We all love a clever loophole. It could be a newly discovered way to get free stuff. It could be a way to get out of responsibility. Regardless of what the purpose of the loophole is, there is a special kind of satisfaction that comes with discovering one. It's like discovering a secret that you and only you can benefit from for the time being. Like any secret, you have to be careful about the people with whom you share your discovery because you don't want to lose the precious gifts that come with your treasured loophole.

 

If you're a rule follower like me, then loopholes can be extra special, since you've managed to find a way to follow the rules while doing exactly what you want. Rarely in this universe do rule-followers get that opportunity. When you find a loophole (whether it's at work or with a store you shop at), hold onto it for dear life.

 

These folks shared their treasured loopholes via this r/AskReddit thread. Keep scrolling below for these top loopholes of the week. For more lists like this, here are some top Karen stories.

    Font - LiftingDa 21 hr. ago Walmart ran a promotion years ago on their groceries. Find a lower advertised price, they'll give you double the difference back. So, I'd go through the Sunday ads looking for items that end up free. For instance, items where Walmart would charge $2.99, but Albertsons had them on sale for $1.49. The difference is a buck fifty, so doubled I'd get $3 back on each one i bought. I would get tons of free items! Granola bars, yogurts, cereals, cake mixes, fancy breads, lots

Turns out they had a "now playing" and "up next" feature on their web site. My girlfriend at the time would start calling in before the second song even came on. Won tons of prizes ranging from concert tickets to a laptop.

    Font - . PoisonedIvysaur - 23 hr. ago A few years back, I signed on to Amazon music. My credit card got hacked, and I stopped using that one. I got a new one , and one was deleted, but my Amazon music unlimited kept trying with that card. So it would let me have the free 2-3 months and then not ab able to charge my card. This went on for a year or so until i got spotify. They since patched that. ↑ 57 ↓ Reply Share

    Font - LambentEnigma 19 hr. ago . When I was a kid, my mom had a rule that I couldn't take food out of the kitchen. I asked if I could take food that was already in my mouth out of the kitchen, and she said yes. So I put wrapped candies in my mouth, walked out of the kitchen, took them out of my mouth, unwrapped them, and ate them.

    Font - yop PrairieBunny91 - 16 hr. ago I used to work for a take and bake pizza place that would normally have some sort of coupon on the baking instructions. For a while they were running a $5 off promotion if you completed a survey. This coupon came on all their pizzas, including their simple pies, which were exactly $5 because we didn't have sales tax. So basically if you bought one pizza, you could get unlimited pizza for free, because you just bought the next one, did the survey and got the

This ment a C scored as a B, but in the whole scene of it, a C effort in an AP class was the same as a C effort in a regular class. Plus, if you took the AP final it didn't count against your grade. Skated my senior year doing C level work and taking the AP final to get that 3.0. Plus we got a free period to "Study". My favorite loop ho

There were coupons stuck to certain boxes of Family Size General Mills cereals, mostly Honey Nut Cheerios, that claimed to only work on boxes of cereal. Peeled one off, and tried it on a cereal cup, ($1.13 compared to $3-$4.93) and it WORKED. Got a few cups of 13 cent cereal before I ran out of boxes to take coupons off of.
