Freebees!

Isn't it funny how hard some people work to get things for free? I am definitely on top of that list of people. Tonight, I spent a lot of my evening running around Soho looking for a free goody bag for a Lucky Magazine shopping event. After my friend and I finally scored our gift bags, there were countless girls who asked us where we got them. If they only knew that the bags contained a magazine and a few crappy lip gloss samples they might not have been so eager to get them.

Free things are so much fun though. It is like a little bonus that you get for doing nothing but just being in the right place at the right time (the key is to get one before they run out). Another fun thing to get for free are drinks. In the city there are a few open bars that happen every once in awhile. It is a nice change of pace to get a drink for free rather thank pay upwards of $12 for one. An open bar is sometimes the devil in disguise. The drinks are free which make you drink more, and sometimes faster if there is a time limit, which gets you drunk pretty quickly. Usually the open bars are right after work which means that they are before any sort of dinner, another hazard of the open bar.

Just like anything else, it is only good in moderation. Too many free drinks - well, you can guess what happens. Too many free gift bags - they lose their luster and appeal. Too many free shoes - there is nothing wrong with that. I can't wait until that day comes for me!
