My nickname is Sin for a reason. Call me evil, call me Sinister, for I care not. I simply hand you the fruit of knowledge, whether you shall partake, why that is your decision.... Okay I don’t really talk or write like Satan or Dr Evil. I do have the nickname Sin though (long story for another time) and I do like to share hidden knowledge for the greater good of humanity. Perhaps I am more like Prometheus than Satan. Anyhow, let’s get on with it.

I plan on writing stories daily on here so if you follow me on here, upvote, and share my stories, you will have a chance almost everyday to win at least $100.
2.Free Breakfast:
Empty kitchen pantry? Have nothing in your fridge for breakfast? Why pay your hard earned money for your breakfast when you can enjoy an all you can eat breakfast BUFFET and not pay a single penny? All you need to do is head to the nearest hotel that offers guest a free breakfast buffet, walk in as if you’re a guest (optionally, you can bring an empty suitcase as a prop to help you appear as a guest), head to the buffet, pile up your plate, and enjoy. After you’re finished eating, you can even grab those small boxes of cereal, packets of oatmeal, or fruit and put them in your suitcase to take home afterwards.
3.Free Starbucks:
Order your favorite Starbucks, have a friend “accidentally” pick up your drink you ordered and leave. Then, after a few minutes has passed, ask the employees where your order is. They will have no choice but to give you a second drink for free.
4.Free Appliances:
Have a broken kitchen appliance and need it replaced? Why pay for a new one? Chances are, it wasn’t your fault it died because the manufacturer hired cheap labor resulting in faulty products anyways.
Simply go to the store, buy the exact same appliance, go home and swap out the broken appliance for the new one, and return the old, broken appliance for a refund. Ta dah, you got a free appliance. I had a friend do this with a digital camera so it can work with other products.
5. Free Hotel Rooms:
Hampton Inn has a 100% money back guarantee. If you for any reason you aren’t happy with your room, they will refund or comp your room. So:
• Get a room at the Hampton Inn
• Enjoy the living hell out of your stay
• Upon checking out, complain about how unsatisfied you are with your room (too hot, too cold, water didn’t run right, too noisy, or any other creative complaint you can come up with)
• Per their own 100% money back guarantee, they have to refund your room.
6. Free Movies:
Two Hacks Are:
1. Find the movie playing times of your local movie theater. Once you buy your ticket for a movie, you can then watch one movie after another for free since they only check your ticket upon entering the theater.
2. After getting passed the person checking tickets, you can return to him or her minutes later, tell them you’re using the restroom.
- Have a friend who hasn’t bought a ticket meet you in that restroom, hand them your ticket stub, they can then use that stub to get past the employee who checks the tickets, and because you already told the person checking the tickets that you were using the restroom, you can easily return into the theater without having to show you ticket. I have a friend who successfully does this every time he and his buddies go to the theater. Him and his buddies watch multiple movies for free and only pay for one ticket.
7. Free E-Books:
There are three effective hacks for getting paid e-books for free:
1. http://en.bookfi.net has over 2.2 MILLION e-books that you can search and download for free, many of which are paid e-books.
2. Scribd: The Scribd website/app has millions of paid e-books users who have uploaded to it for free as well. The easiest way to find the book you want is to Google Search Scribd + (the name of the e-book and author of the book you’re looking for)
3. If all else fails, simply Google Search Free .pdf + (the name of the e-book and author of the book you’re looking for).
It’s rare that the e-book you’re searching for won’t come up with at least one of these 3 methods. Bookfi alone has almost every e-book imaginable.
8. Free Windshield:
Broken or cracked windshield? Get behind a truck hauling dirt or gravel, call the 1-800 number on the back of the truck, call it, and claim it was damaged by flying rocks from their truck. Once they verify that one of their trucks was in that area, they will pay to have it fixed for you.
9. Free Soda for Life:
Keep your cup or ask for a cup when at a fast food restaurant. Anytime you want a free soda, casually walk in and fill that cup. It’s basically unlimited refills, for life ;-)
10. Free Parking 
Most parking garages don’t charge people who are only in the garage for a few minutes. The next time you park in one, when you are heading back into the garage, go up to the machine, press the button for a new ticket, then when paying, simply use your new ticket instead of your old ticket. They usually won’t charge you anything or the minimum parking fee which will save you money either way.
11. Free $50 Dinner:
When dining out, pay with your credit card but don’t sign the receipt. As long as the charge is under $50, you can simply contact your credit card company to contest the charge and get it refunded.
12. Free Redbox Movies:
The best promo codes for free rentals
• These are the codes given to the business that is hosting the Red box machine. They are allowed one free movie a day for hosting the machine. The codes allow for 1 rental every 24 hours. They are:
o “redbox”
o “breakroom”
o “brkroom”
13. Free Pokemon Go Coins:
A group of hackers have created a webpage that allows you to generate free Pokemon Go coins, no catches, no gimmicks. To do so:
• Go to http://pokemongocheats.io
• Enter your Pokemon Go Username and click Connect
• Select desired amount of coins
• Select generate and wait for it to finish
• Click human verification and your done. Enjoy!
14. Paid Apps for Free:
Its amazing the lengths we will go to save a few dollars on an app that can least give us years value yet we have no problem paying the same price for an overpriced Starbucks MochaCappocinoLatte Espresso that is gone within minutes. However, fret not, just as I gave you the Life Hack for free Starbucks, I am now going to give you the Life Hack for getting paid apps for free.
Again guys, please don’t break any laws or regulations, this is for entertainment value only ;-)
To get free paid iPhone apps and do so without having to jailbreak the phone, use these 3 sites:
2. http://cydiatech.com/zestia-cydia-alternative-ios-iphone-ipad/
Some of the apps downloaded from this site need to be selected as Trusted in order to get the free paid apps to work. To do this, simply:
• Go to phone settings menu
• Select general
• Select Profiles & Device Management
• Select the options
• Press Trust and the app should work
• Enjoy your free paid app
So, that only took….FOUR HOURS to research, type, load images, and edit. Now I still have to figure out how to upload it! The things I do for humanity!! And for views, money, popularity, fame that will never come but as least I admit it, right?
Seriously though, thanks for reading this guys. This is my first story here on Steemit. I have no idea what to expect here but I hope to be able to use it to ad value to the lives of others on here.

My, you're such a sheepskate!
I do the appliance trick you mentioned all the time. Works great with video games to. I get excited every time a friend gives me an xbox disk they scratched. Buy a new copy, put scratched disk in new box, return to wall mart and get a new copy then sell it on ebay for $15 bucks off. You get a fresh disk, and $50 bucks. Works great at Wal Mart.
As Peter Griffin says "that friggen sweet!"
Lol. The soda thing used to be my life when I was a penniless little vagabond.
There was one Carls Jr. who caught me filling a water cup. But I was never caught bringing my own cup. I think it kind of is off the radar of what they're trained to respond to. (They don't want their staff making judgment calls and once in a while challenging someone who actually bought it.)
Plus, I'll spend my $2 or whatever of lunch money somewhere else if you challenge me, so you may as well let me poach a little soda and then I'll dine there :p
Wow, this is by far the best "Life Hack" list I've ever seen! I love your ingeniousness in coming up with all these tricks, man! You earned yourself a new follower!
By the way, I too created a list of life hacks that I think everyone should know - feel free to check it out and leave an upvote!
