While I haven’t foraged for my supper in one, as a 5.75 per hour cook in my late teens and early twenties I collected a large portion of my furniture from dumpsters, including the couch that I slept on. My budget didn’t allow for some of the finer things of life such as furniture or food. It barely paid the rent considering that a large portion of my earning generally were spent on titties and beer (not always in that order).
… people just don’t get it.. you can find some good shit in dumpsters….
