The anarchist 1960s countercultural group the Diggers opened free stores which simply gave away their stock, provided free food, distributed free drugs, gave away money, organized free music concerts, and performed works of political art. The Diggers took their name from the original English Diggers led by Gerrard Winstanley and sought to create a mini-society free of money and capitalism. Although free stores have not been uncommon in the United States since the 1960s, the freegan movement has inspired the establishment of more free stores.

The White House Peace Vigil, started by Thomas in 1981 and supported by tax resister Ellen Thomas. Other tax resisters change their lifestyles so that they owe less tax. For instance; to avoid consumption taxes on alcohol, a resister might home-brew beer; to avoid excise taxes on gasoline, a resister might take up cycling; to avoid income tax, a resister may reduce their income below the tax threshold by embracing simple living or a freegan lifestyle. For example, UK citizens pay no income tax if their income is below the personal allowance.

Their next person of interest is Lucien Barlier, the charismatic leader of the underground Freegans. He claims that Chalmers, under the assumed name of "Bob Smith," joined the Freegan community, and encouraged several of the Freegans who looked up to Barlier to "break away" and follow him in actively punishing consumerists instead of just living off their refuse. Stottlemeyer later discovers that, for Bob Smith/Nathan Chalmers, this meant committing identity theft with papers salvaged from peoples' trash cans, and stealing thousands, perhaps millions, of euros. Aimee, it seems, left Barlier to go with Chalmers.

The publisher says that Aimee quit in protest after the company rejected a graphic novel submitted by her lover, Antoine Bisson, a freelance artist. Bisson, it seems, enjoys exploring Paris's underground community, and his novel featured a romanticized portrait of a Freegan community that occupies condemned buildings and the tunnels. As part of their stand against consumerism, they do not hold jobs and instead subsist on food and other wares salvaged from other people's garbage. Bisson, disgusted, admits during questioning that Aimee was carried away by the romance and decided to join the community, ignoring its grittier reality.

For reasons that have never been explained, it was increasingly shown as wearing a V for Vendetta Guy Fawkes mask (though this is likely a reference to the fact that Guy Fawkes failed to complete the gunpowder plot). On 17 April 2006 a pair of rival groups wearing Fawkes masks confronted each other outside the New York City offices of Warner Brothers and DC Comics. One group, led by freegan Adam Weismann, protested against a perceived misrepresentation of the Anarchist movement in the film V for Vendetta. The other group, led by libertarian Todd Seavey, counter-protested against the anarchists, wearing masks purportedly supplied by a Time Warner employee.

Whether it is a book, a piece of furniture, a garment or a household item, it is all freely given away, although some operate a one-in, one-out–type policy (swap shops). The free store is a form of constructive direct action that provides a shopping alternative to a monetary framework, allowing people to exchange goods and services outside a money-based economy.
