There was an entire documentary about people dumpster diving at grocery stores for free food.

    That documentary is called: Dive! Living Off America's Waste.

    Here's a trailer for it.

    And here's the full documentary on YouTube.

    Crazy to me that it was filmed in 2010. My experience dumpster diving was as a kid in the 80s in Phoenix and as I mentioned, the stores started locking things up and so it stopped. Or so I thought... it seems in many areas it was and maybe still is occurring. Perhaps locking dumpsters is too much of a hassle for some places. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
