To ask what little freebies you get in life?

I write copy for a DVD rental company (yes they still exist) so I get lots of free films.

I’ve done lots of very strange jobs, and as a result, know lots of people. I get free season passes for DH’s football team, free museum tickets for big exhibitions, and often get free lunches/dinners/hotel stays from various mailing lists I’m still on. Also get free lunch fairly often in the office as we run a lot of in house events and always invariably over cater

Not me but the company we are subcontractors to , their staff are spoilt rotten,

Jealous me ? No not much 🫣

Free Sky TV package. It’s become more valuable over recent years. Would certainly take it into consideration if I decided to look for another job.

None from my workplace-they even took away the water dispensers to save money!!!

DH gets this too. He's happily baffled by it. Every time he's thinking of buying new ones, free ones appear.

I remember my dad getting those in the 1970s and 80s. We used to use them at McDonalds.

I think 15p per day was tax free which is what he got, but they added up over time.

We get loads of trade freebies like pens etc but these have got a lot fewer these days. I sometimes get the free Caffè Nero vouchers from octopus energy.

Love a freebie. Especially a perfume sample. When I order online and it comes unexpectedly is the best. Otherwise the ladies in my local John Lewis are generous and give me a handful

DH works for an electrical wholesaler so lightbulbs, light fittings etc

No free as such but they have a big skip that's emptied every week so everyone uses that, we once disposed of a whole bathroom suite over two weeks so we didnt have to pay for a skip

All very glamours ...

Mine are all through work. At my office I get free sandwiches on a Friday, if they're due to expired over the weekend. Also had free plants off the plant man, free air fresheners from the guy who replenishes them in the loos, free furniture (chairs/cabinets/desks/tables) when they'e done refurbs.

DS has a paper round and he collects our Sunday paper at the same, so we get it delivered with no delivery charge... does that count?

A weekly assortment of fruits and veg.

Today I had 2 days' worth of cooked dinner delivered by my dad, because I mentioned I was tired.

Life's not bad at all ☺️.

We also used to get free coffee etc at my old workplace - we had a really fancy, bean-to-cup machine so it was proper coffee 😍
They also used to give us free stuff with the company logo on it all the time, so we were like a walking advert when we weren’t at work. I got a great insulated mug, car air fresheners, an umbrella - useful stuff!

I have 2 - one Muslim family always always bring my kids treats/food. My oldest child is autistic and funny with foods but they make a special dish just for him. (He told them it smelled nice once, they've made the same dish the same way probably 20 times and he loves it)
I also have an elderly neighbour who grows fruit in his greenhouse. He left a punnet of strawberries on my doorstep yesterday for my children.

You would think the kids were hungry - they're not! I just have really lovely neighbours. I'm extremely fortunate to be surrounded by such lovely people.

Awwwww, congratulations on your grandchooks 😁♥️

I have a social media page dedicated to books and reading with an ok following, and I get free books sent by publishers to review and also advanced copies of unreleased ones, and it makes my entire day every single time

Plants! Come from a family of gardeners so everyone has cuttings, split herbaceous perennials or extra seedlings going spare. Garden centre plants are so expensive and often poor quality in comparison!

Oh this happened to me a few weeks ago too! Totally made my day.

We have a weekly bake sale at our school which I volunteer for. My co-volunteer bakes and she always 'insists' I do a taste test every week.

Best part of my week.

My mother gets me a subscription to PlayStation Plus each year for Xmas. The last couple of years, every time I come close to buying a game, it turns up for free the next month as part of the subscription.

I've stopped buying anything now as I can keep playing everything I want without spending.

I get a few freebies through work. The main one is free private health insurance and a free gym membership. We also get a fruit box delivered every day, free tea and coffee, and on the last Friday of every month there is drinks and pizza in a boardroom.

Two olive trees that somebody on the local FB group were giving away. They were looking a bit miserable but are now thriving in the garden

I do try to give things away for free if they are good quality but no longer needed

A few times I have been in Waitrose near closing time and have been invited to help myself to avocados or a bunch of flowers.
The other week I was in Ikea and a staff member gave me a bag of mini cinnamon rolls on the way out (near expiry date).
DP and I, and any friends we want to take , get on the guest list for his brother's gigs (fairly well-known band) plus drinks at the after-party.
Free or heavily discounted food and drinks at the very posh restaurant where DD works.
Free last-minute theatre and concert tickets from being on various mailing lists.
So far this year I have had three free shelving units, two tables, a wicker hamper and four outdoor chairs for free from neighbours; some I am using, some I have passed on to my DC.

I used to get sent these. But now no longer 😞
