Most of us would like to reduce our monthly grocery expenses, but few of us are willing to go to the lengths that William Reid does. The Washington, D.C., grad student has found a way to eat essentially for free, spending just $5.50 on food in the past two years. What’s his secret? He hits up his local dumpsters.

While working as a volunteer for an organization called Food Not Bombs which collects unsold food items from stores and then donates it to area food pantries, Reid noticed the tremendous amount of good food that was being tossed. He decided to see if it was possible to survive by scouring the dumpsters at supermarkets for unsold food, and he has been quite successful. In fact, he said that finding free food became “too easy,” so he decided to go vegan to challenge himself. While this has made it harder to find food, he is still getting by with little effort.

The $5.50 he spent was a once-off incident after he was stuck in an island in Maryland while shooting a film. His only option was to buy some food, and he says he spent the money on a protein bar and Chex Mix. This paid meal was far inferior to what he finds in dumpsters. He said, “It wasn’t even real food.”
