Dumpsters: The Hidden Gold Mine

[xepel]

Josh is always excellent at finding hidden treasures in the trash. We live above Walgreens, and they always throw away good things. Like the time we got 80+ boxes of Swoops. We've still got some, heh.

This time, he found 3 new containers of laundry detergent (the 4th had a leak and so they threw the whole box away), and....

Oh man, I'll take some of that shit. Provided it's not rancid.

Chocolate doesn't go bad, right?

I mean, I used to eat my halloween candy all year round when I was a kid, and I didn't turn out *that* bad...

!!! You have a cat?!

Yep! Kilala! She's awesome, when she's not being annoying. ;)

[kefka]

....by "Kilala" you of course mean "Optimus Prime," who wasn't annoying at all and adores me.

I'm glad you are never having kids - the names you'd plaster on them would get them killed one way or another.

i work at a walgreens and it's insane how much they waste waste waste. but at least someone i know is profiting from it.

[xepel]

God, yeah, me and Josh are always talking about everything they throw away. I'm guessing the employees aren't allowed to take the stuff?

[some_do_dream]

nope. federal offense. it's considered stealing from the workplace. how it's stealing, i don't know. IT'S GARBAGE!

[xepel]

That's really one of the stupidest things ever. Josh agrees.

Oh well. More good stuff for us!

[zurell]

Lordy, you know we are always willing to partake of your chocolatey goods!

[xepel]

That's why you're coming over this weekend, yes? Chocolately goodness orgy! (Minus the orgy. I don't think any of us would have too much fun with that...)

[thiran]

*I* would have lots of fun with that.

...Geez.
