Used to only grab furniture from the rich neighborhoods until I pulled a $200 espresso machine out of a strip mall dumpster

I drove 15 miles out of my way for years hitting up the ritzy curbs until last month I found a practically new Breville in a random plaza behind a thrift store and now I'm rethinking my whole route what's the weirdest spot you've scored something good?

You ever change your mind about something so hard you feel like you wasted years? I used to think only rich people threw out good stuff, but then I found a like-new air fryer behind a gas station and realized trash is trash no matter where it sits. Now I check every dumpster within a five mile radius, not just the ones near the big houses.

Last week I pulled a $200 espresso machine out of a dumpster behind a 7-Eleven, @iris394. It just needed a new $8 part on Amazon and now I'm basically a barista. That's real life telling you that rich people aren't the only ones with decent trash habits.
