Make your Sim get a snack then when he/she is "in" the fridge, and then cancel the action: The Sim should have dropped the snack. Then make them eat it: They wont pay.

Make your Sim prepare a meal, and when you see the things they use to make it, go to buy mode and use the "move_objects on" cheat* and put the meal somewhere: then make them prepare it: they won’t pay. Tip: if you want them to use the food processor put it on the FLOOR close to the food processor. *this might work without the cheat.
