The Ultimate Guide To Receiving Free Foods And Beverages Everywhere

Food is expensive.  Just living in general in a city is very expensive.  So as a young gent-about-town, what are you to do when you are short on funds and need to to have a quick bite to eat without having to spend part of your savings?  I have looked around to find the best freebies available, and compiled 24 of them for your reference and convenience. 


1.  Free samples in grocery stores

Sam's Club, Costco, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's all give free samples away to browsing customers.  It's also easy to dupe with them with an outrageous accent and fake mustache, so you can get at least one more free round depending on how good of a Groucho Marx or Tom Selleck impression you can do.    


2.  Go on a date with somebody you meet at OkCupid or Tinder and have them buy food for you.

That won't work for everyone - you have to agree on it ahead of time.  But hey, there are some people who like to go against the norms. 


3.  Complimentary birthday food from a restaurant rewards program

Yes, my name is Consuelo Garcia and it just happens to be my birthday today.  I'd like that slice of complimentary birthday cake please.


4.  The "good guy" discount 

A coworker told me about this one, and he heard it on NPR.  Apparently if can appeal to certain clerks or cashier by saying you're a good guy and know another one when you see one, when you are purchasing their merchandise, that occasionally they will give it to you free, or at a discount at least.  Note: This won't work on a bad guy.  


5.  Informational meetings hosting by certain religious sects 

You don't have to actually become a Hare Krishna.  However, you could at least listen to what they have to say.  For the free refreshments. 


6.  Free cheese and wine from art galleries 

For this one you need to dress up, but since you are the complete gentleman, you will be oozing class already, and people will think your tuxedo t shirt is very charming.  Do some schoomzing and make a few clever remarks about Kandinsky, and you will soon be offered plenty of Gruyere and Pinot Noir.   


7.  Free samples of frozen yogurt at self-serve places.

Those sample cups sure are small, but you can of course just knock back one shot after another of the latest and greatest to your heart's content.  


8.  Become a freegan

Dumpster diving can bring in all sorts of treasures, like half-eaten donuts and pizza crusts.


9.  Mall food court individuals hawking food from trays on toothpicks.

You can't go more Panda express for a free meal than this.  


10. Barbershops that give out free whiskey along with your haircut.

If you happen to have an old-fashioned barber (and it is after noon), he occasionally might provide you with a shot of whiskey along with your haircut. It he does it most likely will be out of his flask that he keeps handy.
