Dumpster Diving at KROGER for the First Time! Food, Drinks, and More Rescued!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Wow I can’t believe we actually found a dumpster behind Kroger!! They always have a compactor.. so it’s either currently not working, or they just had so much to throw away they needed both. It’s a small peek into the amount of good food and beverage items that corporations throw away on a daily basis. This is my biggest motivator to be a dumpster diver - to rescue items that should never have been put in the trash in the first place!
Everything we found today will be donated and given away to the community for free. The shoes and baby items have already been picked up, and the sodas will be taken to the free pantries in town tomorrow! As always, thank you so much for watching out dumpster dive adventures and I hope you have a wonderful day! xoxo

I dumpster dived regularly in the 70's to help support my kids as a single mother. To save myself time and trouble I use to layer the top of the dumpster with flat cardboard so at a glance on another day that week I could tell what was new no muss no fuss. just a thought, thx for video Love and blessings
Amazing idea!! Why can’t they all think like this!
I gave you the most respect for being a single mother to take care of your kids may God bless you for being a strong woman
Good tip, thanks
great idea as a way to mark your dumpster!
That’s so smart, you sound like a cool, resourceful lady!
I worked at Kroger years ago in the Deli Dept. It was located right next to the Produce Dept. I was Beyond Shocked at the Perfectly Good Food being Thrown Out. When New Shipments of food came in, like the Deli, Bakery, Produce, Fish, Meat and Dairy, the Still Good Food would be Tossed into the Trash Compactor and Crushed. After seeing the Horrific Waste for 5 yrs. I finally walked out. On my last day, I was told to Toss Out 9- 3lb. solid meat hams. I said NO, I Won't do that!! There are too many Hungry People out there. Of course, I was being a "Difficult Employee"!! Every Grocery Store Does This!! Tons of Good Food Wasted Every Day!! Also Restaurants, Fast Food Chains too, everyday!! Not One Person Would Have to go Hungry in this Country. It's Sickening What They Do!!
It is very sad, but they always give the excuse of if someone gets sick they can sue them. I don’t know how much truth there is to that. Our local Publix does give their day old bread to our thrift store.
Yeah I couldn’t work for a place that did that either…you were smart to leave
At a metro grocery store I always hear an employee come out to tell a homeless person the manager will be out soon to give u food
@@lisa-bw9je that’s so good to hear. It seems they might be a little more relaxed at the smaller stores.
Hi from Canada, I am a silent viewer and rarely comment,but I must say I love watching your videos, your such a happy go lucky person whos joy and kindness brings smiles to my heart.Keep being you never change who you are.❤😀👍
I live in Canada. There are a lot of grocery stores in my city that donate their day old bakery bread. They also freeze meats that didnt sell and give them to the local churches and food banks. Hopefully more grocery food chains do the same. So many people go hungry when they dont have too. You are absolutely right about how much food went to waste in that big dumpster. So sad.
Love watching you guys rescue stuff....especially food....I have a friend who was a manager of a local grocery store....he said it was horrific the amount of perfectly good food his company forced him to throw out.....he would try to turn a blind eye on people who would dive to rescue it but his higher upside used to threaten his job if he didn't run them off.....it's just so sad when so many could use that food....we could solve hunger in this country with the waste of these corporations.....as a person who went hungry before in my life it just makes me so angry! Keep doing what you do.....every little bit makes a difference ❤
I live in England and we have several dumpster diving people " being streetwise " " Living free " follow them to see what they get. They have found food donations centres throw away food that they could donate to families in need. One of our big supermarkets / clothes/ home furniture shop M&S are supposed to have policies that they don't throw away food policy, but they do.
I'm so glad you now have someone with you regularly. I used to worry about you getting hurt or incapacitated inside one of those & not having anyone around to yell to for help. I go totally mom mode when I see kids climbing around trash because I hurt my knee badly doing something similar as a child & it's never fully healed. Take care, Sweetie!
Every thing you find. Is a save from the landfill! And will help some one else! You guys are awesome and so much fun!
Great haul kiddos and I absolutely love that you two are diving together.
It makes me sad how much groceries are thrown away everyday so thank you for doing what you do!
