meat depth. of a large grocery chain. They often throw out meats just because there is no room or the expiry date is a couple of days away. They don't have room to store it in freezers so it gets binned. Its a sga.e that this happens but it happens everywhere. She told me if she becomes the neat manager she'll be contacting food banks and shelters to pick it up and freezer it right away. So much more gets binned than we'll ever understand and its really a shame. Im so glad you were able to get som that was good and still frozen. Cheers to yiu both. ❤
Hi Kelly and Alex “May God bless your day with joy and peace, stay-safe Happy Sunday Guys take care guys Enjoyed Your Vlog, I hope you have a wonderful day! guys ...
Y'all literally make my day! I laugh and smile at your videos when y'all crack jokes which bring joy. Seriously, you guys are such a lift to one's heart. Appreciate y'all! :)
If you didn't have enough freezer space you can can always preserve it in mason jars. Pressure can for 90 min or water bath for 3 hours. Good to go and shelf stable for years.
Water bathing meat for any length of time will not kill botulsim spores so please never try it. Pressure canning is completely different. Botulism is deadly.
While you are out dumpster diving and might find some little wire shelves use them in your freezer to organize it better. I had the same kind of freezer and did that. It was a game changer.
Go shop for a used freezer today! It'd be worth it! The beef probably wasn't bad. It can get brownish just from air exposure or freezer burn. You can cut that section off.
I would be very tempted to go buy a freezer just for meat in this situation. May sound crazy but I’m like you guys-very frugal. So sad about the waste. 😢
what you guys should do is call some more dumpster divers to get things when there is too much for you. I think you all are just looking out for yourselves and what you can get out of what you find. The whole idea is to save as much as you can to keep it from going to waste.
It is so sad 😢 to see all of that meat going to waste with all of the people that are suffering from food insecurity, all of that could have been donated to food pantries and/or soup kitchens to feed the poor and homeless. Glad to see you save what you could. Pets cuddles kisses and scritches for Mr Bones ❤️❤️❤️ I would have been saving some of that furniture especially dressers because there's usually a pretty good demand for them especially here in Pennsylvania
I sat watching with my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 hoping that you found some cat food and vegetables, coffee, and snacks so you could have your food cupboards stocked too. You are both so very sweet and Kind to help the blessing boxes. Bless you both.
All of it was fine to eat. As others have said bacon, hot dogs, smoked sausages keep for ages. Some of the 🐔 🐔 🐔 you could have cooked and frozen for Mr Bones. You should keep a lookout for 🐟 🐟 🐟 too for Mr Bones.
Hope you are having a great day as well. We are trying to track down your PO Box. We would like to send you a small gift that would be super useful for the dives. 😊
Hi Kelly Alex and Bones y'all got some good meats. I am sure that meat will be fine. WE had meat gave to our family it was mostly chicken. It was saved from the landfill. Y'all take care. And get some rest. Blessings your friend Joyce from California HUGS ❤️ 🫂 🤗!!
You should have taken much more for bones too. The chicken is better than canned food for bones. Just buy a freezer tomorrow. You’ll save hundreds anyway.
Happy you got those groceries, I hope you went back for more, you didn't say if you did or not. Yes I can see bones is spoiled but so is my cat. We just can't help it. Lol looking forward to your next dive. You deserve a nap.😊
What a great meat score for this time of the year when it’s so cold in your area!! I would definitely pass on the beef that was brown or gray in the package. When Alex was yawning, I was thinking it’s time to stop at Duncan for some coffee!!! ☕☕ Hello Bones!!!
I'm glad you guys got to take at least some of that meat. 🙂 The sad thing is that all those animals died for nothing 😔 Thank you for another awesome video, you guys are my favorite!
Why don't the store with the meat, donate to a food bank or soup kitchen that feed people. What a waste. I agree about one listener saying that the animal died for nothing, and then throw the meat in dumpers.
The inflated bags in the big dumpster. Those are used in transport of large pallets or product. They are placed in the space between the pallets, to help them from shifting around during delivery. Keeps products from being damaged.
We eat meat out of our freezer that is several years past "freeze by date" all that you took will be great! Nice save, what a great savings in your grocery budget!
I'd fill up the truck and go buy a freezer in the morning. Costco has one for $300 right now. It'd be worth it with the price of food!
I have 2 chest freezers, and 2 refrigerators, when we find food like this, we take all we can and donate to other families.
@@amyutah1934 💯 agree
We recently found a big box of oranges sitting outside of an Aldi dumpster. Beautiful oranges. Took the box and shared with friends . Still eating oranges 2 weeks later! We know several people struggling with buying food, so we are happy to share when we find good food in the dumpster.
A deep freezer was one of the best things our family has invested in.
I lost my deep freezer and all of its contents last month. It makes me not want to get another one. It was a horrible mess and a lot of money lost.
@@jessicawilliams9723 Yes I love my deep freezer!

