This Irish woman has been dumpster diving for food

Dumpster diving is not a new concept and has been common around the world for years.

It involves going to the refuse area of shops or skips on the side of the road and rummaging through it for items that you may not consider rubbish.

A dumpster diver in Cork has said that she only spent a maximum of €5 a week on grocery items after she started dumpster diving.
