Free Friday: Terrific food freebies and more

Independence Day got us pumped up here at PennySaverUSA.com earlier this week and we wanted to bring it even more than usual for Free Friday! This week’s edition includes several great freebies, especially in the food category. Enjoy …

free Chick-Fil-A

Get a free Chick-Fil-A meal on Free Friday for dressing like a cow!

Leading off the freebies in this Free Friday is Chick-Fil-A. It’s one of our favorite fast-food chains around the PennySaverUSA offices and we are all very excited about this one. In celebration of Cow Appreciation Day, participating locations will reward anyone (today only) who comes in dressed at least partially as a cow with a free meal! That’s well worth getting your Mooo on.

The next of the Free Friday freebies comes from P.F. Chang’s. The enormously popular Chinese food restaurant chain is giving away its signature lettuce wraps for free! All you have to do is “Like” their Facebook page. SCORE!

Arby’s didn’t want to be left out of the Free Friday freebies fun, either. They are currently running a promotion in which you can get a free Value Menu item with any purchase by printing this online coupon.

Also joining the freebies party on Free Friday is Chili’s Grill & Bar. The restaurant is handing out online coupons for free chips and queso for anyone who joins their email club. Can’t get much simpler than that.

The final food entry among this week’s Free Friday freebies is for cereal. Quaker is sending a free sample of its Oatmeal Squares cereal to anyone who “Likes” their Facebook page and fills out a short form.

free dave & busters

With all that Free Friday eating you’re bound to do, you have to work it off somehow, right? What more fun way than to go to Dave & Buster’s and play some games! Through Sunday, they are giving away a $10 play card to anyone who signs up for their email list. Good times indeed.

None of these freebies are possible if you aren’t feeling well enough to go out. That’s why BreatheRight earns the honor to close out this edition of Free Friday. If you complete a brief registration, they will send you a sample of their product that helps open your nasal passages and breathe better.

Have a great weekend, and remember to check back every week for the best freebies from around the web on Free Friday!

Like fried chicken? Get an outstanding online coupon to KFC

On the day after the celebration of American independence, PennySaverUSA.com is happy to combine and glorify two of America’s greatest traditions: Fried chicken and an online coupon.

There are few items as tasty as fried chicken – at least in this blogger’s humble opinion. And while there is much debate as to which restaurant chain has the best fried chicken, the vote in this corner goes to KFC.

The Colonel knows what he’s doing, and it’s evidenced by the astonishing number of locations world-wide and how incredibly popular the brand has become over the years.

Sure, KFC offers some great sides such as mashed potatoes, baked beans and corn, but the star remains the fried chicken. Just thinking about it causes a craving.

kfc-online-coupon

One of the other qualities that separate KFC from the competition is the price. Especially when they have a great online coupon running. Now is one such time. Locations around Southern California (not including San Diego) are honoring National Fried Chicken Day on Wednesday, July 6, with an amazing online coupon. You can get eight pieces of chicken for just $4.99. What are you waiting for … go get your online coupon.

It wouldn’t be fair to acknowledge that not everyone loves KFC, and that’s completely cool. Some do enjoy KFC, but prefer rivals – also fine. For those who fall in those camps, PennySaverUSA.com does feature other online coupons for fried chicken restaurants.

But for those of us KFC fans, online coupons like the one for Wednesday are a reason to rejoice. Enjoy the crunchy goodness!

“Favorite Teachers” online contest winner announcement

The voting for the PennySaverUSA.com “Favorite Teachers” online contest came down to the wire and was extremely close.

In the end, No. 5 was barely able to hold off a furious rally from No. 4 and emerge victorious.

online contest

Finalist #5 wins the $250 prize from our "Favorite Teachers" online contest.

The final tally shows how remarkably tight this race was as No. 5 finished with 25 votes, compared to No. 4’s 24 votes.

While No. 5 holds the crown and wins the $250 cash prize, No. 4 and the rest of the finalists deserve credit. The judges waded through over 70 entries to make the very difficult cut-down to five and each of those five would have been worthy winners.

It was a pleasure for all of the PennySaverUSA.com judges to read all of the creatively written entries, and we hope all our blog visitors and voters got as much enjoyment from the experience of reading the entries from the finalists as we did.

This online contest might be over, but there is another on the way from PennySaverUSA.com that will be announced later this week, and our new daily deal site SaverTime.com has an awesome online contest running right now as well.

Just by signing up for the best local daily deals on everyday things like groceries, food, home repair, beauty care and more, you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for four to Disneyland! No entry is required; you are eligible just by being a SaverTime member. You can’t beat that.

From all of us here at PennySaverUSA.com, we hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend and thanks for entering our online contests.

Free Friday: Tons of great offers for free stuff

Hey, hey, hey, what can I say, it’s just one of those Free Friday days! That time of the week when PennySaverUSA.com highlights the best offers for free stuff from around the web.

free-honey-nut-cheerios1

Sign up to receive free Honey Nut Cheerios.

Kicking off the free stuff in this Free Friday is an offer for Honey Nut Cheerios. It’s the favorite cereal of yours truly, PennySaverUSA.com blogger Jason Feller, and the opportunity to get it for free was too good not to put in the No. 1 spot. Making this offer for free stuff even better is that it also includes an online coupon for $0.75. All you have to do is fill out a short form and sign up for the Betty Crocker newsletter.

Given that this is the last Holiday Weekend for a couple of months, it stands to reason that the next Free Friday offer for free stuff would be for a fun outing. Bank of America is giving all of its account holders, who have a credit or debit card, free access to over 153 cultural institutions, including museums, zoos, botanical gardens and more.

McDonalds makes its first entry into Free Friday this week. The Golden Arches have an online coupon for a free smoothie, with the purchase of another smoothie. When Ronald McDonald has offers for free stuff it’s always worth a mention.

With Independence Day on a Monday, this weekend figures to be one of the biggest party weekends of the year. The next Free Friday offer for free stuff is for all you social butterflies. You want to be smelling good when you arrive on the scene, so take advantage of this offer for free fragrance from Hugo Boss.

We’ve all been there. You are out somewhere and everything is going great and then it happens. You spill something on your shirt and suddenly look like a sloppy mess. Thanks to the next Free Friday offer for free stuff, you have nothing to worry about. Shout is giving out samples of its “Wipe & Go” wipes product, if you fill out a short form.

Admit it. Many of you are already thinking about what you can add to your home from Ikea this holiday weekend. Well, if you have kids or are a college student, you can at least get some free grub in the process. The furniture chain is offering a free entree for college students on Saturday and free food for kids all weekend.

free dog food

Get your dog some free food from Alpo.

The final Free Friday offer for free stuff is catered to your dog. It just didn’t feel right to not let Sparky (or whatever your dog’s name is) in on the fun. Alpo is giving away free samples of its Prme Cuts dog food to anyone who agrees to “Like” their Facebook page.

That’s it for this edition of Free Friday. Have a great holiday weekend everyone!