Love your videos and I love that Alex is with you. It's safer for you. I applaud your manual labor in saving items from the landfill and restocking Little Free Pantries. I get nervous for you when you crawl into dumpsters. Please be careful of broken glass, sharp items, etc.
You can check eggs by putting them in a bowl of water. If they float they’re bad and if they sink they’re supposed to be fine!
It's a pleasure to watch you both. Great finds. I love the curb alerts. It gives everybody a fair shot. Continued health and blessings.
My boys, who turn 19 tomorrow, had that same toy car garage when they were little. 😊 It made my heart so happy seeing it in your video 😊 Have a blessed day ❤
Score! I love watching you - you two bring a ray of sunshine into my life as I am working (I have my own business). I saw all those eggs. You know how to test an egg for freshness right? First smell them if suspect. Look for cracks. If cracked, throw it out. As an egg gets older it gets more air inside, the air pocket will be at the larger end. You get a big pan or bowl and put the eggs in there...water needs to cover them plus a couple inches. The fresh eggs will lay down at the bottom in a horizontal position, the more air in them the more they float. If they got all the way to the top it is stale and throw it out. If it starts floating to the top these are best to make hard boiled eggs out of. On a carton you want to see the "packing date", which tells more than the sell by date, they should be used within 3 weeks, but can be used up to 5 weeks stored in a refrigerator. Once hard-boiled can store up to 1 week more. You can even freeze eggs but I've never done this myself, I hear you wisk them, but not too much because if they get frothy. You can get a plastic zip bag and put like 4 wisked eggs in a bag, and mark the bag wit the date. When ready to use run under warm water to thaw. hope that helps, but you probably already knew all this. Even if they are bad - floaters...they are still great for gardening. I heard that if you plant a tomato plant - already started, throw an egg down in the bottom of the hole when planting to help it grow. Ok back to watching what else you find!
So happy for your finds!🎉🎉🎉 I can't believe you found so much at kroger!!!
Not a bad haul guys. You two are to cute diving together. Makes my day watching y’all. Thanks for sharing. Hugs to you both 🥰
Hi God 🙏 bless ❤️ like seeing you and your husband doing dumpster driving 🙂
Alex makes you so happy you glow
I've been pretty upset about that whole concept all night. I looked in two different Aldi's dumpsters tonight and there was so much wasted food. 30 packages of chicken legs three or four of them were cold the rest were room temperature. So many grapes so many coleslaws and salads and peppers. Then I went to a Dollar general and there were over 30 gallons of milk that they had opened poured a little bit out of and put the lid back on so goodness nobody else could use and they couldn't donate it to a food pantry apparently. I've just been incensed.
All those chickens that died for nothing :(
@@melaniestevens3557 there is also the human factor of the work that went into processing, too, just discarded. I do feel the most horror for the critters!, And the hungry people who could have had food.
FYI eggs can be frozen i freeze in groups of 3 or 1 depending one how much extra I have. Great saves❤🌹
Good day!! Love that you found all that and can give it to people that need it. When you went that big dumpster I was afraid you would sink down to your neck...lol...watching you swinging those boxes of drinks I thought "she does not have to go to the gym" you got quite a work out!! Love to watch you two out enjoying the fresh air and laughing together!!
My dad, 1st step mom and I used to dumpster dive in the 80s at one store, we came away with a case of lunch meat once, just threw it in the freezer kept for a long time. We'd do it around Easter time and get dozens of eggs that had a single egg broken in it and candy from the barrels that they sold by the pound in the bags they were in
You are like a fearless female Indiana Jones character hunting for most treasure, throwing your whole being into the search! Love it, you go gurl!
Our grocery stores here in Jacksonville FL, donate to local food banks. I have been to a food bank that has foods from Publix, whole foods, Walmart.
Our Kroger takes broken cases like that and sells the drinks individually or tapes the end and discounts them.
I was wondering about that.. it seems like they could stock the front drink coolers or have them shelved individually! I'm glad your store does that.
It really is sad that stores will trash food .... proud of y'all for making a difference and trying to save what you can ...
Great team work.
Saving stuff from the landfill.
