Would you eat dumpster donuts?

My genius sister went dumpster diving with friends last night. They went to Krispy kreame and found 20 boxes of donuts. They put the donuts in a sealed box and dump them upside down so people wonā€™t eat them. She claims theyā€™re perfect donuts just a little ugly. I now have 4 box of trash donuts on my clean counters šŸ«

Cheaper Dog Food Options

Things have been hard on our family and we are having to budget more. I want to make sure our dog is still eating well, but I noticed we are spending $70 a bag. Are there cheaper options out there that aren't just junk for my boy? Edit: He is currently eating Natural Balance. The only allergy he has is pork.