Me too. Bought a small used one on craigs list for $40 best purchase i ever made saves me so much $$ just put 8 lbs of .99 cent butter woo hoo!

If you give away you can’t right off taxes so they make it hard .
You'd be surprised by how many people who are struggling and won't eat food passed best before dates and complain about the free food they receive. And think they're way too good to be eating food from dumpsters, yet they can't afford food.😂
@soniavos8065 I bought 2 packs of 2 thick pork chops that were reduced for quick sale the other day.
I've eaten 2 of them.
They were excellent.
Bacon and sausage has so many preservatives it's still good.
Bacon is the one thing I would say is fine to take, it's smoked which preserves it for longer.
Bacon, hot dogs, smoked sausage is smoked and can stay in a freezer just fine.
Also has soooo much salt to help preserve them
Yes, in depression they could scape the mold off still good.
They’re so full of salt and other preservatives they will keep forever..
I always take them before risking eating any other dumpster meat ..
@@traceykillen6957 I was going to say the same thing - bacon and things like that are considered preserved meats.
Take it give it to family n friends!
Shame not to take it an help someone else!

What a great idea
If it was vacuum packed and frozen all of that was still good. I would have filled my freezer and called some friends. :)
you're driving me nuts! look it up and take it allllll! omg
That meat was all fine! Nothing wrong with it.
Would stop get freezer
Gotta have the cash to do that!
Our cat is 21 now and we put the heating pad beside her little bed for her hip joints. She likes it beside her not on her. On 2nd setting. Every day with her now is such a blessing. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
That bacon would be all up in my car! 😂

You are a hero❤

Wow ! Take it all !! Give it to others in need!! Learn to home can meats .. great find !!
Bacon is usually smoked so will be fine even when left out at home for some time
As someone who grew up on a farm and knew my animals well, the death and work by farmers for NOTHING but a dumpster hurts my soul.
i think stores should be made to donate food to shelters and soup kitchens when they get close to expiring and fined for trashing it.
Agree 👍
Many Food banks aren’t allowed to distribute food past it’s Best By dates
However, that doesn’t mean it’s expired or gone bad
Bacon and other were smoked, or salted as preservative methods
Unless meat smells bad, is slimy or moldy it’s fine to eat after cooking
YES THAT'S A GREAT IDEA...why aren't we doing that
Go Alex, take that frozen stuff 😊
Most refrigerators are set at 45 degrees, if the bacon is cured it will keep very well.
My fridge is set low. It's about 38- 32 in there.
I rent and my fridge is very old so I set it low cause if not it gets too warm for my comfort.
It will freeze tea solid if I leave it in there .
You should get a large upright freezer, you could freeze tons of fruits and veggies that you find as well, it would be such a grocery budget saver!!
This is our dream! We would love to be able to have more freezer space to save more food when we find it. Maybe we will find a freezer by the trash someday *fingers crossed*
@@breafkast keep checking for free or low cost pickups online.
l'd get a small one myself. They aren't much.
We bought an upright for Christmas. It’s big enough for the 2 of us.
I bought a small one on sale for 146, with arranging it holds a lot.
12/23 I’d have filled that truck bed up!!! Meat is so expensive and it’s all frozen or cold. Alex is motivated to take a bunch more, but Kelly is like “Noooo…..” LOL! Why Kelly?
What a waste on the frozen food all them animals died for nothing😩
I know 😭😭😭😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
That was my thought animals killed for nothing, people hungry when they shouldn’t be and nowhere to donate this? I am sure it could be given to homeless shelters who will cook and use immediately but the mentality of these shops is just skip it!
Right? Quite disgusting
Poor animals 😭😭💔💔
My heart sinks at the sight of waste…❤

Glad you rescued some of this meat
I’d be grabbing the sausages and bacon for sure. Nothing wrong with that and the great totes, too. Could’ve snagged the blue bin too.
Watching the Nonstop news There’s so much going on in America that I had to take a break & go dumpster diving with y’all.
I have a relative that works in a meat depth. of a large grocery chain. They often throw out meats just because there is no room or the expiry date is a couple of days away.

