Show up near closing time. Make a bid for the crates of overripe or
bruised schtuff (tomato sauce doesn't depend on the appearance of the
tomatoes). More than likely they'll accept it (or make a counteroffer
only slightly higher for pride purposes) because it saves them the
energy of carting it back just to throw it out and they make some gas
money to boot.