Greetings from England
it would be interesting to do a total of the haul...especially now with food prices so crazy and full cases out like that!
We would probably all faint knowing the prices of what is put in the garbage, sigh.
@@loriwooten5249 it really is a sin to waste....I agree ...they has 80 cans of cola and they would sell individually at a cornerstore for a buck each alone...
I've been busy in the morning doing laundry and cleaning up my house so I'm just starting to watch you now hope you guys are having a great dumpster dive enjoy your lives and have a great day
I’m glad you were able to rescue all those beverages. It boggles my mind how much is wasted in America. We haven’t made here. There should not be that much waste. It’s a shame.
My grandmother used to go buy bread at the discount bread store because she would feed some to the birds. And it was nice to get discounted breads and pies, so because she would get bread for the birds it became called the ( bird bread store) lol. Sadly those stores closed and so no more discounted breads and pastries. My sister dumpster dives and finds great stuff.
I am so glad you found so much today.Good job,guys!🥰
Make the bowl into a birdbath!
Love watching u and ur husband diving and that u put things out for other people
Awesome Kroger. Put on the list. Keep check Kroger Dumpter. Save from Landfill. We love your video. Have a Amazing Day..
Don't forget to Donate blankets to shelters. You two are doing a wonderful job.
Donate
Happy for you both. Found so much!!
Your hair is lovely today.
Love the Kroger store near me. All through the store they have discounted items and don't toss. I always go through looking for their whoo hoo labels on those items.
Awesome haul!!!!! Kelly I'm really happy looking you diving with Alex, I can see that you guys are adorable with each other ❤️ 💕 and your eyes have a special bright 🌞 congratulations on you're findings and the only thing I can say is I NEED SOME OF THOSE DRINKS God bless you both 💖
George Price was a cartoonist for The New Yorker. Great find!
we have a silly amount of ducks and chickens...that bread would have been in our truck. We are also fortunate that the Amish grocery store we use gives us boxes of produce thay feel past sell...most still looks perfect...and yes, we donate a lot of eggs
Once again lots of good finds, have fun guys!!
Do ya'll ever check dumpsters at Walgreens, CVS, Dollar General, Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, Rite Aid, etc., if you have them or stores like them. Other divers find cereal, chips, drinks, bread there.
Hey Kelly & Alex! Good dive! You guys are awesome and kind! The expression on your face at Krogers dumpster was priceless ❤️
After 19:00
Puffball mushroom are eatable; just as long as the centers are white.
When the insides change color….it can actually puff the inside at you if you squish it.😱(Alex probably already knew this.)
I really like watching you with your husband, you seem more happy. Love your videos.
OMG, that toy you found in the last dumpster is a little people car wash/garage, my youngest son (now 19) had that when he was 3yrs old, his older sister got it him for his birthday, brought back memories of the fun he used to have with it.
I saved it and passed it down to my grandkids and now they are older it went to a charity shop.
Nice hall, especially with the kids shoes.
Stay safe from Nottingham England.
There is a place that you can ship donations of single shoes. The shoes are given to places for people that may only have one foot. Whether born that way or had accidents that cause them to only have one limb.
I absolutely love u both. U bright up my day. U have good souls. I would love to do what u doing to help others worse off. It’s crazy what shops throughout in the rubbish with so many people starving. Keep on doing what u doing. U great 😊
Love that you guys save so much stuff! ❤️❤️
My friend started a job at $G, and she takes stuff they throw away and donates the food, drinks to free pantries and donates other stuff to people who cannot afford stuff.
That is wonderful! 💗
Hi Kelly and Alex Wow you got a lot of good stuff today. You two are awesome helping others ❤️ Blessings take care. 🙏 Oh and by the way Kelly your hair is so beautiful. It is so long and beautiful.!! Your friend Joyce from California ❤️
Wow lady you look awesome today love your hair. Alex so nice to see you more you both have such fun together . Keep up the great work you both do . Enjoy when you are both together.
That deep red colored bowl is great! Looks old! Very unique. Many ppl would gladly take those coffees.
