July 11-National French Fry Day Deals and Freebies!

Abby H.

I’m all about freebies, and I love French fries, so this freebie post is perfect.

7/11 is National French Fry Day. French fries aren’t French. Some say they were invented in Saratoga Springs, New York. Some say it was Thomas Jefferson who brought them back after his time in France. Regardless of where they are from, tomorrow you can grab some crispy, salty goodness.

I recommend downloading the apps for any of the restaurants that you may be visiting for free/cheap fries. More information and deal details are usually available via the apps.

Fast food:

Burger King: Royal Perks members can score free fries this Friday. More details on the app.

McDonald’s: The app has all sorts of good deals, including an offer good for a free medium order of fries with any purchase of $1 or more every Friday through the rest of the year.

Wendy’s: Check the app for a free order of fries of any size with any purchase on Friday.

Sonic Drive-in: Free tots or fries with any purchase via the app. The Sonic app has all sorts of great deals every day, including half-off sodas and limeades. The app limits you to one discount per purchase.

Del Taco: In the app, get a free regular fry with any purchase on July 11. Orders must be placed with the rewards app or online (to redeem the offer in the app, go to the “Rewards/Your Offers” section and save the deal, then opt to either Checkout or Order in Person). I love Del Taco crinkle cut fries with sour cream and Medium hot sauce mixed together.

Jack in the Box: download the app and get free fries on July 11 with any order placed in the app.

There are all sorts of deals and freebies for other restaurants for National French Fry Day; these are just a few available in my area.

It’s Free Coffee Day!

So it’s National Coffee Day.

In the past, there have been tons of freebies, but now… not so much.

I’m only posting deals available in Southern CA that are easy and FREE.

And, AHEM… THERE ARE NO STARBUCKS FREE COFFEE OFFERS FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LOCATIONS.

Krispy Kreme: Krispy Kreme rewards members get a free brewed coffee and doughnut of their choice Wednesday, no purchase necessary. Non-rewards members also can get a treat – a free brewed coffee with no required purchase.

Also, through Dec. 31, get a free glazed doughnut for showing a valid COVID-19 vaccination card.

If you have a Circle K nearby, this is a cool freebie: Text FREE to 31310 for a free cup of joe offer Wednesday.

There are free coffee WHEN YOU BUY offers or just straight deals. So if you are heading to Dunkin’, Coffee bean and Tea Leaf,  or Barnes and Noble, here are a few free with purchase offers.

Barnes & Noble: Get a free hot or iced tall coffee Wednesday with the purchase of any item from the “bake case” at store cafes.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf: With any food or beverage purchase $2 or more, get a free regular size brewed coffee Wednesday.

Dunkin’: If you are a Dunkin’ Rewards member (download the app from wherever you get apps), you can score a free medium hot or iced coffee with any purchase today.

McDonald’s:  99-cent hot or iced coffee through the end of the year on its app.

 

Two free offers at San Diego area McDonald’s!

Right now there are two great free offers at McDonald’s! Both of which are on the healthy side.

screen-shot-2016-09-08-at-9-50-19-amThis week, Sept. 8-10 from 7 to 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., visit a participating San Diego County McDonald’s restaurant to sample a Fruit ‘N Yogurt Parfait made with nonfat vanilla Chobani® Greek Yogurt.

Combined with the sweet taste of strawberries and blueberries, and topped with granola, Fruit ‘N Yogurt Parfaits are perfect for breakfast, as a side, or a mid-day snack – especially with the classic vanilla taste of Chobani® Greek Yogurt.  YUM! I think Bitty Bird and I will hit up our local McDo’s after the Y today and get a coffee and free Parfait!

And offer #2 is a favorite around these parts!

On Tuesday, Sept. 13, participating restaurants will offer free breakfast from 6:30-9:30 a.m. to students in kindergarten through eighth grade when an accompanying adult uses the McDonald’s App. In San Diego County, students can enjoy an Egg McMuffin or Egg White Delight, apple slices and milk.

To redeem this offer, an adult must download or have already downloaded the McDonald’s App, present the offer to the cashier and ask the cashier for the free back-to-school breakfast. Students younger than 13 years of age are required to be accompanied by a parent/adult to redeem this offer at participating McDonald’s restaurants. This offer may vary throughout the state and only one breakfast is allowed per student.

The MCDonald’s App is pretty cool. You can earn free McCafe Beverages, and there are coupons that are only available on the app (like BOGO happy meals and free upgrades!).

So there you go! Two tasty deals. Thanks to my Friend Su for the heads up on the second offer!
