Woman Sees Wealthy Neighbor Looking for Food in Trash Cans — Story of the Day
A concerned neighbor decided to act after she noticed her wealthy old neighbor looking through trash bins around their street for food to eat.
One day, Linda found it strange that her wealthy old neighbor Betty was at the supermarket buying cat food. She knew that the old lady didn’t have a cat at home, so it was a strange sight to see.
What surprised Linda, even more, was that instead of buying her goods with a credit card like she always did, Betty took coins out of her pocket to pay for the canned cat food.
Linda decided not to bother Betty that day, thinking she must now have a cat at home for which she needed to buy food. After all, her daughter, who was in her thirties, moved in about a week ago.

One day, Linda saw Betty quietly sneak out of the house through the side door. She walked around, looking through her neighbors’ trash cans for food. It must be for the cat, Linda thought to herself.
However, what happened next shocked her. When Betty found a box of takeout leftover in a trash can, she proceeded to smell it. When she confirmed it was safe to eat, she decided to take a bite.

“Oh my god, that’s awful,” Linda said as she watched in horror.
“What’s wrong, honey?” her husband Peter asked.
“Look. Grandma Betty is eating food out of the trash! How could that be? She’s had a successful career and had enough saved up for retirement. Something strange is going on. What should we do?” Linda replied back, concerned about her long-time neighbor.
“Why don’t you go check on her? You haven’t spoken to her in a while anyway,” Peter suggested....
