Are you fucking serious?

How much could you possibly be saving by doing this??

>>13173330
I save about a few hundred dollars a month. It’s serious money and the food is usually really pretty good too.

What’s the problem with eating pre-packaged food from a dumpster?? It is PRE-PACKAGED and SEALED. Nothing gross is getting in there and contaminating the food...

I do this may 3 times a week OP. I just lay the unopened food packages in my sink and spray all of the waste off of them.

>>13173296
Why not aspire to have a life where your time is worth more than dumpster diving for food?

i hired two pakistanis to dumpster dive for me and we are reselling the food in my store at 50% life is great kek

>>13173385
Not sure whay you mean by this. My time is worth it if it saves me money.

>>13173362
A few hundred a month is not worth eating trash. Have you ever gotten sick doing this?

>>13173460
I was getting sick sometimes when I was eating food that was more than 1 month expired. Now, I only eat food thay smells fresh and isn’t more than ~4 weeks expired.

Usually you can tell if the food will hurt u by the smell

What coins do you buy with the money you save from dumpster diving

I’ll market buy 100k of all of them

>>13173296

Also we’re gonna need some posts to prove you aren’t larping

>>13173504
Pic related is basically my only “furnished” room in my apartment.

I have gotten all my furniture from the garbage. I have never bought furniture in my life because it’s a total waste of money when people literally throw it out all the time.

>>13173556
What the fuck

>>13173556
Do you sleep on the ground?

I like to drink cum. It just seems such a waste to let all that protein go to waste. Not even gay, but I do find gay men to jizz in my mouth on Craigslist when in need of money and food. Suits my lifestyle and you can meet some cool people

>>13173296
is that what happens to /biz/ at the of a bear market?

>>13173556

Nice proof of non larp

Nice neet style of living

Now show us that blockfolio

You still haven’t told us why you are doing this.

You’re all in hot and nkn right?

>>13173612
Audibly kekked while shitting, lel

>>13173645
I’m doing this because I don’t want to have a real job. I work from home doing web development work but only make about enough to cover rent ($500).

>go round the back of the local synagogue
>collect trash
>look inside

>take home
>fry up and eat
>all kinds of foreskin gainz

>>13173600
I don’t sleep “on the ground.”

I found one of those thin cushions people with back problems put over their mattress and I sleep on that.

Acrually pretty comfy with the shag rug.

>>13173729
Seriously have you tried supplementing your diet with cum?

>>13173296
just apply for food stamps dumbass. its like a debit card. i applied online and they instantly approved me and got it in the mail 4 days later.

Honestly, what in the literal fuck man? Why not work a real job for like 6mo, stack some cash and try and live on it?

>>13173673
Instead of spending several hours a week looking in bins you could learn a new framework or dev ops or backend or a new language or something that would increase your income to £500 per day. You have a good opportunity to increase your income by becoming more valuable here and you're wasting your time saving pennies.

>>13173426
If one hour of dumpster diving gets you 40 dollars of garbage food aspire to make more than 40 bucks an hour so it becomes a non issue , you can just work and then buy the food.

Are you honestly retarted ? How do you not understand a basic concept like this?

>>13173811
This. Jesus man... what are you spending most of your time on?

>>13173426
>>13173491
>fucking up your gut biome to save pennies
google gut biome brain health connection. you imbecile are destroying your brain no larp

Also solving your problems like this basically grantees ur going to be a fringe lifestyle having weirdo who has only hand sex

>>13173826
I spend most of my time watching youtube/reading/playing vidya.


My life is comfy and I only have to go searching for food once or twice a week. It's really not that bad...

>>13173556
Re-using old furniture is actually legit af, the only furniture I've ever paid full-price for is my gaming throne. Everything else I got for free from the dump or craigslist, or else got super cheap at a liquidation sale. I've spent less than 500 on all my furniture (+300 for a mattress) for a 2-bed apartment and have some nice shit - leather couches, full-sized bed, recliners etc.

>>13173822
$40/hr is like 80k a year, dumpster diving sounds based when you do the math

The absolute state of /biz/

>>13173839
How does eating good food destroy my brain? Lmao you know nothing about how the body uses food. For most of our species existence, we ate raw meat and foraged for food.

>>13173881
How much hours daily on average do you put in? Are you able to save anything at the end of the month? Besides rent, what else are you spending the money on?

>>13173885
>leather couches, full-sized bed, recliners etc.
Thousand times this. Got 2 leather Natuzzi recliners for like 7% of their retail price.

