Matt did a report on getting things for free, which I suppose he thought was helpful for people during this economy.
The real gem:
-Matt points out that the free food given out a Price Club (is that east coast Costco?) is almost like a buffet. First of all, Matt- Everyone knows about the free samples at Costco. Second of all- that's not going to feed a family. Third of all- those ladies handing out the samples are on to the people that try and get more than one and they will beat you down.
But maybe Matt has some better ideas?
-Sign up for contests. The lady Matt talks to about this warns that you shouldn't give out your SSN, or address...yeah, this sounds like a winner of an idea.
Surely someone has something of value for this Today segment?
-Some lady has at least three pages of stuff that she has gotten free. What they don't tell you is that it's probably that crap that people put a sign on that says "Free". I did that to an old desk, put it out in front of the house and it was gone! People take free stuff just to take stuff. Doesn't mean it's stuff that they need or that will help.
The reason I'm so bothered is Matt, while closing up the segment, says to the woman who suggested the contests (paraphrasing) "it really is good for people out there."
Just what all rich people want to think.
