Millennial Julia Pak, who lives in Canada, has been dumpster diving on and off since she was a teen.
She spent an average of about 60 Canadian dollars or about $45 on food and drinks in the last four months.
That bill was roughly 14 Canadian dollars in June, or about $10.
And a mom who has done dumpster diving with her daughter said in an as-told-to essay for Insider that "the hardest part of dumpster diving is seeing the waste."
She advises other people who want to try out dumpster diving to go at night like she does.
