A trick I learned from a friend while in grad school. When they have football games, walk around the tailgate parties right before the game is about to start, people will almost pay you to take their extra food so that they can get to the game. And it's usually pretty good food...

For better results, go next to the ones thrown by corporations. They usually order too much food and the employees do not care and do not want to bring the food back home.

Oh.. and bring an empty backpack :)

I had a friend in college who went everywhere with two tupperware containers. When he was asked whether or not he wanted left overs he would feign a no, but as soon as he was asked a second time he would say "I guess so" and pull out his tupperware.

I remember carrying two flats of Gatorade from a football game back to my dorm room over two miles away to save some cash in college.

My arms hurt for a week.
