But that's only if you live a normal life...
Now... Regular readers know about how my freegan journey went.
For those who don't know...
Here's how it started...
Anyway... I always thought if I would be able to replicate some sort of freegan lifestyle in Paris after I moved. It would be interesting right? Cos IF I'm able to go somewhat freegan in another country, means I could probably do this anywhere in the world...
So today... I went to... get some free food. It's not too hard if you know where to look...
-I got myself 5 strips of cured fish. Not too good. It was really salty and a lot of fine bones which are supposed to be edible. Each strip of fish is around 20cm long.
-I got myself a bunch of pork, the cuts aren't really great cuts. But it's still good meat. Can't complain there.
I got quite a lot of carrots, tomato, an onion, some potatoes, some spring onions, a chilli, some baby radish, 2 whole heads of lettuce, a bunch of ham/cured meats, and I got myself some nice fatty parts of the cured meats, so now I can use it to fry stuff. Cos I don't have oil until my shipment comes.
Oh and I got a nice flat peach and apricot.
So... this amount of food... probably will last me... 2-3 days? I'll probably need to buy some rice and pasta as staples. Don't think I can confidently say I can obtain those regularly with ease.
EUR10 for 5kg of rice isn't too expensive considering I can use it for months.
I know where to get free bread too, but I'm not a fan of bread so I think I'll most likely not collect free bread as often.
Anyway, that's all for day 3 in Paris... things have settled down quite well. I didn't expect to be able to obtain so much free food only on day 3. I thought I would take longer to find it. Looks like my costs in Paris is probably going to remain quite low.
