owt for nowt

Anything for nothing (no cost)

As penniless children when we were hoping for some free handouts and when biscuits were sold loose from large tins of biscuits we would ask the local grocer if they had any free broken biscuits (which couldn’t be sold) or we might ask “ have you got owt for nowt?” at a jumble sale or a fair.
