Thank you for loving animals, Mike. I do not see your kind of love toward animals on my travels across the globe. I try to spread the love for animals in remote places, but it seems like I am talking to a wall. Your love, passion, compassion...and comedy, of course...is what draws me to your videos. The dumpster diving and curb side pickups are just a bonus.

@cherylhuot4436 10 месяцев назад

Interesting variety of goodies today! Sell by dates are there because the government requires it. It’s disgusting how much food is wasted because of that. If it’s properly sealed, not dented, it’s fine. Thanks Mike

@MDestron2282 10 месяцев назад

Yeah. It's criminal. I get food heavily marked down because of the "sell by" date all the time. Steaks, soup, nearly anything else and it's always fine. I'm 40 years old and I've never gotten food poisoning from "expired" food. If it smells good and looks good it's fine. Hell, even a tomato or an apple with a bruise or two is perfectly ok. The amount of waste the world produces is disgusting.

@bradmaunders1733 10 месяцев назад

And dented is fine too...only if rusted or swollen toss...or if dented on the top as that has a different seal under the lid on some...85% of what goes to food banks is past date and many are dented...eat them all the time

@davidkohler7454 10 месяцев назад

@@bradmaunders1733 we eat a lot of dented canned food too. The thing about some of the dented cans is a sharp dent can crack the coating inside the can wich exposes the food to the metal can. Especially anything with tomatoes in it the acid eats the cans in turn the food taste like metal.

@antwonstarr 10 месяцев назад

@@MDestron2282 I agree. so, i use to work at a different location of our local grocery store, so i know how their mark down system works, especially in the meat and sea food departments. i have an extra fridge with the freezer on top, and the freezer on top of that one is completely full of shrimp and scallops, and a few small lobster tails. yer damn right I will buy a $35 pack of sea scallops for $7, and take them straight home and put them in the freezer for future meals. 99 % of the time the food is still in date when they reduce it.

@jojoply 6 месяцев назад

It infuriates me how much is wasted. We never even look at dates in our pantry. I have a bionic nose if something is off, I’ll know it once it’s opened.

@pagejames8754 10 месяцев назад

It's a "best by" rather than "sell by" date. But same story ... food/drink doesn't instantly turn bad after that date. It's an estimation by the manufacturer & is generally accurate but also meant to make you buy more.

@lorieakins2843 10 месяцев назад

I lost one this month. Had her spoiled hiney for 13-14 yrs. She was a rescue. Lost another dog last year and had him at least 15 yrs. It's rough, but when they are old, it's a little easier knowing they lived their life out. We laugh about her spoiled ways and how she trained us to take care of her.

@tinabrewer_24ab12 10 месяцев назад

Great haul! That World's fair instrument I believe is a concertina. Similar to an accordion as far as billows and all goes. You have my heart felt condolences on Loudog. I have rescues and have lost a few, and it does hurt. But as others have pointed out these furkids do get better lives. I am grateful to take rescued furkids. I just love them all.

Sorry for your loss, Mike. Mike, I could be wrong but I used to install some of those smart Yale locks years ago. They simply break down, also some firmware issues happen from time to time. Since they have a motor to automatically close (I think) the motor also gives out after a while. How much for that old accordion in the box tho? Haha that's awesome.

@SimonSideburns 10 месяцев назад

We had a shop about 20 miles away from where I live that sold items that were short dated or had exceeded their best before date. Pretty reasonable prices too, except they had to close down because the landlord wanted a substantial rise in rent, and the local Council changed it so they could no longer have deliveries from the street outside, which really messed them around. The items are still good to eat or drink after that date, and the majority of items are good even a few years later. I'm sure someone else would have found and taken them to save them being thrown into landfill. At least I would hope so.

@AverageJoeShmo 10 месяцев назад

That accordion 🪗 from 1904 is easily valuable to someone out there in the music field. Also makes a good collector item, at least the one that worked. Those parts tho I would bet you could look up some accordion sights and post what you have and I'm sure someone can tell you if worth something or maybe point you to someone who refinishes old instruments and would want the parts. This off brand Gatorade knock offs are still good for shelters to give out to homeless in that heat. Sorry for your loss bud !😢

@thekingtroll2 10 месяцев назад

Great video. I tried a youtube experiment and it worked fine. I bought two 1/2 gallons of my skim milk. Both were dated to use by July 10th. I drank the first one on the 12th. It was fresh. I did not open the other one until 10 days after that. On the 22nd, I opened it even though it said to use by the 10th. So 12 days later it was absolutely still fresh. I no longer throw out milk. I used to by two and if the sell by date passed, I would throw out the un opened one. Milk is cheap here $1.28 a half gallon. Sorry about your dog. They are indeed family and keep us company and loved.
