A DUMPSTER diver has shared her "expensive jackpot" after she rooted in the bins outside Victoria's secret,
Dumpster diving is looking in bins, usually outside shops or restaurants, for things that are still of use and then taking them to use or sell.
Technically, taking from a bin is theft, although, whether it is illegal or not depends on the motivation of the person taking the items and whether they have a rightful owner.
Ella, 21, shared her Victoria's Secret haul via video posted to her TikTok channel, @glamourddive, which she often uses to showcase the items she finds in bins.
The caption to Ella's video reads: "A few surprise scores at Victoria's Secret".
In the video, Ella can be seen rooting through a large skip outside the underwear store, alongside text on the screen which reads: "Expensive jackpot dumpster diving at the mall".

Ella grabbed a large bag and took it out of the skip to check out what was inside.
Midway through her scavenging, security turned up to see what Ella was up to, but they didn't seem fazed by her antics and promptly left.
Among Ella's haul was a gorgeous set of the iconic pink Victoria's Secret PJ's, which are worth a whopping £65.
There was also a whole host of bras (worth around £20 each) and pants, many of which still had the tags on.

The dumpster diver, who lives in Texas, sells a lot of the products she finds in bins online, and is sure to make a killing.
On her website, GlamourDDive's shop, Ella assures customers that all of the products she finds are fully sanitized and refurbished before she sells them.
A bio on her website reads: "My enjoyment of dumpster diving has helped me open my eyes to the waste that is involved in everyday retail and corporations!
"My ultimate goal would be to give back to families and animals that may not have the support or means to help themselves."
TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts on Ella's dumpster haul.
One user said: "What an awesome score! Our mall has all their dumpsters locked."
Another user added: "Why is it so hard for me to even find dumpsters to dive in? I wanna try so bad but can’t find any."
