Ryan Beiler has cut his food spending by searching dumpsters. Of the 500 billion dollars spent on food in the US, about 100 billion ends up in dumpsters, often outside of supermarkets as they reach their sell-by date. Beiler and others have been able to redeem much of this (still-edible) food and not only support themselves, thereby releasing their money for other causes, but also using the much-more-than-they-need gatherings to feed others. Beiler and his team's efforts were reported on a Canadian TV program, and the segment can be found on YouTube.
