Scavenge Lord Loot Video, We Survived V-Day
Channel: Scott Gastineau

WI am Scott Zaboem, and you are watching another loot video, the We Survived Valentines Day Edition. In this series, I share some of the items which I have discovered being thrown away by others in my community and sharing them with an interested audience.

I was hoping to find some flower arrangements to bring home and did not, but what I found was even better.
I apologize in advance for the noise in this video. The weather has been very windy for the last couple of weeks. One option which I would be willing to try is recording the audio separately and editing it into the video file before I upload. If anyone watching would like to see that change made or has a different idea for how to improve the video quality in this series, please leave a comment below. Alternatively, I may be contacted through the Salvage Lord pages on Google+ and Facebook.

Not seen is a small kid's bicycle painted black which was already donated to Goodwill along with a baseball pitcher's helmet.

Correction: I stated in the video that the small plastic slat belongs to a GE refrigerator which matched my own. This was my mistake. My fridge is actually a Whirlpool. I tried cutting this slat to fit my freezer, but it still didn't work well. The shelf will just get recycled.

Other items are as follows:

One house plant, unidentified. I decided to keep it, and it now sits outside my back door.

Insulated soft lunch bag; I used this to carry other items to the Goodwill. I frequently carry items there in bags which I find during my scavenging.

4 grapefruits; these were actually being given away by a neighbor who lives near my mother's house.

large bag of oranges; they are a little sour, but they keep away scurvy. Seriously, these are pretty good in homemade smoothies or as the base for citrus-flavored soft drink.

One large bag of kale; I decided to keep this, and I have been slowly eating my way through it. When fried in a pan with pepper, garlic, and oil, it's a tolerable veggie.

Several small bags of processed foods.

5 cans of lemonaid and one can of Sprite, all unopened and intact.

One deck of collector cards which detail different drinking games. I repaired the package with some clear packing tape, put the cards back into the order, and added this to my game collection.

Two pairs of shoes. The women's shoes will be saved for my next trips to a consignment shop. The sneakers were taken to Goodwill.

One glove; added to my box of work gloves in the garage

Several packages of moist napkins

Two onions. I ate the larger onion. The smaller onion had some parts which had grown soft and moldy. I cut off the bad half. The good half was planted in a pot out back. I have tried growing onions before with no luck, but this is free, so maybe it will turn out better.

A cinnamon scented broom stick, still unopened; that went to the Goodwill

A few pizza coupons

four Beanie Babies; collecting these dolls from trash is somewhat like buying a lottery ticket. Usually, they are worthless. Every once in a while, I find something which is potentially valuable. A few months ago, I discovered a large cache of beanie babies being thrown out by a neighbor who seemed to be moving away. The trash truck was only about a minute behind me, so I was only able to salvage a few of the dolls, but that particular loot did include a Princess Diana memorial purple Beanie Baby.

Three shopping bags which are intended for wine; I used one of them for carrying the Beanie Babies home.
