I cruise my town after finals week in June to pick up free furniture and other things people have left on the curb. I have a station wagon; this makes it easy. College students frequently swap or pass things on. It's cheaper and you end up with some really cool stuff sometimes.
I wouldn't dumpster dive for food, though. Shopping at Grocery Outlet is sometimes close enough.
