Super creative use of strategy and knowledge, but 1) still illegal, and 2) these are pretty sketchy ethics. If you’re going to game the system, I’d personally love to see this be more of a Robin Hood situation where you’re using your efforts to serve those less self-sufficient, like the NYC homeless population. To Chris Hranj’s point, I imagine cost of food is somewhat of a mild inconvenience to you, not a matter of survival.
