local aldi is the place to dumpster dive. If I had some hooks or grabbers (or I was more agile) I could have got myself so many fucking bananas (among some other items) As it stands with my reach I was able to grab one bunch of bananas, two bags of apples (maybe 20-30 apples total) and about 4 green peppers.

Had to throw out maybe one apple and 2 of the green peppers (I had grabbed six green peppers total) everything else was maybe slightly bruised but in pretty good shape.

There are 3 other grocery stores near me. One uses a compactor, one has their dumpster behind a locked gate , and the other happened to have one of them refrigerated trucks parked right in front of the dumpster picking up stuff (apparently their employees work at midnight even though the place closes at like 9:00)

Would be a shame if the lock got a toothpick jammed into it, regularly.

Probably getting food delivered, innit, a lot of stocking shit takes place after hours, but I think normally it's on a schedule so once you learn it that dumpster could also be available.

It's definitely possible to never need to buy fruits and veg if you are disciplined enough to go often.