>>13173953
I am not able to save much. I have the gas in my apartment turned off and I rarely use electricity (unless my apartment is below 50 degrees).

However, I am able to make a bit of extra money on the side selling things I find in the trash on craigslist.

I only spend maybe 2-4 hours a week looking for food.

>>13173767
Your spending other people’s money because you are too lazy to work for your own. This is what a parasite is.

>>13173996
I meant how much you spend working? The web dev gig. Also how do you cope with the fact you are undateable and also not being able to afford to pay for sex?

>>13173767
Are food stamps bound to identity? If not, how much do they cost on secondary market?

Instead of dumpster diving you could just fast several times a week and eat better food. I only eat on my work days and on the weekends I fast but I do drink some water or coffee on those days.

>>13174058
Do you even lift?

>>13173402
Hahahahah this man is a true biznessman.

>>13173839
learn about your GUT BIOME faggot - what you eat influences all the bacteria and how well you are able to break down food e.g. how much nutrients your gut can actually extract.

How does it destroy your brain? Eating shit = fucking up your brain chemistry = fucked up hormonal signalling, neurotransmitters, etc

>>13174025
I only spend about 5-10 hours a week doing web development work. I just update a few websites with relevant information each month.

It’s not complicated or difficult work by any means.

Yea that doesn’t make any sense. Food is food. What do you think is in the food that i am eating? It’s exactly the same as the food sold in the store except it’s a little bit older

>>13174091
I work at a factory with a lot of heavy lifting, does that count?

>>13173904
Exactly.

Pic related is my living room. I’m still looking for a couch but all the ones I can find smell bad or are wet.

>>13174225
Your life seems depressing. Have you even had sex or if you have, how??

Did you find your house in the garbage too Anon? What kind of work do you do? How much do you make? Where are your parents? How old are you? Are you a virgin? You doing ok? So many questions

>>13174268
At least he's not neeting it up at his parents'

Why is everyone on this board concerned about appearances like women? Honestly OP you do you. There are actually women who are even into frugal living and do the same things. Sometimes to an even bigger extreme like hunting their own food and even foraging. They tend to make good wives since they make a lot of things from scratch. I lived out in a rural community and lots of people lived like this, with barely anything in their homes. (and a couple of crazy hoarders)

>>13174225
Include me in the screencap

>>13174268
>Did you find your house in the garbage too Anon?
Not too sure what you mean by this

>What kind of work do you do?
web dev

>How much do you make?
~$500 a month. Sometimes I have months when i make more and sometimes when I make less.

>Where are your parents?
Basically homeless/live in another state

>How old are you?
20

>Are you a virgin?
No

>You doing ok?
Yea? In fact my life is comfy.

>>13174297
Where?

>>13173296
Bro you're not frugal
You're a cheapskate

>>13174225
You will never get laid. Nesting is some bullshit , but gotta do it for pussy.

>>13173885
>my gaming throne
What do you have?

>>13174364
Wrong and I think it’s funny beta males actually believe this.

I have hooked up with multiple women using dating apps. All I do is ask them if I can come over to their apartment and watch a movie. I workout a few times a week by running up/down hills near my apartment so I am in decent shape.

I find it absolutely hilarious that you guys actually believe that you need shit to impress women. Long-term dating, maybe. Hook ups? Definitely not.

>>13174402
Wait is OP a based nomad frugal alpha?

>>13174402
Wow you can pull low tier roasties off dating apps.
When you are done with empty sex and hookers you gotta nest, don't act like you have the world all figured out because you live in an empty apartment and eat food out of a dumpster.
This phase of you life will end one day and you won't be such a cocky little prick.

>>13174402
OP what are your all-time favourite movies and albums?

Lol

>>13174255
See >>13174402

The main issue I have with getting laid is avoiding dinners/areas where I’ll be obligated to spend money. Usually though, I can just tell the girl that I’ll come over to her place and cook her dinner and usually they find that pretty sweet anyway

>>13174038
people sell foodstamps all the time. You pay the person with the card, then take the card from them and go into the store. it's difficult to find a platform to buy them from tho.

>>13174482
You are literally feeding women off tinder food you find in the dumpster ?

>>13173612

Most criminally underrated post ITT. I laughed so hard at “meet some cool people.” Well played.

>>13174472
Generation Zero is my favorite movie. It's about generational theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss%E2%80%93Howe_generational_theory).). Highly recommend watching it. I don't really listen to music apart from when I'm working out.

>>13173556

How fucked up is your back?

