No Free lunch – “There is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch”

Begin this case by listing products that you may think you might be able to get for free. (for example, coupons for free food or drinks at fast food restaurants or buy-one—get one- free gimmicks). After making the list, please write an analysis, based on personal experience, research, and other resources as to how a restaurant or other place of business would be able to pay for that product. Discuss how no product is really free, how producers may raise the price of other items to pay for the so-called free items. Justify the term many economic educators use: TINSTAAFL. TINSTAAFL is an acronym for There Is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch. Explain the notion that nothing in life is free because there is scarcity and each society must deal with this scarcity
