Just sign up to get a free loyalty card at Waitrose and IKEA and you can have a free cup of tea every day absolutely free. Sign up for John Lewis’ free loyalty card and watch for their free tea vouchers too. And McDonald’s also offer free tea occasionally. Just download their app.
4. What’s better than a free massage?
When visiting London, be sure to stop in at the North London School of Sports Massage (NLSSM) to get a free sports massage administered by a trainee. They offer these massages as a way of meeting exam or class requirements. In other areas of the UK, you can visit Salon GuineaPig for a free massage from a trainee.
5. Grab some free clothes!
Clothing and accessory swaps are very popular both online and in the real world. Find a swishing website or join a swishing party to swap clothes with others – no money required! Here are some suggestions:
- Swap in the City UK
- Swap Style
- Swishing
These are well organised swap events; however, you can also set up your own private event with your friends.
6. Learn for free!
There are many great programs in the UK that offer free online courses. FutureLearn is just one of them. While you will not earn a degree for taking these courses, you will gain a great deal of knowledge and have access to some of the best educational resources available. Other free learning resources include:
- The VirtualInstructor.com
- Free-Online-Art-Classes.com
If you want to learn a new language, download free apps such as Busuu and Duolingo.
7. Get free samples!
Take a few moments to write a letter or send an e-mail complimenting your favourite businesses. Before you know it, you’ll be getting samples by post along with coupons for money off. To sweeten the pot, let the companies you write to know that you are singing their praises on your blog or social media sites. They love that! Just make sure you follow through with your promises. Taking this bit of extra effort is sure to gain you more free stuff and coupons.
8. Travel for free!
Earn free credits by referring friends and using only the Uber app when you have built credits. By doing this, you’ll never have to pay high prices to travel by taxi again. You can travel for free around the world by volunteering. Make yourself available as crew on a private vessel by signing up at:
- CrewBay
- FindaCrew
- CrewSeekers
9. Enjoy pets for free!
Volunteer with the RSPCA to enjoying playing with cats, walking dogs and helping out at the rescue centre. You can also go to Gumtree and use the Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers section.
10. Get free meals in restaurants!
Mystery shoppers visit restaurants and enjoy meals for free. Afterwards, they review the restaurants for the purpose of market research. The more reviews you complete and the more reliable your services are, the more work you will get. I used to work as a Mystery Shopper myself and it was lots of fun! The following companies are always looking for new Mystery Shoppers to join their teams:
- MarketForce
- TNS Global
- GapBuster
