hey, i'm trying to plan a trip for as cheap as possible. what are good ways to scam food, without the risk of outright shoplifting?

It kind of depends where you're going. Is it an international trip? Or just to a city? Etc? Etc?
A tip (that you may already know) is bakeries and other food places at closing time; either hang out by the dumpster behind said building, or put on your puppy face and beg.

phone churches.
my dad always got tonnes of calls from people who needed a few meals. he could usually pull together a couple grocery bags of food.
yeah.

Oh! I have an idea! Go to hotels that offer free continental breakfasts and get your food there.

one time, when on tour in pennsylvania, my bro crazy dave went into a mcdonalds and asked to see a manager... he then asked the manager to please give him a free meal as he was all the way from canada and very very hungry. the manager said no problem...
there you go, stinkass

Find a Costco or something similar, and just visit all of the sample tables.

Or you know you could just go to the drop in center which is down at the end of china town.. which i do believe is on the far end of pandora, and theres a drop in center down there that serves food, and its some pretty decent food. If you want to go on a trip i suggest vancouver.. theres many places there to get food, to start your completely free journey hitch hike to nanaimo, get dropped off at northfeild road, walk down to the ferry terminal, have some cardboard and a pen, write "Travelling, broke and hungry" on the sign and stand on the cement meridian there, youll have ferry money and alittle extra in no time (people hand you money from there cars, its called flagging and you make damn good money doing it) so once you hit vancouver its a breeze, i got three square meals a day when i was down there, for breakfast hit up Y.A.C. it starts at 8:30, for lunch your on your but with your new flagging technique you can go out to the 22nd street sky train station, walk down to the highway road thing and flag there, also a good money making spot. For dinner youll need to go to dusk til dawn n the corner of Nelson and Thurlow in an old wing of a hospital.. there you can get free food (all vegitarian) dental floss (for sewing), under arm deoderant... and well pretty much everything you'd need to stay clean.. as well as showers.. thats right, just becuase your on the streets doesnt mean you have to smell like a dumpster. some other neat information.. Free screenprinting every thursday at SYS which is on Homer street close to Smithe, they also give out free movie passes every once in awhile and free coffee www.english-vancouver.com/british-columbia/page3.htmltheres a link that may help you get your bearings alittle better.. If your still just going to victoria and you dont have a place to stay and you happen to have ID then go down to the shelter and you can get a place to stay.. its kind of weird there.. lots of junkies.. just watch your shit close youll be ok. Victoria has very little to help the average traveller but it is still one of the most beautiful cities ive been to hope some of that info helps
