^{Published in Food and Wine on Tuesday, June 3rd 2025 at 3:27 GMT by PBS}

An unusual Virginia store invites neighbors to shop for what they need... and pay nothing.

The video "The Shopping Spree That's Always Free" from PBS highlights the concept of "free" shopping through various examples and perspectives. It explores how the notion of "free" influences consumer behavior, often leading to increased spending due to the perceived value of free items. The video discusses different marketing strategies that companies use to attract customers with free offers, such as buy-one-get-one-free deals and free trials. It also delves into the psychological impact of the word "free" and how it can override rational decision-making. Additionally, the video touches on the environmental and economic implications of free promotions, suggesting that while they may seem beneficial to consumers, they can have hidden costs. Overall, the video aims to educate viewers on the complexities and consequences of the "free" shopping phenomenon.
