I’m a mum & I love rummaging through bins… I’ve found loads but my latest trip to a nearby dumpster was the best ever
A DUMPSTER-DIVING mum has revealed her latest treasure find, claiming it’s one of the best ever.
Tiffany Sheree, believed to be from the US, is not afraid of getting her hands dirty – and it seems that the efforts have paid off.

People on social media were stunned that the brand had binned heaps of new items, some of which were still unwrappedtiktok/@dumpsterdivingmama
The parent, who posts under @dumpsterdivingmama, recently revealed that she’s even managed to find all her prezzies sorted for Christmas 2023.
But it appears that wasn’t enough, as she drove to another dumpster not long after – and this time, stumbled across boxes of clearance goods.
Impressed with the hidden gems, Tiffany grabbed her camera and filmed what she had found in the massive bin.
”Guys, look! Holy s**t!” she exclaimed in the now-viral video.
One by one, she pulled out brand new bags and wallets by Vera Bradley – a brand that usually charges almost £100 for a rucksack.
”Oh my God, that’s not destroyed. One, two, three and there’s more.
”The box says clearance but everything has tags on it,” she noted after filling her truck full of the colourful goods.
”Some still wrapped up,” the mum couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
”I’m gonna lose my s**t, what the…”
Clearly lost for words at how much had been chucked away, Tiffany wrote: ”BEST SCORE IN A LONG TIME!”

It’s not just the dumpster diver who was amazed by the find – social media users were just as stunned too, with many struggling to figure out why the items had been binned in the first place.
”Why couldn’t they donate these!?!?! Like WHAT?!” a TikTok fan was baffled.
Another was just as angry, writing: ”I’m happy for you but the fact that PREFECT items get sent to the landfill.”
”To think of all the kids that would have been OVER THE MOON with a new bag like these .the fact they just throw them away is baffling,” a third penned.
Dumpster diving has become all the rage recently, and one mum who also refuses to pay full price is Callie, from Colorado.
She’s so keen to find goods, she’ll even take her toddler to rummage through bins.
”I like to save a lot of money,” said the 28-year-old stay-at-home mum.
And to spend as little as possible, Callie makes daily trips to the local recycling dumpster.
Here, to have an extra pair of hands, the mum-of-three also brings her toddler son with her.
”I don’t care how many dumpsters I get in, we’re gonna find that coupon.”
The duo’s hard efforts have definitely paid off, as the family-of-five now boasts a stockpile of a whopping 3,500 items.
Amongst these are 165 bars of soap, 500 razors and 1,500 bottled beverages, such as energy drinks and vegetable juices.
”Any kind of drink you can think of, I can get for free,” she chuckles.
Speaking of her penny-pinching methods, Callie said that there is a stigma that couponing is the same as hoarding.
”But what they don’t understand is that we’re providing for our family.”
As last year Callie’s husband, Jacob, got accepted in a prestigious engineering programme, the family suddenly became dependant on student loans – and without couponing, they wouldn’t be able to survive.
”Right now we’re completely broke,” she says.
”There definitely is pressure on me to coupon because if we want to eat that night, if we want a home-cooked meal, it’s on me.”
To make life easier, Callie now stores her stocks of coupons in different categories – meats, snacks, bread, canned goods and so on.
The mum-of-three also took viewers on a trip to the store to prepare for a large family gathering.
Armed with what looks like a never-ending list of coupons, not only did Callie manage to get various food and drink items at a bargain price, but also had the store giving them a voucher worth more than £80.
