There are quite a few early attributes of the phrase. Like all things these days it gets attributed to someone on the Internet and sticks regardless of the truth. I guess we need to find the actual writings to verify. I have read (nearly) everything Hemingway has written and I don’t recall it, though it has been many years since I read it and I could certainly be mistaken. Given that it (may?) appear to have been written ~80 years before Hemingway perhaps he did use it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_ain't_no_such_thing_as_a_free_lunch http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/tanstaafl.html
