I loved earned income credit. I don't know why we get it, but I'll take it.
Okay, here's another one: dumpster diving.
I've had friends that practice this to different degrees, but the most extreme cases really got some good finds. Well, it always seemed that way at the time, but then everything's good compared to an old soggy banana peel.
Personally I haven't been able to eat 'my catches,' from the bakeries, but my friend, who took us has served them to us plenty of times without us knowing. Ha ha.
Other guys I know find furniture and computers, just random random stuff. If you go at the end of semesters when people are moving out, some people just chuck their stuff, instead of putting them in the DI boxes (that's another discussion).
Actually I got my dishes that way. They look like they're coated with yellow sugar cookie frosting paint with flowers (if anyone's missing them). I had no way they were dumpster dived for, lol (is that the way you say that?), but when I found out, it somehow made them cooler (even though they thought I'd freak out). I made sure that I soaked them a long time though.
By the way, is it just me...or do I see Irish People?
