Free Is a Great Price! Get It TODAY!

CreditBloggers.com is all about saving money, and there's no price better than free – if there are no strings attached and if it doesn't entice you to over-spend. To wit:

Taco Bell ran a promotion, where if anyone stole a base in the World Series, everyone in the U.S. could  get a free taco. Boston Red Sox centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury stole one in Game #2, so Taco Bell will give away one free Crunchy Seasoned Beef Taco to every customer from 2 - 5 PM on Oct. 30 – that's today!

The only strings seem to be the date and time. Of course, Taco Bell would be delighted to have you buy more food and drinks while you're there. Just don't let it bust your budget!

Will you take Taco Bell up on its offer for a light late lunch or an early dinner? Please let us know if you did, how you liked it, and whether it led you to spend more on fast food today than you would have without the freebie.

Bon appetit!
