As a college student, and a broke one at that, i am looking into cheaper ways to obtain bottles than buying them from the local homebrew shop. It makes since to look around some of the local bars and buddy up with a bartender and see if they will set some aside for you. I tried this last night, but it was a large Taco mac, and the gm basically said that would be bad for their business if they had to keep up with bottles during business hours, which made since. I imagine smaller bars would be easier. I considered dumpster diving, but they share a compacter with many other of the stores in the area, so that was a bad idea.
The bartender suggested going to a recycling center, saying that he though some of them resold bottles for under 30 cents a bottle, which i think is reasonable, and i am going to try that today or tomorrow.
Anyone have any other tried and true methods other than saving the ones from the fridge?
