Can you think of things that we used to get for free and now we have to pay for?

Our grocery store used to have buy two dozen eggs and get the 3rd one free.

Extra syrup for pancakes 🥞 at McDonald's was free, not anymore.

3 weeks ago, I bought a lot of cereal that was buy 2 boxes get 3 free so, I grabbed 15. The week before that they had the same deal with potato chips! I grabbed at least 20.

In my city? Parking space in the city was free during the ex Yugoslavia.
Now, in present-day Croatia, people have to pay for it (wonders of capitalism) :-P

I've not had free syrup for pancakes for about 30 years. You got one deal and extras always cost something that cost has gone up.

Some stores do certain promotions depending on the stores location and management or owners. It wasn't really free as you had to buy something for it.

Parking, when you go to anice restaurant. Used to be free, and you parked your own car. Now it's valet parking, you have to trust someone else to it wreck your car, and pay them to park it.

The delivery was free, the garlic paste dip cups were free if you asked for more when you buy broasted or grilled chicken and many more stuff...
