Freegan Sandwich Remix

Turkey Avocado Bacon Egg Sandwich

Made entirely with my recent freegan finds:

All I had to do was microwave and put in sandwich, this is why I love being a freegan!  I've find that not only have I probably not bought groceries in ages I don't even have to waste time cooking!  And I am not sacrificing nutrition because all my dives happen at super healthy fancy places in NYC.

Greek Style Crab Meat Pasta Salad

The Crab Salad I got from my last Freegan Haul had feta cheese in it already.. so all I had to do is add it too pasta with a little bit of vinegrette dressing and bam delicious Greek Style Crab Pasta Salad.

Lentil Soup with Whole Wheat Pita Bread

Put some of this amazing Lentil Soup I got from a freegan haul from a fancy lunch spot and  toasted a pita bread from another haul and instant healthy vegetarian meal!

Greek Yogurt Freegan Haul

It's been a while since I've found yogurt so getting Greek Yogurt as even better.  I got 8 of the Chobani Flip can you believe the store sold them for $1.99 each.  And the the big tub is Artisan Yogurt lol only in NYC right.  Well I took as much as I could carry because yogurt you can freeze and use to eat or for smoothies.  Retail value on Yogurts alone $35 at least crazy right?  

Actually its sounds weird but the main reason, I went out for this haul was I needed Banana's.  I was really happy to find the yogurt with banana flavors and happy to leave after I got this one super new banana.  I honestly can't believe they threw it out.

There was just so much stuff and we'd only gone through a 1/3 of the bags.  Lots of crab meat salad, grapes, a mango, green beens, and boxed turkey avocado salad along with boxed kale red cabbage. This stuff alone estimate is about $80.

And I got ten of these Crabmeat Salads that sell for about $5 each!

It was a great seafood night for me.  I actually got 2 Cajun boxed Shrimp Salads that sold for over $7 each and had a sell by date of June crazy. Either way food storage wise I cooked those "fresh baby shrimps" immediately when I got home.

In total this one spot had a haul worth $120!!!! That I got for free!

And I went one more spot as well...

I got lots of bread, and 3 sandwiches, along with 2 more wraps, estimate $25 worth of stuff!

The other reason, I went on this haul was my monthly metrocard ran out today, so I wanted to get the most bang for my buck.  After today, I will take a break to eat all this stuff because my fridge is packed!

Free Beer Haul

Isn't Ironic a few days ago, I posted about how hard it was to find liquids and this haul was almost all liquids.

This day was so upsetting because we had to leave behind so many cases of beer and soda still in their moving boxes.  Thats the difference btwn NYC and other places, NO CAR!

I'd say this haul was worth about $60, its Six point beer not cheap stuff and the Illy Coffee is super expensive stuff too.

It was a busy week and these photo's I took way after because I was just busy that week.  But I do remember getting the below from my favorite chain place along with cookies.

Final Haul from My Favorite Food Rescue Spot

So bummed that my favorite spot closed and this was the last seriously EPIC haul.  It was so huge that SERIOUSLY, that I have to do 3 pics separately for the haul.  And one freegan who came out of semi retirement was so psyched that we ended having to take a cab because it was just too much to carry.

I sectioned this pic as random stuff like a whole cantolope and pre made Chicken Breasts, and strings and perfectly good Garbage bags.  To give you and idea of how large this haul was lots of other people were diving too and me and my buddies split all the stuff among the 3 of us.

The was tons of fancy glass drinks still in the cases we had to take out for easier transporting.  I am so excited about the Ginger Beer and Shandy!  I didn't take many of the speciality flavored sodas like Jones or Starfruit sodas, but others did.  So bummed I had to leave the Vegan Cookie dough ice cream and tons other ice cream behind in their orginal shipping packing :( 

Anyways there was so much stuff I'm posting close ups.

This haul was epic for all the perfectly packaged cheese.. Even split among 3 of us, I took home 6 packs of string cheese, 4 packs of sliced Swiss/Mozerella  and one pack of shredded Mozarella cheese. A total of 11 packs of cheese, easily worth $55.

And the chocolate, there was tons of fancy Dark Chocolate bars and Toberones.

And the sweetest finds was all the healthy organic like dry snacks below!

And I was super psyched about the churros and italian pasteries, (just like the ones you can get in ITALY).

And lets not forget for VEGANS, the best treasure was a shipping box full of still frozen Tofutti Cream Cheese Substitute!  I took like 5 because the expiration was so far ahead.

Tofurky Recipe So Amazing

One of the best things about being Freegan in NYC is the amazin high end foods you find that allow you to try new foods.  So I found a brand new package of Tofurky Roast , I threw out the box to make space in my bag but it was perfectly frozen even when I got home.  

So Tofurky its a Vegetarian Turkey made of tofu and other amazing all organic ingredients.

This is what it looks like not exciting but boy is it worth it.

This recipe is so easy too.

I didn't have potato's so I just chopped 3 celerie sticks, 2 handfuls of baby carrots, 1/2 onion and put at the bottom of your casserole dish.

Then I put the Tofurky on top. Created a baste of 3 TBS oil, 1 TBS soy sauce, a dash of garlic powder and pepper.  Pour half of mixture on Tofurky.  Cover dish and bake for 1 1/4 Hour at 400 Degrees.

At an hour past, cover and pour rest of baste on.

Return back to oven till cooking time is over.

Then cook gravy on stove top.

Review: this Tofurky is amazing, it tastes not exactly like Turkey but to me its even better!
