An example of a dumpster dived food in Sweden (as experienced by Sigurdas, in autumn 2008): cashews and walnuts (~2kg), organic cashews (~1kg), raisins (~5,5kg), berberis berries (~1,7kg), potatoes (~1kg), muesli (1 kg), Hot Taco Spice Mix (around 400g, for 40 servings), herbal salt, salad (250g), light soy sauce, orange marmalade, vitaminized syrup. In one night. From one place.

Even though dumpster diving in Sweden is a bit tougher than in countries like United Kingdom, Germany and Denmark, it is still relatively easy, and one can survive in bigger cities without spending a single cent (actually, a crown) on buying a meal.

Beware of "Lidl", though: there was a case when "Lidl" employees poured a corrosive liquid, the equivalent of chlorine, on food that would be discarded, in order to keep homeless people away from dumpster diving (this case was filed for police investigation, and the managing director of Lidl Sweden called the incident "extremely regrettable").
