To ask what little freebies you get in life?

[Funfreethings]

So not much in life is free…we all know that.
im moving house soon and i was on the hunt for boxes so i asked in work. The waste management guys told me they would keep some boxes to the side for me. When I went down he had a stack for me already flattened so I could get them in my car and he gave me a big roll of tape to use also. I was so happy, I feel like I’m haemorrhaging money at the moment so even though it was something small it made such a difference for me.
we also have free tea/coffee/milk/water in work! Love that too!
whats your freebie? ☺️

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 ☺️.

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?

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.

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 ...

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Jealous me ? No not much 🫣

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

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

Nothing. Zilch. Nada.

Jealous!

I read it as though she wanted children and ran away because she was fed up of having her eggs stolen

I was on the Parish Council for a while. I got a free guided tour of the sewage works 😂

Dh has a parking space in the city and I park there whenever I want to go shopping or have an appointment.

I can bring my kids to work if there is a random school closure day.

I work in a food bank. Obviously our aim is to give away food and we do, about a tonne a week, but when there is still some left AND it can’t be stored AND we have asked around other local food projects/soup kitchens/homeless shelters etc - the volunteers can help themselves. This week I got slightly past-it broccoli and a half loaf of nice bread.

Did they just tell you your coffee is free? Is it random?

I once got my M&S shopping free with my Sparks card.

Another one - DD (7) always get something free at Pret. I assume it’s because that particular branch very rarely gets children in. Literally every time.

I work in publishing so get a LOT of free books. I’ve had to stop bringing them home with me as they were piling up and I don’t get around to reading them,

Oh and I won pantomime tickets one time (oh yes I did!)
