As many of you know, I often bring home items (groceries) from work that are being donated or discarded due to being near or past the package "sell-by" date, and I sometimes get free food from other locations as well. Sometimes...

Hello, all! Today was my first day back to work for the year, and the culls fridge was quite full. There was a lot of oat milk yogurt (which I don't need) and lots of fancy cheeses that I didn't think we'd use up right now, but I...

Kelli M @spiderdust (14756) • San Jose, California 1 Dec 22

I hope the picture loads with this post. I reduced the resolution, so hopefully that does the trick. I'm at work and only have my phone, so I can't reduce the picture size on my computer like I usually do. Today I snagged a quart...

Kelli M @spiderdust (14756) • San Jose, California 19 Sep 21

I didn't get a whole lot of freebies from work on Friday, but at least what I did find is useful for my household: a loaf of whole wheat bread and a package of good quality hot dogs! The hot dogs are the reduced-fat variety,...

freebies from work on Labor Day

Kelli M @spiderdust (14756) • San Jose, California 6 Sep 21

Remember the days when Labor Day meant that workers had a day off to enjoy with their families, and it wasn't a day where the "essential workers" had to work because the privileged with a 3-day weekend wanted to go shopping? Yeah,...

today's work freebies

Kelli M @spiderdust (14756) • San Jose, California 3 Sep 21

It's always nice when things like hot dogs end up in the culls fridge, especially when I don't have any hot dogs left at home! I feel a little less guilty about giving this brand to the kids too, as it tends to have fewer "weird"...
