Things You'll Need:
- friends with connections
-
Step 1
Surveys:
Look at your receipt the next time you eat out, I just ate a Panda Garden Express and there was a web address and an 800 number to fill out a survey for a free entree item. It'll upgrade you to a 2 item entree for the price of a one item entree. That's a good deal. I have also seen survey offers from other fast food places as well. If someone leaves a receipt on the table in the food court, help yourself to it. Complete the survey and enjoy the free food. -
Step 2
Pay Attention to Specials:
Our local Amigos store has happy hour specials from 5 to 7 pm where kids meals are 1/2 price when bought with a regular priced item. Our Valentinos pizza restaurant has a noon buffet one day a week where kids eat free. Some places have specials where you buy one item at regular price you get one for free. Use coupons when they present the best deals. Check company webs sites for special offer coupons. -
Step 3
Knowing somebody inside:
Yes this works too, most fast food places employ teens as they will work for slave wages without complaint. I worked for a pizza hut as a delivery driver, free pizzas flowed every night. I never left work hungry ever! Mistake pizzas were common or delivery drivers were given a bogus address. The "extras" were eaten in store or someone took them home with them. I got burned out on pizza. -
Step 4
Out with the old:
Most fast food places have a preset time that they need to rotate the food from the warmers and into the trash. If you know someone on the inside and the time of day they dump the old, you can get a haul of free food at the back door! -
Step 5
Complain when it's wrong:
That's right, complain when your order gets screwed up and about 15% of the time your order will be screwed up. Now if you want to increase your odds of a screw up order that Whopper with no catchup on it and about 90% of the time they will mess it up and you will get a free whopper. Use this one conservatively as the fast food joint will get wise to your ways and actually have that whopper without catchup ready for you when you pull up to the windows. Always check your order before pulling away in your car or sitting down at the table inside.