>>13173296
Bro if you're serious about frugality and have a few pounds to lose just mix some baking soda, no-salt and table salt in a few liters of water and begin fasting for days on end, drinking your salt water while you save hundreds of bucks a month and eat good food every five days instead of digging in the trash like a mong.

>>13174549
Read Friedmans The Next 100 Years if you are interested in american cycles

This is one of the more wild poasts ive seen on here lol holy shit

This is level 100 NEETism

>>13174470
something tells me you're older than OP and accomplished less than him dating-wise
he's really not cocky at all and you need to get your head out of your ass if you don't want to wake up one day and realise your life is almost over with nothing to show for it

>>13174640
>one of the more wild poasts ive seen on here
You are rather new here, aren't you? Lurk moar

>>13174657

wtf am I looking at

>>13174657
4 years

I'm convinced that frugal people are dumb if not mentally ill. It's one thing being good at budgeting money but it's another thing living like a stray dog. The reality is frugal people aren't good at making money so they resort to cringe shit like dumpster diving. The most annoying thing is that they always have to let everyone know how frugal they are and look down on people who like to spend money on nice things. It's like their personality revolves around being frugal as possible.

>>13174764
Drug abuse

>>13174657
fucking filth holy shit

>>13174794
There's a difference between being frugal, buying potato, oats and drinking lots of water compare to living like your practicing for the post apocalypse.

>>13174794
buffett is frugal

>>13174823
I'm sure buffett gets all his meals at the landfill

>>13174567
Not into fasting. I'm a tall guy and need all the calories I can get lol

>>13174796

This place is a chamber of mental illness

>>13174886
he does.

>>13174823
Either he's just content with what he has or he does it for the public image. Public image is good for the business after all.

>>13174886
Yeah, he has breakfast at Mc'Donalds everyday

>>13173296
The irony, this is the most active thread on /biz/

>>13175030
This and the sex doll thread.

>>13174144

The parasites in his brain have already gotten to him. It's no use.

>>13174297

Since when did women care about how your place looks? You know how hard it is to find a guy with a job car n their own place.

Legit kek

>>13174567
Dont do this op. Its mustard gas

>>13175065
Are people here just jealous that I live a great life that is practically filled with free time?

What's with all this negativity?

>>13174364

These pictures are horrifying

>>13173629
Yes unironically

>>13173296
Op, are you srsly content with your life and have no ambitions? It’s one thing to feel comfy, but you sound like you’re aimless. What are you doing on /biz/?

Also do you have friends? What do they think about your lifestyle?

>>13175177
Don’t listen to them, this is based.

My brother actually lived in the woods for a while, now he’s in a mental rehab place at the prompt of my parents, but he’s still wholly dedicated to getting a tent and continuing living outside when he gets out. My mom is absolutely freaked out about what will happen when he does.

>>13174225

>muh sex
>muh roasties
Holy fuck do you faggots even know where you are? Unironically kill yourselves

>>13175425
I'm not aimless. I'm enjoying my life by expanding my mind through books, podcasts, and videos. Most of my friends still live with their parents and think it's cool that I live alone and work online. Of course, I don't tell them about everything lol

oy

>>13175494
And what are your goals in life?

>>13175177
Id like to see you challenge yourself more OPand maybe not eat garbage anymore but i think this is kinda based desu

>>13175494
>books, podcasts, and videos
What kind?

>>13174297
>Why is everyone on this board concerned about appearances like women?
nu-biz is full of stupid normie cucks who worship pussy

I wish I never found 4chan.

>>13175577
My primary goal in life is to do exactly what I want and be happy in doing that. I'm accomplishing that right now.

>>13175643
>books
Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Thomas Sowell, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean Paul Sartre, Thomas Pynchon, Jacques Derrida, Ayn Rand, Soren Kierkegaard, and Michel Foucault. Probably many others but those are just the names that come to mind at the moment.

>podcasts, and videos
I don't listen to too many podcasts or watch many videos (low bandwidth connection since I wifi tether) but the few that come to mind are philosophy bites, freedomain radio, the partially examined life, joe rogan, and sam harris

>>13175834
Ok OP this confirmed it for me. You are a based nomad alpha

>>13175451
rustpilled? do you think there is rust in my apartment or something lol

>>13176214
Rust is the first name of a character from true detective.

>>13176241
Ah ok thanks for the compliment :)

Learn how to shoplift

>>13176795
I refuse to do things I do not want to do, and that includes shop lifting or committing crimes.

I find criminals to be absolutely pathetic.
