Meet the US woman scavenging food waste from dumpsters

Meet the TikToker who feeds herself by scavenging waste food from dumpsters outside supermarkets - and spends just $100 a month on groceries.

Theresa Kadish, 31, has been rifling through skips for over a decade and estimates that the waste food now makes up nearly a third of her whole diet.

She picks out perishable goods like fruit, veg, eggs and meats and has even put together a filet mignon dinner for free after finding all the ingredients in dustbins.

She said: “I select food in the dumpster the same way humans have always selected food, with my senses.

“I look for fresh colours, I smell quality or decay, I taste things to see if they're good.
