How do I eat for free...

[Ms Thrifty]

Yes, it is probably more trouble than it is worth and for me, would detract from the pleasure of going out for a meal. I think I will stick to my discount deals with coupons, rather than trying to get my expenses refunded. It would be the same with other things I enjoy, such as going to the theatre (and cinema, of course!), i.e. a completely different experience, and possibly a less enjoyable one, if you were there in a professional/official capacity.

Another free food opportunity

Porridge extravaganza
If you think one of the best things about winter is the chance to fill up on some hot oaty goodness for breakfast, then the free porridge at South Bank giveaway should make the perfect start to your weekend. Keep an eye out for the Rude Health roller skaters outside the Giraffe Restaurant on the South Bank, who will be handing out free hot bowls of delicious porridge to oat fans.



The free porridge at South Bank giveaway and porridge extravaganza at Giraffe runs from 10am - 12pm, Saturday 28th November 2009.

The idea of people skating around with hot bowls of porridge is making me a feel a bit nervous just now, I managed to scald my hands with hot porridge the other morning. I've now got a huge blister on my little finger and red welts over my hands, not fun when I need to wear gloves where I work I do really like porridge though and I'm enjoying getting back into eating it again now the weather has got a bit colder.

I haven't managed to eat out for free properly (unless you count people taking me out for meals ) but I have used the 50% off, 2 for 1, etc. vouchers for the likes of Pizza Express, La Tasca and Strada. I would normally rather go to independent restaurants than chain ones but the vouchers are handy and mean I can manage to eat out more often than I normally would. I also got the voucher for the free bar of milka the other week which was great.

I am sorry to hear about your porridge accident, I must get some in now really fancy a bowl my partner does the cooking so he can risk burning !
I find allot of the 241 offers disappointing and am totally relieved I did not p*y full price, La Tasca comes to mind should have been £32, £32 for two people who went home still hungry, same with Pizza Express, did enjoy Sizzling pubs £2.99 meals good value for what they are ...

Not strictly free but you do have to put in a little effort. Anybody tried the mystery shopping websites?. Retail Eyes is good for JD Wetherspoons meals you have to p*y for meals but get it refunded later.
GABusters enable you to mystery shop Pizza Hut again you p*y on the day and get it refunded later. The online report is very simple to do.
Combine a mystery shop with a free preview and you get a great night out.
