There's no such thing as a free lunch... pah!
He championed free-market economics and was said to be the intellectual godfather behind the Thatcher and Reagan eras. But Milton Friedman, the economist who has died aged 94, will perhaps be remembered best for his observation "There's no such thing as a free lunch".
The Monitor is inclined to agree – at least, when the much-lamented Lunchtime Bonus Question was in its prime, there really was no such thing as a free lunch as it would devote its hour-long break to churning through e-mail responses sent in by fanatical LBQers.
In a monetary sense, however, the Monitor must take issue with Mr Friedman's glib observation. Free lunches are there to be had, you just need to know where to look?
So, in a one-off revival of the Friday Challenge – all for the good of Children in Need, you understand – where is the best place to look for a free lunch?
Your best suggestions below.
