In Argentina, food prices have increased.

But salaries haven't.

In the past year, food went up by 117 percent.

Many women are looking through dumpsters to find food for their families.

Every week, Gladys Meza and Limpia Benitez travel to Buenos Aires to search the dumpsters near the central market.

Today, 40 percent of the country lives in poverty.

The women who collect food from the rubbish don't feel embarrassed.

But, they're angry about the food waste.

The women take the bus and train to bring back 20 kilograms of food.

They clean, share and prepare the food.

Not all the food can be eaten by humans.

They give this to animals or use it for gardening.

By going to the dumpsters, these women save $30 weekly.

Some of their friends clean houses for 9 to 10 hours weekly.

They earn less.

These women look for better jobs because food prices are going up.

Going to the dumpsters is their best option.
