Lithuania
From Trashwiki
Lithuania is a country in North Eastern Europe. It is not easy to dumpster dive there but it is possible to gather some amount of food for free. Most commons places for that would be food markets in major cities: after they are closed (but not yet cleaned of the trash) one can find plenty of discarded vegetables on the ground.
To the disadvantage of Lithuanian freegans, many food stores tend not to dispose food right after its expiration date is over: many of them unpack these items (if possible) so that the expiration date is not visible anymore, and sell them at a discount. Such actions are not yet strictly controlled here and it is generally known that food stores won't throw away even a black-dotted banana so easily, although food stores like "Rimi" and "IKI" usually do not comply with this pattern.