Our Kroger's is really good about marking down items (I've picked up 12 packs of soda for .09 cents in the clearance, cheerio's for .20 cents a box. and so on.) We also have several food pantries and banks and church's that go to the Kroger's stores every evening and are allowed to load up as much product as they want before it goes into the dumpster. However, Hy-vee, Aldi's, Dollar General, Dollar tree and Walmart donate very little if anything. Also our papa Johns will give out any of their products that didn't sell at closing time.
wow that’s really cool I used to work at Kroger and then they merged with Harris teeter 15 years ago and they payed every one off happy that they are still in Texas though
Oh interesting.. They’re like, the main store I think of as a grocery store here!
The way to check eggs if they are good. Put them in water, if the float to the top they are bad. If the eggs sink they are good!
I absolutely love the way you just dive-in the dumpster! No hesitation. Just go for it! Way to go girl! I felt your adrenaline! Thankful you were able to rescue the food! Great haul! ❣️
Nice eggs haul! All the pop too! A lot of people will appreciate your finds. Love watching both of you having some laughs and fun!
You could put the eggs inside of your truck, it would probably be cooler than in the truck bed. I always crack each egg individually in a cup to make sure it is good. My parents raised chickens and sold eggs.
be careful with clothes from the dumpster. my friend found a baby carrier in a dumpster but in looking it over it had bed bugs in it.
FUN SPONGE
Sad those things are hard to get rid of too
Well hopefully people have enough sense to wash them.
Awesome haul young lady! I love that Alex and you get to dive a lot more together. Great video as always. Thanks so much for sharing
I miss those days 😪 lol in the 80's to 90's and a little over lol. I did this with my late mom when I could climb in the trash cans now I can't being close to my fiftys.. I am 48. The trash sometimes have some good stuff in them that's for sure. But sweet finds good for you.
You can fry the puff ball mushrooms and eat them. As long as there white on the inside. Look them up.. TFS.nice haul..
Eggs can be frozen, so if you ever find a bunch again grab them!! You take them out of the shell you can either freeze them in an ice cube tray then pop them out and put them in a ziplock. Or you can just crack 3 or 4 to a small ziplock and freeze them!
Don't know if your area has Aldi, but a RUclipsr dives at her local Aldis and the amount of food thrown out is amazing (actually disgusting that so much is wasted during these hungry times).
These Big Food Chains DON'T CARE!! It's Not Their Job to Care!! They Don't Go Hungry and it's Not Even a Thought about the People on the Street who haven't eaten in days. They go to bed with a Full Gut and that's all that Matters.
I could say from all the dumpster diving experience I have, those chairs could of broke or the store intentionally destroyed them. There for a long time I went to Dollar General, then one day they destroyed the items, I used to not take the items at all, yet when you are poor, you don't care if they take a box blade to the items, I started taking those items from Dollar General they cut open for more than a year now! 🤔🤔🤔
Y’all did well n saved a bunch of stuff from going to the landfill.
I've wondered why they don't pull products a week before and donate those products
Here in Georgia they have compactors for Kroger which is sad but in some of the stores you may find not a compactor and wow I'm shocked to say that after all the years I have dumpster dive it's just amazing about all the waste the day just throw out where the stuff can be used for others who are hungry and there's been many a time I have dumpster dive and I tell you I have found so much stuff.
Put the eggs in cold water if they sink to the bottom of the bowl they’re fresh if they float they’re not good they’re bad
I got some of that exact ice coffee and it was yummy and I was HOPPING, but I was SHOCKED to see on the label that it has more than 300mg of caffeine per 12oz. Like way more than an energy drink but there's no warning label or anything. I mean, I still drank it, but that's a lot without indicating it as part of the branding.
The greedy store probably broke the chairs! Adding to landfill problem!!
That makes me so mad because there is a lot of people that could use that stuff thanks for what you guys are doing ❤️❤️❤️
I wash my kiddos shoes inside of a pillow case Or one of those bags new bed sheets come in. And the sit out in sunshine to dry. Good finds, keep up the great work😁🤗
Thank you so much for saving that big haul. I wish that they would just donate that stuff but at the end of the day, it's theirs to do what they want. unfortunately.
