Meet the woman who has not done a supermarket shop in FOUR YEARS - and gets all of her meals from the dumpster.

Sofie Juel-Anderson, 30, started dumpster diving in October 2020 while living in Sydney, Australia.

She started out by taking just fresh produce from designated bins - but soon realised she could get an entire weekly shop.

Sofie now only buys household items such as toilet roll, dishwashing soap and toothpaste from supermarkets and spent just £80 in 2024.
