Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Read free books at borders - their policy is people can read all they like, all day if they want to. great for keeping out of the weather too free food is real easy - just go to food courts in big shopping malls and look for people who have left some food, sit down and pretend its yours. clothes - needs a bit of upfront capital but anyway just go to big departrment stores, buy some hardwearing neutral coloured clothes and wear them for a week being very careful not to stain them. Hold on to the tags and receipts and bag, wash them then take them back. Repeat at next dept store. |
sly 12/08/2005 10:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "wedding dinners. ...get a tuxedo. old one will do." Good one. Weddings usually have free booze to. "free food is real easy - just go to food courts in big shopping malls and look for people who have left some food, sit down and pretend its yours." Thatīs low. "clothes - needs a bit of upfront capital but anyway just go to big departrment stores, buy some hardwearing neutral coloured clothes and wear them for a week being very careful not to stain them. Hold on to the tags and receipts and bag, wash them then take them back. Repeat at next dept store." not a bad idea for a job interview, or a big date. keep em coming, maybe ill write a book. |

Have a free 20 min interview, they always bring coffee and biscuits. For a variety of free cakes coffee and light snacks visit hotel conventions, seminars etc. They almost always have the light refreshments on a table OUTSIDE the room. Just mingle about in the breaks. |

5150 - Bill 12/08/2005 10:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Abbey Hoffman (the original protestor against the establishment) wrote a book in the 1960īs very much along the lines of this thread called, "Steal this Book". [link to www.amazon.com] [link to thevop.com] The introduction explained that if you had actually paid for the book, you had already failed. The book was full of ways to scam the system and survive for free. I am proud to say that I did indeed... steal the book, which of course was later stolen from me :) |

(man or woman) Maintain a tidy appearance and youīll be surprised at where you can score free stuff. Most industrial parks and large office complexes offer employees and guests free lunch in their commissaries and itīs usually of good quality. Just look as if itīs all owed to you and the world will respond. |
Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No need to write a book on it. Itīs already been done. By the late, great, sorely missed Abbie Hoffman. Yes, that Abbie Hoffman. Founder of the Yippies. Who shut down the NYSE by throwing money on the trading floor. Who caused chaos in Washington with the attempted exoricism/levitation of the Pentagon. Behind the original Gay Day at Disneyland. The greased pigs to be released at the Chicago convention, LSD in the water supply, the police riot live on national TV. He was assasinated you know. Towards the back of his 1968 classic book īRevolution For the Hell of Itī is all the info you need on living for free, 30 pages on the subject. Dusted off my old copy of the book, hereīs a quote from under īFree Moviesī- "This is our favorite way to sneak into a regular movie theatre. Arrive just as the show is emptying out and join the line leaving the theatre. Exclaiming "oh, my gosh!" slap your forehead, turn around and return, telling the usher you left your hat, pocketbook, etc. inside. Once youīre inside just take a seat and wait for the next show." Another tip I learned in this book I still use today. Under īFree Gasī- "If you have a car and need some gas late at night you can get a gallon and then some by emptying the hoses from the pumps into your tank. Thereīs always a fair amount of surplus gas left when the pumps are shut off." I usually lift up the hose to drain the gas after the pump has shut off when filling up. Thank you Abbie, wherever you are! |
Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A real good trick though slightly immoral so only employ at large multinationals like mcdonalds ertc. Go up to the youngest most inexperienced server, and order a whole bunch of stuff, hand over your money ( a $20) then change your mind, several times. Then claim that they messed up the order and forgot this or that. Create as much confusion as possible Bu t donīt be angry, just nice, smiling and gentle calm. Then when itīs all sorted and added up they give you the change. Then say but I gave you a fifty. Free meal and some extra. |

freebiegeniou User ID: 28553286 United States 11/26/2012 09:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Free food- some places want to see your reciept, but most of the time you can pull through any drive through and tell them they forgot to give you something in your order and they will just give it to you. Sonic drive in is really leniant about this....iv actually gotten away with telling them i was shorted 5 burgers and they gave them to me, no questions asked. Free jeans, shoes- wear the ugliest pair of jeans and shoes that you own, go to a store and try on some jeans, leave wearing the new ones and put your old ones back on the shelf. Or for shoes, leave wearing the new ones and put your old ones back in the box and put back on the shelf. Free coats- Put a coat in your cart and finish your shopping. when you get to the check out, casually put the coat on like its yours pay for your stuff and walk out. Tip- when you do things in plain site it doesnt look suspicous, and nobody pays any attention to you. You can walk into a place, pick something up and walk right out like you own the place. Iv even told the cashier thank you on my way out and she said have a nice day. haha |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 28553286 United States 11/26/2012 10:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Free Milk- fill your empty milk container with water, add a little white paint, shake it up, take it to the store and tell them you bought it there yesterday and its sour. They will replace it. Iv never had anyone actually take the lid off to smell the milk themselves, but if you are worried about this you can put the lid on really really tight or put the milk in a plastic bag and tie it up in a really tight knot before you go in. Nobody is that worried about smelling sour milk to put in the extra effort to get it open.
