Actually, I eat out the garbage at home! Not as bad as you might think. See my wife got food poisoning many years ago and it damn near killed her so she won't eat food that has been stored for more than a day. She's really completely paranoid about it. She throws all sorts of perfectly good food away. The other day I found a whole loaf of bread in there. It was only three days old for the love of god! It wasn't even stale! (though she claimed it was) Bannannas go as soon as they get a brown spot and take-out food's got about a 12 hour window (in the fridge) before its history. This is why I try to let HER pay for the groceries. I'm not paying for food that will just be thrown away. Pretty much all the leftovers become mine. Of course I don't dig around the coffee grounds and muck for a quick snack but anything still in the wrapper/container that's on top and hasn't been there long gets retrived for inspection before being tossed out. I just can't stand wasting food.
