Free Stuffin Is 'Putting The Recess In Recession' For Millions Of Americans

NEW YORK, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- With the economy in one of the deepest recessions in history, savvy Americans are turning to Free Stuffin as their publication of choice for surviving and thriving in these difficult economic times.  Free Stuffin is an ever-expanding guide to the art and science of getting something for nothing that provides readers with fun and practical suggestions for getting more than they deserve.

Free Stuffin teaches its readers how to thrive in this economy by educating them about the technique of schnorring – a distinctively Yiddish word – to find innovative ways to getting more out of everything.  Ed Goodgold, a Free Stuffin writer, describes the Schnorrer as the person who not only appreciates getting something for nothing, but also feels entitled to it.  "He's the person who grabs the last french fry from a communal plate, dines off of supermarket tastings, sweet talks someone into giving them a lift a half hour out of their way, and stuffs his face with macadamia nuts while leaving the peanuts for the peasants."

Schnorring isn't about clipping coupons or penny pinching; it's about taking information that is out there and using it for both fun and profit.  "The schnorring trend is becoming increasingly popular as people seek out small victories in this hostile economy," says Michael Lieberman, a Free Stuffin writer.

Free Stuffin lets readers in on some of the most schnorable spots such as Starbucks, 7-11, Dunkin' Donuts, Netflix, Home Depot, Olive Garden, Chipotle, and any location that offers free samples.   Rather than distancing themselves from Free Stuffin, large retailers have enjoyed being featured on the web site.  "Well-known and popular brands are embracing the schnorring philosophy in order to reach the more cost-conscious consumer," says Gregg Schwartz, founder of Free Stuffin.  "Brands like Chipotle are tweeting their customers to read our articles."  And with thousands of visitors and twitter followers, the site is garnering much attention.

Part of the online publication's appeal is that readers can contribute personal schnorring techniques and become an instant schnorring celebrity.  These anecdotes have transformed schnorring into realms previously unimaginable - from dating to hospital visits.  As Goodgold says "to schnorr is human, to boast about it, divine."
