myLot reputation of 99/100. andalond (3375) 3 years ago

Ok today we had to go out to return a few items at the store, then had a dental appointment that lasted forever!rolleyes We went to the mall since I got a $10 voucher from JCPenney for merchandise. I bought a pair of pants and a shirt for one of my sons since he was the only one who needed an extra outfit. As we walked through the mall they were having a some kind of event that was free. Ok you filled out a card, visited four booths to get their signature and picked a pair of jeans donated by Goodwill for someone. In the center of the whole event they had mini hamburgers, Pizza bagel bites, brownies, meatballs, cookies, margita slushes (non-alcoholic) and cranberry juice, piece of bread with something on it totally free!shocked You could eat as much as you wanted without paying as long as you spent times in the center of the mall. I couldn't believe it but we ate these little gourmet appetizers for nothing!drool I don't have to cook dinner now because the kids are full. I told my husband that we were blessed. Who would have ever thought there was free food at the mall.

 

have fun

You are lucky. In my place never have to eat to one's free will.
Thanks for sharing...

It was so much fun just being able to eat free. I think the caterer was the local restaurant which might have been Applebees or Chilis.

Free is good, isn't it? Sounds like youall had a good and very busy day. What about your husband? You had to cook for him, didn't you? Or did he just warm up something? I imagine youall are tired now, aren't you? I'm just glad youall had such a blessed day.happy Kathy.


myLot reputation of 99/100. andalond (3375)  3 years ago

No I didn't have to cook for him since he ate around 4 mini burgers, meatballs, pizza bites, and the other stuff they had there. I kept the ladies at the booth busy telling me about their products. I told my kids to eat up since the food was free. Vendors who were supposed to try to sell you stuff had plates with food behind them and just signed cards so they could eat. It was so good, especially the mini hamburgers.rasp


myLot reputation of 99/100. cyrus123 (3255)   ranked 11 out of 477 in have fun  3 years ago

Oh, I see. Your husband went with you. Or did you just take some of this food home to him? Kathy.


myLot reputation of 99/100. andalond (3375)  3 years ago

He was with me since we were looking for uniforms at JCPenney with the 10 dollar voucher. We decided to take a walk to Children's Place which is down the mall when we ran into this event.

That is what I consider a benefit. We sometimes have those special circumstances too. Not so much with the free food, but there are drawings for other things. Like money, free trips, free movies, etc. I try to enter each one, for they change every year. Glad you got something for your time :)


myLot reputation of 99/100. andalond (3375)  3 years ago

Here is the link to the whole event

http://www.themallofvicto...

They don't mention the food but that is what they served. I was so content after spending time in the food area that we just left afterwards. The kids were so excited because they had those little slushies of margarita mixes with no alcohol so they felt happy. wink


myLot reputation of 99/100. andalond (3375)  3 years ago

I know what you mean I went to an immunization fair but all they served were hot dogs, chips, juices, fruit, and a granola bar. This was actually catered. Goodwill donated the jeans and you just had to pick one out to donate. No cost at all. I really didn't understand why they would serve so much food for just a simple event.

Thanks for the link, I will be sure to check it out ;)

I had that same $10 coupon that came in the mail a few days ago. I went to the mall yesterday and bought 2 uniform skirts for my daughters. They were on sale at buy one get one for $1.00 and it is no sales tax week here in Florida so they came out to $12.36 for both of them. That is a very good savings as they are regularly priced at $21.99 each!

shocked

I think that is wonderful that you got free dinner at the mall and that it wasn't crappy food at all, but really good food!

thumbup

It is nice when you get unexpected surprises like this. Were there alot of other people there doing what you were doing or were you only one of a few?

Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

myLot reputation of 99/100. andalond (3375)  3 years ago

I went for the exact same thing for one of my kids. They all have two sets of uniforms each but I have a hard time finding some of them because they use either husky or regular. Alot of people didn't know what was going on. I am sure alot of people that you had to purchase something since it was a charity type event. I told several ladies who were passing by to get a card and don't be afraid. We had a nice time and yes I was amazed that it wasn't just cookies with punch. The mini hamburgers were the best. A person kept bringing food to put on the trays. The kids enjoyed those little margita slushies (non alcoholic).

How super cool is that! I'm totally jealous! I always end up missing these kinds of events - when they give away free stuff. sad. How lucky for you. On Black Friday one year (a super-shopping day, the day after Thanksgiving) I got a free Christmas Tree ornament. But that's about it. lol.


myLot reputation of 99/100. andalond (3375)  3 years ago

I search the internet for free events when possible. Another one coming up is one in our city. They are going to be giving out free backpacks, food, and medical & dental stuff for the people in the community.

Hi, well it sounds like you had a very busy day. Yes they have free food at the mall. But it has to be like you did a pro mo thing. I have been busy and yeah. You have a great day. Your friend who was missing again. Onlydia


myLot reputation of 99/100. andalond (3375)  3 years ago

I have really missed you but I knew you had started working and wasn't too happy with the whole thing. How are things going?


myLot reputation of 100/100. schulzie (2453)   ranked 89 out of 477 in have fun  3 years ago

It's good to see you back on here. How have you been lately? I hope you're working now again.


myLot reputation of 98/100. onlydia (1685)   ranked 115 out of 477 in have fun  3 years ago

Well they are going that is about it. I just look at the phone still as I still have not caught up with my bills. But then I guess it could be worse I could be laid off again. I have to go see a Dr. that you sit and talk to and they tell you yes and then time is up. I have not went yet. Your friend onlydia
