Tip of the Week

Become a Mystery Shopper

Mystery shopping, also known as secret shopping, is posing as a regular customer in order to evaluate good or services. It won't get you rich, but it can be a nice way to get an occasional free meal.

Accept Farmers’ Surplus

You know someone who grows tomatoes or apples? Let them know you would love a share of their bounty. The fact is, farmers are always looking for someone who can take their surplus. Why not offer someone to help with their harvest in exchange for some of the bounty?

Eat Free At Public Events

Today almost every occasion includes free food – church events, festivals, grand openings, meetings. If you keep out for the events that offer free food to the public, you can easily score at least one free meal a week. Even if it’s just light appetizers – free is free.

Request Freebies Online

There are tons of free samples available online. They vary from cereal samples to free meals at the restaurants. Where to find them? You can start here or here. Getting a free sample doesn’t require a credit, just fill out all the required information and you’ll get your samples by mail. Really simple.

Coupons for Getting Free Food

Coupons may not give you completely free food, but combining manufacturer coupons with store coupons for the same items can take your savings to the extreme. Although sometimes you might. For example, combine buy one get one free sale with buy one get one free coupon and you’ll get both items for free.