I would be glad to have some of that stuff❤ nice of you both ❤❤
Hi, just wanted you to know you need to go to Save a Lots and dollar general, and Ald's. Those are the ones who have a lot to get. I don't know if there's any of these around you but it's worth the trip. Good luck! 😀
Awesome drink score, going to come in handy for all those hot days coming up. Stay cool guys and take care! Thanks for sharing the video
I want to say I believe you can donate single shoes to certain places for people who don't have both limbs. If I find the information. I will let you know. I've heard others say they've done that before which I think is neat.
We have ducks and chickens. We don’t refrigerate our eggs and they can last a good month left out on the sink counter.
Awesome 👍🏾,the egg test... place the egg submerged in water, if the egg lays down, it's good, when it stands up, good but need to consume,if it floats,toss not good 🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We did and they were all flat on the bottom!! 😊 We’ve had some, too, and they’re delicious!
Lol I should look at all the comments and make sure I’m not repeating others lol!❤️😂
Good thinking on leaving lighter things, Alex! It’s always risky to leave stuff bc if a store employee sees they’ll just throw it back but I try to do the same thing just hide it a bit lol
I wish that Kroger I have gotten too before did not have a compactor! I remember around the first time I went before I knew they had a compactor, someone left some bread out for anyone to take. I was happy to see that. Compactors should be banned on all levels, destroying perfectly good merchandise and food, sending items to the landfill, it's not right and that should be illegal! 🤔
Some of those drink mixers are great with tea!
Crack the eggs and scramble them. Pour into ice trays and freeze. When frozen pop out and put in baggies. 1 cube =1 egg. Thaw for scrambled eggs, to put in cakes, etc.
Watching from CA and it's in the mid 70s the rest of the week. Love the dives.
Great haul you guys. I always wanted to DD but never had time. I'm living vicariously through you guys. Your fun to watch.
* Looks like you followed another Diver most of today.. Missed so much.. Hope they found & Used good stuff.. ~ OMG ~ Cutting the bottoms off all those Ajax was CRUEL.. Such Greedy Stores...
Grocery stores, dollar general, big lots, dollar tree, aldi seem to be the best places to go. Its amazing with all the food shortages going on why in the world are the stores throwing out all that good food?
Good job, you guys are great together! Such good hearts!
Great haul!! Team work!!!! You and Alex did awesome. Great curb alert items and blessings to you both❤❤
Those chairs do not even look trustworthy to sit in. And I like Home Goods they have some really nice looking things. Nice day on your findings. Also look for the trash bag that is normally by the register that they throw the gift cards in after a cudtomer uses them And sometimes there is still money on them. Those childrens shoes are so cute.
If the eggs are good you can freeze them. And all you have to do is put them in water. If they float they are bad if they stay on the bottom they are good.
Good to give Hungary dogs!!!!!
I just found you yesterday and was up until 2am watching your videos. I love the college videos. Oh and I'm I'm Terrell Texas not far from you. When you have another yard sale I'm there.
Yall are killin it with the videos.love it.
We use to have a lot of those bread stores and sadly they slowly disappeared
Good evening from South Africa
I learned something the other week if you go to a mall car park and you see stuff beside their bin grab it cause when you leave it till you come out of the mall to get later it will not be there
Hey Kelly & Alex! Quick question, do you ever find bag fills of receipts when you go diving? There’s an app where you get paid to scan in receipts and it can be your own or ones that you find. I think the diver salty Stella does it and mentioned it on her tiktok ♥️ love your latest videos! 😍😍
What's the app??
omg is it Fetch Rewards?? My sister uses that app all the time and loves it! I never gave it a real try, but the idea of scanning found receipts makes me want to get back into it! Thanks for reminding me 😍
Fetch, Ibotta, Checkout 51, and one something Hog...I don't remember which one has a limit on same company receipts they'll accept in a row. It allowed a pretty good amount.
If you find receipts for food places like Chick fil A and you have a rewards signed up , you can scan the new receipt
I'm not sure that I understand the concept of this. You are scanning receipts from places you've been and not been and you get PAID for it ? Is it a lot or a few cents each ? Due to health issues in my home we have to run to several stores each week so I would like to know.
