Free Food for Your Life

It's Sunday. Which means it's a great day to read the paper.

Not articles online, but the good old fashion newspaper. I have found over years of experience and many mornings out that the paper is best read over breakfast at First Watch.

On the front cover of the St. Petersburg Times today there was a little blurb about two journalists who journeyed all over Tampa Bay last week in an effort to eat for completely free all day. As you can imagine, this immediately caught my attention and I flipped through the pages to find this "cover story" on free food for a day.

I start reading and after being about 7.5 sentences through, realize that this is a complete scam. These so called journalists merely drove all over Tampa to Publix, Sam's Club, Williams and Sonoma and Panera to eat free samples. Not free food as it was advertised.

After realizing that this article was a complete joke I started grumbling on my side of the table. My wife, ever aware of my roll coaster of emotions cautiously asked, "Is everything ok over there?"

Then the yelling began.

Not at my wife, but at the newspaper.

Who the heck do these people think they are to advertise they have the "solution" to eating free all day and then deliver a meager journey to the mall to eat samples of free Chinese food off a stick!?!?!?!? The best part is they offer their critiques!

Waste your time by reading the entire article here.

WOW.

We can do better.

Free food isn't defined by going to get samples. Anyone can do that, it's be done since the beginning of time.

Authentic free food is defined by two things:

1. Strategy
2. Being Regular

Strategically you have to be aware of current deals that are running. This doesn't include cutting coupons out of the paper. In store promotions are run on a continual basis. If you're smart you make yourself aware of these great deals.

Free Food Strategy is built on a foundation of being a regular. If you become a regular at your favorite restaurant I guarantee that you will walk out with something free on a frequent occasion. It could be as small as free drinks or it could be entire meals.

You hold the power to get Free Food in your hands. When you master this power, know how to control it, and when to use it then and only then you become what we like to call a: Classy Eater.

To begin your journey on the path to become a Classy Eater, you may want to download a copy of the life changing eBook, Classy Eater by clicking here. If you have already read the book, you're one step ahead.

The eBook however isn't enough.

What you need is a tool to be up to date on all of the current deals and promotions that are running. You need a source you can trust to tell you about where to get free food on your birthday or when the next restaurant will have a "free food day".

You need: ClassyEater.com

Previously this site has only served to host the download of the eBook however it has gone through a complete makeover.

Below is what the NEW ClassyEater.com offers:

1. Frequent posts and updates on where to find the next deal at your favorite restaurant.
2. Lists of all the restaurants you can get free food on your birthday.
3. Updates and news of restaurant openings and free food events.
4. The opportunity to contribute, offer comments and engage with other readers to find out about what other sweet deals are going on.

Click here to visit the site and subscribe by email.

I promise there won't be any suggestions to go get free samples in order to survive. You can learn how to rob the mall of their samples by trusting the St. Pete Times.

Here's to free food!

Oh - if you are interested in reading a REALLY good story about free samples, shoot me an email: danielrholm@gmail.com and I'll send you a story about our recent experience at Target. It's better than the St. Pete Times.
