Free IHOP Pancakes

Free IHOP Short Stack Pancakes in April

· Disclosure

The annual free National Pancake Day at IHOP is normally held in early March. However, in 2021, they're giving away a free stack of buttermilk pancakes during the entire month of April!

Veteran Hiffers will recognize this recurring yearly offer, but here's how it works if you're new to the game.

  1. Join IHOP's free MyHOP rewards system before March 31.
  2. Go to a participating IHOP during April.
  3. Eat one free short stack of pancakes.

That about sums it up. You can search by zip code on their site to make sure your local IHOP is participating before heading out.

In lieu of payment, they'll ask you to make a donation to one of three children's charities: Children's Miracle Network, Shriners Hospitals for Children, or Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It's not required, but it's a nice thing to do. Besides, we're all nice people here, aren't we?

This freebie also triggers the IHOP free birthday pancakes offer AND you'll get a free pancakes coupon emailed to you just for joining today! I feel like Oprah screaming “you get pancakes, they get pancakes, everybody gets pancakes!”


Free Kids DIY Soccer Goal Kit

Free Lowe’s DIY Kid’s Heart Vase

· Disclosure

Lowe's has figured out how to bring back the free kid's projects for the remainder of the pandemic. You can now register for a free DIY kid's kits to be picked up during the weekend of March 13 and 14.

Spring is right around the corner! Get your child prepared for the season with this fun Soccer Goal kit! Space is limited, so register today!

Reserved kits can be picked up in-store at our customer service desk on Saturday, March 13th or Sunday, March 14th. If your kit is not picked up by 8 p.m. on Sunday, March 14th, it may be given to a non-registered customer.

To register, click the blue “Find an Event Near You” button under “DIY Kids' Workshops” and locate your nearby Lowe's.

This is a pretty cool way to keep these monthly freebies going while also being safe from covid!

For over a decade, the free Lowe's Build & Grow workshop clinics were a staple monthly freebie. Just like the free Home Depot Kids Workshop, you could take your children to Lowe's on certain weekends and come away with a cool, custom built freebie. They shut the program down in 2017, so it's really nice to see them bring it back!


Free JCPenney Kids Zone Event

Free JCPenney Kids Zone Event on Mar 13

· Disclosure

Mark your calendars! On Saturday, March 13, stop by your local JCPenney between 11am-noon for the next free Kids Zone event. These free events are held by JCPenney on the second Saturday of each month. Just like my laundry cycle!

Your child will design and make a free Easter basket to take home, including markers, stickers, and magnets. They'll also get a free ID badge, lanyard, and collector's pin.

All necessary materials will be provided and you don't need to signup ahead of time. As a thank you for coming, parents also receive a 10% off coupon valid for that day only. The coupon can be used either in store or online.


Free Home Depot Kids Workshop

Free Home Depot Kids Workshop

· Disclosure

The next free Kids Workshop at Home Depot has been announced! You normally register ahead of time for these events, but now it's “first come, first serve.” Each local Home Depot is holding their event on different days and times.

March Freebie: Design and build your dream backyard where you and all of your friends can play!

You can find more info on this month's free craft here. The Home Depot Kids Workshop lets all kids keep their craft and receive a free certificate of achievement, free Workshop Apron, and free commemorative pin while supplies last.

These workshops are aimed at kids aged 5-12, though the age range is simply a guide instead of a strict rule. I can also confirm grown adults aged over 30 sometimes have trouble helping their little brother because I'm terrible with tools.

There are only a limited number of spaces available! Find your store, then scroll down and register. When I used to take my little brother, they didn't enforce a strict arrival time. We would often show up around 10am and have plenty of time to get the project finished before noon!

Home Depot Promotional Sales

While you're at the workshop, you might be interested in the latest online and in-store promotions at The Home Depot! Many of these deals are not tied to any event, with up to 75% discounts!

Home Depot also has a cool “Buy of the Day” section, where they offer one-day only sales at huge discounts. It's worth checking out, you never know what they have!

Free Comic Book Day 2021

Free Comic Book Day 2021

· Disclosure

Mark your calendars! The 20th annual Free Comic Book Day is slated for Saturday, August 14, 2021. We can get a free comic book that day at participating locations and this year they'll have even more freebies!

Free Comic Book Day 2021 will feature up to fifty free titles available at participating local comic shops. The titles will be comprised of up to twelve gold and thirty-five silver sponsor titles. Titles will be announced to the public in March and will appear in the April 2021 edition of the PREVIEWS catalog.

So mark your calendar and pick up a free issue for the … kids at home? Suuuuuure, let's pretend it's not for you and say it's for the little ones.

It's been years since I've read comic books. I even tried drawing my own once. It didn't have many super heroes, but starred a kid who refused to eat his vegetables, couldn't talk to girls, and looked ridiculous in his baggy jeans. I guess it wasn't so much a comic book as a journal. No wonder Marvel never took me seriously.

To make matters worse, I harshly learned on a recent date that comic books aren't an appropriate answer to “what have I read lately?” Suffice to say, there wasn't a second date.


Free Steak ‘n Shake French Fries

Free Steak ‘n Shake French Fries

· Disclosure

The free Steak ‘n Shake french fries every day offer is still working. All you have to do is go through the drive-thru, ask for free fries, and enjoy your free snack!

Steak ‘n Shake is also on the bubble of going under, so maybe we should snag these freebies while we still can 🙂

Finally, don't forget that Steak n Shake gives a free cheeseburger and fries on your birthday! They'll also give you a free milkshake just for joining their rewards club.

Free Waffle House Hashbrowns Coupons

Free Waffle House Hashbrowns

· Disclosure

Print out this coupon and present it to your server to get a free order of hashbrowns at Waffle House! This coupon expires 1/31/21.

If there's one thing I've learned recently, it's that Hiffers love Waffle House coupons. Don't ask why, I just know coupons for free Waffle House hashbrowns, waffles, coffee and such get shared and retweeted almost more than anything else. There must be way more college stoners and third shift working Hiffers than I previously thought.

Free Panera Bread Coffee Unlimited

Free Hot or Iced Coffee at Panera Bread!

· Disclosure

Free Panera Bread Coffee Unlimited

You may remember Panera Bread gave away free coffee this summer as part of their MyPanera+ Coffee rollout. It's their new paid subscription system where you pay a low monthly fee in exchange for unlimited premium coffee.

However, if you make a free account by November 30 and enter promo code FREETIL2021, then you'll get free unlimited coffee during December!

Once signed up, you'll be able to go into any Panera Bread and get any sized coffee for free once every 2 hours along with free refills.

Get any size, any flavor once up to every 2 hours, with unlimited refills while you’re in the cafe. Offer limited to hot coffee, hot tea and iced coffee plus unlimited refills. Excludes cold brew iced coffee and espresso and cappuccino beverages.

Since this is meant as a subscription service, you'll need a credit card to sign up. But you won't be charged as long as you cancel before January 1. If you don't cancel before 1/1/2021, you will be charged $8.99, so I'd suggest setting a reminder on your phone! To cancel your subscription online, visit the Subscription Section or use the Panera Bread app.
