Hey, It's Free!Daily freebies, free stuff, and free samples!
I'm sure I don't have to tell you that August 6 is National Root Beer Day. What you might not realize is we get a free A&W root beer float from 2pm-8pm as part of their annual celebration. All you have to do is stop by your local A&W and pick up your freebie.
Okay wiseguy, you're right, that's not all you'll have to do. You'll need to walk inside or at least go around the drive-tru and ask for your freebie. It's not like the floats will be sitting outside in the parking lot.

Nestle is giving away coupons for free 8-packs of water of their varying brands. These brands are region-specific, because it's a well established fact that every region of the world drinks different water. Can't have the same, basic, life-sustaining water sold under the same brand nationwide – that'd be madness! I once drank Oregon water after growing up exclusively on South Carolina and it put me in the hospital for 10 years.
If you live in any of the states listed below or know these brands are sold near you, then request a coupon and you should receive it in 4-8 weeks. You have until 9/30/19 to request your freebie and the coupons themselves don't expire until 12/31/19!
I'd be awesome if we could direct our coupons over to Flint, MI residents somehow since Nestle seems to enjoy hurting local communities! But hey, trash brands are gonna trash.

Thursday, July 11, is otherwise known as 7-11. At least most of us call it 7-11. Maybe you're certifiably insane and call it Kingfork Day or 7-*foghorn noise*. If that's the case, then you and I should definitely hang out, as we are assuredly cut from the same cloth.
Where was I? Oh yeah, 7-11 means it's free 7-Eleven Slurpee Day! Simply walk into a 7-Eleven from 11am-7pm Thursday, July 11 and you'll walk out with a free small Slurpee. Here's their store locator if you need help finding a nearby spot.
You don't even have to wait until 7:11pm! š

I know it's hard to keep track of all these important holidays, but Chick-fil-A's 14th annual Cow Appreciation Day will be held on Tuesday, July 9th, from open until 7pm. No, we don't eat cow that day. That's saved for Frog Appreciation Day the following week. I know, it's a complicated system.
What tomorrow's celebration entitles us to is a free Chick-fil-A breakfast, lunch, or dinner entree if you wear any cow attire. One nice perk is that you don't have to go all out like I did 10 years ago. Previous years required you to dress completely like a cow in order to get a free entree, however in recent years you only need to wear any sort of Cow attire!
Q: Can I still redeem the free entrƩe if I just wear a cow accessory?
A. Customers who arrive wearing any sort of cow apparel will receive one free entrƩe.
They included photos of simple cow apparel to give you an idea. So either climb into your full cow costume or simply wear a white shirt with black dots and say moo – either way, you're getting free food!
If any Hiffers make a cool cow costume and participate in this freebie, we'd love to see pictures! You can share them on our Facebook freebie page, Twitter, or below in the comments š
2019 Update: I have some bad news. The cow costume I made years ago was recently (and supposedly, “accidentally”) thrown away. It's a tragedy on par with the extension of the dinosaurs extinction. Or at the very least, the loss of the dodos. I'm not quite sure how to equate the value I added to the world by dressing up as a cow and asking people to milk my udders.

This is the 10th year in a row that I've promoted this delicious freebie. Time flies when you're … slowly … drinking tea? I don't know, I was never good with proverbs.
The next free Tea Day at McAlister's Deli will be held on Thursday, July 18, 2019. Stop by your nearby location and get a free 32 oz. sweet or unsweet tea.
The offer is valid from 10:30am-9:00pm on July 18 with no coupon or purchase necessary. If only all in-store freebies were this easy.
Also, if you enjoy McAlister's, make sure you sign up in advance for the McAlister's Deli birthday freebie!
[thanks to everybody who reminded me!]

Anybody else get the urge to chow down on some strawberries after requesting free Truvia natural sweetener? All I had in my fridge was strawberry daiquiri mix though, but hey, close enough.
[thanks to Hiffer Kim for the reminder on this freebie!]

First, there were free tacos during the World Series. Next, we got free tacos thanks to the Warriors “stealing” a road victory during the NBA championship. I don't know what genius over at Taco Bell HQ convinced his boss to give away free food during sporting events, but I hear the Underwater Basket Weaving Championship is coming up next month!
In the meantime, we get a free Doritos Loco taco on June 18 from 2-6pm with no purchase necessary! In addition to grabbing this freebie in-store, you'll also be able to order your free taco with the Apple or Android app.
[thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

Hurry and print this coupon good for a free full-sized Peatos Crunchy Puffed Snacks. The coupon is good up to $2.99 in value and can be redeemed wherever Peatos are sold.
I'm traveling with my family right now, so freebies may be a bit sporadic this week!

