lots of culls today!

Tweet

Today's finds in the culls areas really made up for Friday's slim pickings. In the morning, I found a box of 8 croissants, a jug of cold brew coffee with oat milk, a strawberry drinkable yogurt, a tub of spinach dip, and a layer cake with sprinkles (what they call a birthday layer cake)! But wait, there's more! Throughout the day, people in different departments brought me things as they culled them out -- the deli gave me 2 turkey sandwiches, 3 packages of sliced turkey deli meat, 1 package of sliced Black Forest ham, and half a chub of peppered turkey meat that was close to the date (which is that weird object on the right, next to the hot dogs). The produce department brought over 2 shopping carts full of tubs of greens and my department manager offered me some (I took one box of baby kale because I wasn't sure if I'd use up more than that in time). The guy who makes the sushi every day gave me a spicy tuna sushi bowl! At the end of my shift, I checked the culls fridge one last time and found some potato salad and more hot dogs. I suspect that the hot dogs that are being culled are what didn't sell over Labor Day weekend, and I think the potato salad is from the batch that I made on Friday. So much food! The sushi bowl has already been eaten, as well as the drinkable yogurt and 2 of the croissants (although I stashed the remaining ones away so I can make some breakfast sandwiches with them for tomorrow morning). My oldest stepchild just happens to have a birthday today and has already been presented with the layer cake. The peppered turkey is going to be a little tricky to use, as it is quite peppery. Maybe I'll grind it up and use it to make chili, as I already know the kids won't use it in sandwiches because they think it's too spicy. How has your day been so far? I'm about to enjoy some of this spinach dip.
