How to Be a Stay at Home Mom When You Just Can’t Afford It!
If things are tight financially, you may find yourself unable to afford the cost of food. Here are some tips on how to find free food without begging for it.
Finding Free Food
- The first thing you should do is find out if there’s a local soup kitchen. Many people assume that soup kitchens only feed the hungry during the holidays, but they actually operate all year round. You can also check out local food pantries. While food pantries offer food to those in need, they rely heavily on donations and sometimes there just isn’t enough to go around.
- Another thing you can do is go to grocery store openings. While grocery stores periodically offer samples, they’re more likely to do so during their grand openings.
- Find out when free food is offered by chain restaurants. For example, Dunkin Donuts usually offers customers a free donut and beverage on National Donuts Day. Rita’s offers free Italian ice on the first day of spring. Of course this isn’t a long-term solution, but it can get you a free treat.
- You may also want to consider getting a job at a restaurant. While some restaurants offer their employees discounts, others let their workers eat for free. This can be a great way to make some extra money and get some free food in the process.
- Some restaurants may give away food at closing time. Find out if there are any restaurants in your area that do.
- You could also try bartering. That is where you actually do something for someone else and instead of money you would get food. Some odd jobs you could offer are….
- Mowing the grass.
- Cleaning windows.
- Taking their children to the park.
- Raking leaves.
- Cleaning their home.
As you can see, you don’t have to go hungry. There are a number of ways you can find free food without begging for it.
