How to get holiday freebies without spending

• Register early for workshops: free kids' workshops at home improvement stores fill up and usually open registration a few weeks ahead.
• Read "free gift" as "gift with purchase": most Black Friday gifts need an order or a minimum spend, so check before you buy anything you weren't going to.
• Join rewards programs before the day: many holiday perks go to members only, and signing up is free.
• Check your city's page for local events: light shows, tree lightings and Santa visits are often free and listed by city.
