Verizon is giving away free backpacks filled with school supplies on Sunday, July 23, from 1-4pm! Your child must be present and hopefully they're not dressed like the daper young man above, because that means they're 100% better dressed than me.

A full list of participating stores can be found below.

I was a nerdy, smart kid with my nose perpetually in a book and that trait carried over into adulthood. I'm the guy at the end of the bar more interested in reading my Kindle than socializing with strangers. Yet I've never been offered freebies based on how much I read or how smart I am! Oh, to be a kid again.

I should note I started this post in May, but kind of lost track of time 🙂 No worries though, as all the offers below should still be active for the rest of this summer or beyond. There are a lot of sites with dated lists on freebies for good grades, so I only included offers I could 100% verify.

Rewards via Report Cards

Cheryl's Cookies – As of 2017, their new program is called Cookies for A's. K-8th grade students can enter for a chance to win cookies for their A's. Simply upload your students report card here. At the end of every month through out the school year, they will randomly choose 5 lucky winners who each receive a box of cookies AND an extra box of cookies to hand deliver to their favorite teacher!

Applebee's – While not quite nationwide, they confirmed on Twitter that it's up to your local Applebee's as to whether or not they give out freebies for good grades.

Baskin Robbins – They also confirmed on Twitter that giving away free scoops is “at the discretion of each franchise owner.” So call your local creamery!

Chuck E. Cheese – Anybody can print their Super Student Award 🙂 It's a redeemable certificate for 10 free tokens per day, however a food purchase is required.

Jason's Deli – They replaced their old JDPickleCards offer with a new Kids Cash system. Kids under 12 got a free kid's meal at participating locations.

Kudzoo – Download their app either on iOS for iPhones or Google Play for Android. Students aged 13 or older can submit up to 5 report cards a year and earn Kudzoo cash. This can be redeemed at local stores, restaurants, and more.

Pizza Hut – Each marking period, any child who has 3 A’s or the equivalent thereof, will receive one Personal Pan Pizza and a small soft drink or carton of milk by presenting his or her report card to the manager. This offer is good for Elementary and Middle School students. Dine-in only. Students must be present and the original report card must be presented. Available at participating locations.

I'll keep this list updated as I find new offers, so if you find anything I missed, please let me know in the comments!

EDIT: This freebie quickly died in April, but Size 3 has restocked!

By the time I eventually have kids, I’m going to have so many samples like these free Huggies Overnites diapers saved up that I won't ever have to buy diapers. At least that's my plan. I never was great at sketching out my future. Cases in point: my history degree, the fact that I don't presently have kids, this “career.”

As luck would have it, Coupons.com has some great Huggies coupons available for printing!

Click on the free sample tab to locate the signup form for free Animal Parade Warm Milk children's chewable sleep support. You know, in my day, we used warm milk as our warm milk.

Or wait, are these warm milk flavored? Ewwww.

This link for free Cuties diapers should take you straight to a signup form. It's been coming up and down all day, so if the form doesn't appear, try clicking the link a few hours later. Just tell your kid to hold it for a while.

Walmart isn't the only store giving away baby freebies. If you're expecting a little bundle of sleepless nights, then spend a few minutes making a baby registry on Target.com and you'll get a free baby welcome kit valued at $50!

Note these kits aren't mailed. Instead, you'll need to pick them up at Guest Services at your local Target. However, it's well worth it, as many of the samples are full sized along with tons of coupons. Make sure to bring either photo ID or a crying baby to pick it up.

Update: I believe this is still active, though it doesn't seem to work on mobile. It works best in Chrome or Firefox and you'll need to let the page load completely before the link to the signup form appears!

Walmart has restocked their free baby welcome boxes! In order to access the signup form, let the page completely load. Then look for the pink “Welcome Box” text near the top left. It looks like this:

After clicking that, a new page should load with a signup form. If that page doesn't load, please let us know in the comments, as that means the free sample box has probably expired for now.
