Scraping for the Goodies

Every college has a lost and found. Usually, the beginning of the new semester the colleges will give away anything that was left over from last semester. I only advise doing this at the beginning of a new semester. I don’t like the idea of taking what belongs to someone else but obviously they are never coming back for it so hey why not. You’d be surprised at what you can find…shoes that are new, jeans, shirts, jackets, scarves. You can get an entire wardrobe if you’re lucky! You may even happen to come upon a text book which you need for that semester. Really imagine, how cool it would be if you got a textbook for FREE!

We also did something similar to the “Costco Buffet” article. We would take a backpack with containers in them inside to Costco. We rounded the freebie stands and placed the food in the containers to be heated up for lunch and dinner. Of course, we did this in the bathroom where no one could see. We would also take our back pack filled with containers to Grand Openings of various stores. We would always receive a belly full of free hotdogs, hamburgers and sometimes even steaks. Lastly, we would hit up fast food places for condiments such as; creamers for our coffee, salt, pepper, ketchup, and BBQ sauce. We would also take toilet paper from public bathrooms and paper towels from This saves big bucks believe it or not.

I hope this helps all of you broke students because it did for me.
