You really can get free stuff, but yes, sometimes there are strings attached. When we were at universal studios I got a free backpack. On the other hand, we ate pretty well on free sample days at local food stores when we lived in Tucson, and there really weren’t any strings attached, other than the risk of being sold a delicious new food.
Free Entertainment
Festivals usually have some free musical entertainment. The National Cherry Festival in Traverse City, Michigan has free entertainment every night during the week-long festival, including many recognizable bands and (often) a Beatles tribute band.
We’ve even seen music videos on DVD in one library. The time to get a library card.
Free Vacations
There are many free campgrounds scattered around the country. To find them, buy a Woodall’s directory from any large RV dealer. Camping can be an essentially free vacation if done right, because you may spend less than if you stayed home.
You may have to water the plants, and even get the mail for them, but you get to stay in a beautiful home in a sunny place. Sometimes you even get paid for these vacations.
