Talking Coming to events just to get free food

Has anyone ever done this?

I did this so many times in college that I've lost count.

I made a career out of this in college. It's partly why I got into PR. Vendors, media account execs and others always want to take you out for lunch. I never pass up the opportunity if the food is free!

ETA:
One of roommates from sophomore year and I would go to Publix on the days where they were giving out their food samples. We'd fill up on those so that we wouldn't have to pay for a meal.

It's one of the joys of being in school! There is ALWAYS an event with free food. Now of course you can't just run in, get a plate and leave. You have to stay for at least 5 mins., say "hey" to any faces you recognize and then hit the door.

It's a great way to save money. Still do it, except this time it's with better foods.

Without free events in college, I would have starved, or at least been malnourished.
