[Freebiefriday]

Thought it might be fun, posting here for traffic.
What do you get for free or at a very small cost that others pay for?
This is supposed to be fun by the way...
For example
I never pay for yoga classes (family member is the teacher)
I never pay for stationary or printing (get them from work)
I never pay full price for Fatface or Debenhams purchases as I have good friends working there.

What are your freebies?

Haircuts - best friend is a very good hairdresser
Eyelash extensions - another very close friend used me as her model when she trained and promised "free lashes for life"

I used to be the head of IT for a well known satellite broadcaster and could have had all of the channels for free... and I didn't take advantage of it!! Ditto, I used to work for British Rail and has a free first class Managers pass with reciprocal arrangements across Europe.. and did I use it? Nope!! Idiot...

free entry to a very pricey tourist attraction. perfect for my Ds 👍 not much else though as it's a charity

and unlimited eggs, lol, from my mum and dads garden. comes in handy though as we eat thousands.

Free entry to a theme park/zoo...daughter and her partner work there
Cheap massages and facials....niece owns the salon
Free tickets to Glastonbury.....sibling lives nearby and gets them but doesn't go

DP works in insurance so we get hefty discounts. Just need contents and life insurance atm but we pay about £20 a year for massive policies.

Also have access to discounted white goods, both our laptops were bought through a discount scheme and we get discounts at some shops & restaurants as well

Free emergency paediatrician appointments for anything more than a sniffle (DSis).

DIY help from my DDad, gardening help from my DMum, babysitting from them both!

Haircuts
Paints / paper
Car service & repairs
Plumbing / electrical work
Cinema, tea/coffee (Nero), films online - for free Perkbox
Bunch of discounts including gym through work, because we use the Perkbox scheme. Includes discounts at Tesco, etc
Work pay for tea/coffee in the office
Free business services offered by work (also offer to friends and family, so useful!)

Quite a lot, really! I feel lucky to have my friends, family and job.

I’m surprised that only a couple of people have pointed out the OP working for a stationARy company

@charm8ed had never noticed that - have several cases of wine on their way to us! Hurrah!

Free (lovely) lunches, tea, coffee, cake, biscuits and parking.

Free sky

We all get that!

Books. I'm a journalist

My hubby recently took home 2 very large free umbrellas (which are awesome) and a wee Bluetooth speaker for our kitchen from work - I’m happy with that!
In my last role we got free tea/coffee which was great

Beer and cider as I work at one of the biggest breweries. Guess who's popular at Christmas

I get lots of free things from work

Trips abroad are all expenses paid
Lunches
Booze
Gifts at Xmas (chocolates and wine/champagne usually)

It’s great!

photos. ds is a photographer

Oh, I have just thought of another one!

I once had a 'free' orange juice at a CIMA event at their office in London. Well that makes my £300/year subscription seem such good value!

(One for the management accountants)

I have academic borrowing rights at the very large university library where I work...so more books than I could ever read for free. A very exciting perk for a bookworm!

2bed house Rent + Council tax + water/sewage rates all for £150 a month in Southwest England.

PooWillyBumBum, excellent, perfect timing for Christmas 🥂

We used to get a free gym membership at David Lloyd when DH worked there. And we got both our cars at a discounted rate too when he worked for a big car company.
Now we just get company branded notepads and pens/highlighters he brings home for DS to draw with.
We also got super cheap windows and doors from a family friend when we brought our house.

I get free tea, coffee and milk at work. Free lunches once a week. Free travel to London when I link it to a day external examining. Free counselling service should I need it. Free laptop.

Oh yes free inspection copy books plus the use of a university library for free.

Childcare. MIL is a childminder but refuses payment. We spoil her with dinners and at Christmas and birthdays instead

Also jelly and jam. DH works for a jam company and gets lots of "samples"
