Who Are We?
We are a humble fellowship of believers who have discovered a profound spiritual truth: society throws away absolutely loads of perfectly good food, and frankly it would be a sin not to eat it.
While others queue at the supermarket checkout like sheep without a shepherd, we are around the back, elbow-deep in providence. We call it bin diving. We call it skip salvation. We call it Tuesday.
"And lo, the supermarket did bin the yoghurts at 6pm sharp, though they expireth not until Thursday. And the faithful did feast." — The Book of Lidl, Chapter 3, Verse 2-for-1
Our Three Pillars
Faith
Faith that the bin shall provide. Faith that the cling film held. Faith that the "best before" date is merely a suggestion from a coward.
The Bin
The bin is not an ending. The bin is a beginning. Every wheelie bin is a manger, and every manger may contain artisan sourdough.
Bin Maxing
The ancient discipline of maximising one's bin yield. Train your reflexes in our sacred game and ascend the ranks from Bin Curious to Dumpster Deity.
Why Bins?
The world asks us: "Why do you get your food out of bins?" And we ask the world: "Why do YOU pay £4.50 for a meal deal when the same meal deal is available, free of charge, approximately nine feet away, lightly chilled by the night air?"
Supermarkets throw away millions of tonnes of food a year. We see this not as waste, but as a buffet with extra steps. A loaves-and-fishes situation, except the loaves are tiger bread and the fishes are sushi that was reduced to 20p and then, scandalously, binned anyway.
"Give us this day our daily bread. Honestly any bread. The bakery bin has ciabatta, focaccia, those little knotted ones. We are not fussy." — The Skip Prayer
Tonight's Blessed Bins
The Bakery Skip
Rating: ★★★★★
The crown jewel. Warm-ish baguettes most
evenings. Brother Dave once found a whole tray of pain au chocolat and wept.
The Greengrocer Bin
Rating: ★★★★☆
Cosmetically challenged vegetables. The Lord
does not judge a parsnip by its appearance, and neither do we.
The Mystery Wheelie
Rating: ★★★☆☆
High risk, high reward. Could be a wheel of
brie. Could be a fox named Keith. Pray before opening.
Are You Bin Maxing Yet?
Thousands* of believers are already maxing their bins. Don't get left behind at the checkout. (*figure includes Keith the fox)
