    Back in college my friend and I found pictures of a bunch of “free large anything no purchase necessary” coupons to like 3 different fast food joints. He was an art and graphic design major so he photoshopped the expiration dates so they were still valid and we would print stacks of them in the university library for free.

    We used them so many times the managers had to come out and be like, look we don’t know where you’re getting these coupons from but we called corporate and we’re not going to take them anymore. So what we did was drive out to the next restaurant further away and do it all over again.

    We must have gotten several hundred dollars of free food each over the course of a few months.

      We had something similar with domino’s pizza, but later corporate just changed the prices of the pizzas we were ordering to the employee discount we were using anyway, so no more couponing

      Maybe less cool, but back in uni, I figured out how to get free Cokes from the vending machine by using my freakishly long and thing arms to pull on the chain inside. I’d bring a friend with bags and we’d absolutely clean out the machines in the middle of the night.

      This was before CCTV was everywhere, you probably couldn’t do this now.