Old chickens make good soup , chicken and dumplings !!
While you are out dumpster diving and might find some little wire shelves use them in your freezer to organize it better. I had the same kind of freezer and did that. It was a game changer.
Wow what alot of food just thrown away. Glad you was able to get some for you to keep. ❤
Go shop for a used freezer today! It'd be worth it! The beef probably wasn't bad. It can get brownish just from air exposure or freezer burn. You can cut that section off.
Even though the score was small I still enjoyed your video. Hi Bones 🩷 y’all stay safe and healthy. God bless you! ❤️🤗
I am sure there are some folks who have not been able to afford to buy food for themselves would love to have some of that frozen meat!!!
Yes bacons good
I would be very tempted to go buy a freezer just for meat in this situation. May sound crazy but I’m like you guys-very frugal. So sad about the waste. 😢
Omg, that furniture is nice.
That meat is vacuum packed so they are perfectly fine, the bacon 🥓 looks good to. Glad you could put meat in your freezer. 😊❤
Wow that’s great to find, fill your freezer good for years
Always fun to ride along with y'all ...hope to ride again tomorrow ..
Bacon is aged and cured so as long as it was still chilled it should be ok.
The brown on the beef is freezer burn. Freezer burn is from moist in the meat. It is edible.
Exactly, it happens in my freezer.
I love watching you guys! You always make me laugh! Such a cute couple!
You could have shared ALL OF THAT PERFECTLY GOOD MEAT with neighbors, friends and family!
😢
How would that conversation go? "Here's a bunch of food we found in the trash that we wouldn't eat, but we are giving it to YOU! 🙂"
They never said they are not going to eat it. Ugh. They took some for themselves....
Wow alot of frozen meals there good haul.
In my town, people dive after the shops close. So like late at night.
We have so many homeless wd never find a scrap😢
Bones has gotten so big ❤🐈⬛❤️
Yes chickens good there’s no freezer burn on it
It's barely a month old and it was frozen.....still good
Love your house honeys. ❤
what you guys should do is call some more dumpster divers to get things when there is too much for you. I think you all are just looking out for yourselves and what you can get out of what you find. The whole idea is to save as much as you can to keep it from going to waste.
People who matter don't judge and people who judge don't matter.
So what they're diving for themselves. Maybe you should get your judgmental ass out there and do it
Thanks!
Thank you SO much for the super thanks!! We really appreciate your support and hope you're having a wonderful day!
good 2 see u all hope ur having a great weekend
It looks like they would have donated that meat to a soup kitchen 😮

You sure can fit more in that freezer.

Anything that's been in 50° or lower temperatures is perfectly fine to take

All that meat looks good share with neighbors it's crazy to leave it
I was hoping y'all came out with a video today I was watching old ones 😊

Happy Sunday. We have so many homeless and churches that could use this food. So sad. Be safe and much love 💜
Bones is not spoiled, he is loved a lot!
That could have been called, cloudy with a chance of meat hauls.😂
Omgawddd, go back and rename the video😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Meat is expensive so today wasn't a bust in my mind well done. Keep safe
The waste from these stores is just heartbreaking ! I bet all frozen meat is just fine!!!
Hopefully another dumster diver will get some❤
I'm glad you guys got to take at least some of that meat. 🙂 The sad thing is that all those animals died for nothing 😔 Thank you for another awesome video, you guys are my favorite!
Wow!!!! Great video. ❤
I can't believe you would leave all that food behind

46 degrees is good, I would take all I could reach!!!!
Start calling family and friends and let them know about it,and tell them to go get it right away.
