What is Dumpster Diving?

Many people think when you tell them you dumpster dive for coupons you actually jump into the nasty dumpsters. So I did a quick video to show what dumpster diving is. I can be nasty sometimes but just use gloves. You are really just filing through papers.

Don't mind me though because it was early morning & I had no makeup on!

@candynae

How is this greedy or fraud? Fraud is something you do illegally like using wrong coupons on the wrong product. This my dear is like you shopping at goodwill for someones trash :)

This is disgusting. I'm not that desperate to save 50¢.

What is disgusting about it? Its all newspapers. Plus I just did it again yesterday and found over 300 inserts. If you average to the coupons out to $1 a piece thats a savings of $3000 for absolutely free! :)

Wow are people ever BITTER towards couponers. I bet they're just jealous that they never thought of this. No, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a couponer, or dumpster diving to obtain coupons. Coupons are as good as money, and people just throw them out because they didn't want them.. so they're free for the taking. &When you have enough coupons, you can stretch your dollar SO much further.. so couponing is great for people on a budget. It doesn't make you greedy. It makes you SAVVY!

the dumpsters in my area are not accessable this way so we DO have to jump in the dumpsters.

HELLO? ARE YOU REALLY DUMPSTER DIVING? YOU NEED TO GET IN THE DUMPSTER?? NOT STICK YOUR HEAD IN IT!!!!

I think your awesome! I have been saving on coupons like a mad woman too. Screw the people who don't understand. I had a fool ask me (after he was getting (irritated) how much I saved. That day I had saved $112. I thought his jaw would hit the floor. lmao Keep up the savings!

@artandcreativity she got perm.

[artandcreativity]

did you have the people at the recycling center for permission to go thru the newspaper bin, or do you just go and do it?

Keep it up girl. There's none wrong with it. I also go dumpster diving. It sure saves lots of money plus we help others that are less fortunate like I give to my family and my local food pantry.
