jean20005_mediumIn this episode of the EconomyBeat, Detroiter Jean Wilson takes WDET‘s Zak Rosen to one of her favorite organic markets late at night. Well, actually, she takes him to the dumpster behind the market, to talk all about how she and a lot of other people are getting full for free in Metro Detroit. Jean Wilson has been diving for herself, friends, neighbors, and even her mother for more than five years. The 50-year old Wilson estimates she’s spent only $50 on food in the last five years!