In celebration of National Smoothie Day, we get a free 16oz Mediterranean Monster smoothie at our local Planet Smoothie on Friday, June 21, 2019 from 2-4pm.
This actually brings me to an important question. I faced it recently while redoing our huge free birthday stuff list. Is a smoothie a dessert or a beverage? Same for a milkshake? I went with a smoothie as a beverage with a milkshake as a dessert. I've already had two people write in complaining though, one saying a smoothie should be an entree! I mean…I guess they have a point? š¤·āāļø
Man, it's tough being a freebie hunter. College did not prepare me for this! I need a 13th century primary source manuscript to pore over for answers. š

When I moved to New York City, I was blown away. It had great comedy and public transportation and yada yada BUT THE FOOD! I instantly fell in love when I discovered how many different cuisines I could sample every meal. I was flabbergasted how easy it was to order a BLT at midnight followed by Thai noodles at 3am if I was still hungry.
Soon after I moved here, the ads in the subway became blanketed with food delivery apps and websites. Combining an app with ordering food was a match made in heaven. You're no longer put on hold while ordering and your order is rarely incorrect! Being able to go from your phone to food at your door in minutes was like an evolution in tech to me.
While most of these sites started in limited cities, most of these apps expanded nationwide in recent years! That's why I put together this list of discounted food delivery for as many Hiffers as possible.
If you have a takeout or delivery place near by, then your town might be on one of these sites! The best way to find out is to enter your zip code or address on their homepage. Many of the websites have a list of cities & areas they serve at the bottom of their main page too.
These sites also famously only give discounts on your first orders to new customers. However, they confirm your identity via your credit card. Soooo, if you have multiple credit cards and make a few different email accounts … well … 😉
GrubHub – $7 off ($10 off now, with some cities getting $12!) your first order of $15+ with no promo code needed as long as you use this link. It's been my go-to food delivery site for years.
Delivery.com – Another $7 $10 off your first order of $15+ by using this link. One of Delivery.com's best perks is being the only food delivery service that also lets you earn rewards! You earn 20 points per $1 spent, which are redeemed for gift cards or free food. Of all the sites listed here, I find they send out the most “random” discount codes via email too. Once every 10 days or so I get a limited 15% promo code, which is great compared to how infrequently other sites offer these.
In fact, every Monday in July has a new Delivery.com promo code emailed out. The first week was $2 off any order for all users.
DoorDash – $7 off your first order Certain cities get $10 to $15 in free credit, though I can't tell if there's a $15 threshold you need to hit or not.
Seamless – You'll save $7 (they've also upped this to $10-$12!) on your first-time order over $15. I'm beginning to see a pattern here.
Postmates -You'll want to download the app then enter code 6x9h. This will give you free delivery credit (up to $10) on your first order.
UberEats – Again, after downloading their app, enter code eats-uberhif to save $5 off your first order plus get $100 in delivery fees waived.
Bring Me That – Use code bda3f3 to save $5 off your first meal.
Caviar – Promo code ORANGEBIRD nets you $5 off your first order of $25+.
EatStreet – They have a website, but they only offer $3 off your first order via the app only. After downloading it on iOS or Android, enter code UICXW1 at checkout.
Eat24 – Eat24 is no more! They were recently acquired and rolled into Grubhub, which…let's be honest, was the best choice here. Yelp was terrible as the owner and operator of Eat24 IMHO.
Amazon Restaurants – Yet another recent dropout to the meal delivery services is Amazon! I was surprised to see them give up so soon, but their Restaurants program never did seem to get past the trial stage. It seems they've pivoted to Amazon Fresh grocery delivery, which makes more sense given their acquisition of Whole Foods.
With these codes sites and promo codes, you can be eating for cheap in no time! But what about when you want to order ingredients for your next meal on the cheap?
Amazon Fresh – I've personally used Amazon Fresh for over a year now for most of my groceries and they never disappoint. They always have a weekly-changing, full-sized item that's on sale for $0.25, so it's kinda like a freebie!
Fresh Direct – New users get $25 off $99 with code SUN25 or $50 off $125 with code SUMMER50.
Instacart – New users get anywhere from $5 to $20 off their first order for free, plus the delivery fee is waived on your first order.
Peapod – You can get same-day, instant grocery delivery service via Peapod if you live in the following areas: Chicagoland, Milwaukee, S.E. Wisconsin, Indianapolis, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Southern New Hampshire, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, S.E. Pennsylvania.
New customers get $20 off your first order, plus free delivery for 60 days.
Drizly – They don't sell food, but this new company delivers something equally important for some people – alcohol! Code DRIZLYDEAL should save $5 off your first order and your alcohol will be delivered to your door within 1 hour! I don't know about you, but there have been a million times I've wanted booze in my hand within an hour!
So there ya have it! If you're a human who eats food and enjoys occasionally letting somebody else cook for you, use some of these sites to score some discounted meals.

I'm a bit late to the game with this Chipotle freebie, but it returns tonight at 9pm during the Warrios-Raptors NBA Finals basketball game.
During the series games, every time an announcer says the word FREE on air, weāll Tweet a unique keyword that unlocks up to 500 free entrĆ©es during the first half of each game and up to 1000 free entrees during the second half of each game. The first 500 people to text the unique offer code to 888222 when āfreeā is mentioned in the first half, will receive a code for a free entrĆ©e. The first 1000 people to text the unique offer code to 888222 when āfreeā is mentioned in the second half, will receive a code for a free entrĆ©e.
So you want to have Chipotle's twitter account pulled up, then check it as soon as you hear the word “free” during the game. š¤·āāļø Don't ask me! You had me at “free Chipotle.”
