Ok, so part of my job working in produce is obviously to pull the rotten stuff of the shelf and toss it out. But people, even as ignorant as they are about how to pick quality vegetbales and produce, are very picky. Especially with peppers. We pull lots of peppers off the shelf, because no one will be them, even though they're still fine to eat. Since we have no compost, we either throw them in the garbage, or save them for the pig farmer who comes by each night for scraps. I enjoy helping this guy out, cuz he's definitely a nice guy. But if something is still fit for human consumption, I'm all over it. I constantly bring home food, but last night was special. I scored $45 worth of peppers. I froze them all, so I've succsefully removed the (most of the time) most expensive item of produce from my shopping list for a little while. And this is all in addition to the fruit that I eat all day long. I prefer mangoes, medjool dates, oranges and pineapple.
