Tomorrow (Sunday, April 7) from 3-7pm, Baskin-Robbins will be holding a free Fancy Cone sampling event. Stop in for a free 1 oz. of ice cream with a waffle cone chip dipped in chocolate and decorated with rainbow sprinkles.

Aww, no top hat, monocle, or flowing ball gown? I guess we have different definitions of “fancy.”

Since it's just an ounce, I wouldn't go out of my way. But if you're already near one or looking for a free, small treat, then don't miss out.

Tomorrow (Tuesday, March 12) is the annual free IHOP short stack pancakes offer! Veteran Hiffers will recognize this regular, yearly offer, but here's how it works if you're new to the game.

1. Go to a participating IHOP on Tuesday, March 12, from 7am-7pm.
2. 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?

The annual free Rita's Regular Ice treat is back this year on Wednesday, March 20, 2019 from noon – 9pm. Celebrate the first day of spring by stopping at your local Rita's for a free Italian Ice treat.

Wait…holy…SPRING IS ALMOST HERE?! YEEEESSSSS!

*rushes outside*

*immediately runs back inside*

Nope, it's still freezing up here. Hopefully by the time this freebie rolls around, the weather will be so nice that everybody squeezes in their own little celebration of spring's arrival. I plan on rolling around in the grass and whispering sweet nothings at some blooming flowers.

Don't forget Rita's offers a nice birthday freebie as well!

On Wednesday, March 20, Dairy Queen is holding their annual First Day of Spring freebie by giving away a free small vanilla cone!

Hiffers can swing by their local non-mall Dairy Queen between 10am – 10pm and pick up a free cone all day long. Don't forget this is also the same day Rita's is giving away free Italian Ice.

Thankfully this freebie isn't like Chick-fil-A's annual dress like a cow day. We'd all look pretty silly with traffic cones on our heads!

For a limited time, you can get a free Panda Express orange chicken with any purchase by ordering online and using promo code NICE2MEETU.

Since any purchase should trigger this freebie, simply order a small drink or appetizer and get your meal for dirt cheap!

No pandas were hurt in the making of this freebie. However, I did watch an hour worth of funny Panda videos this morning.

If there's one thing I've learned running HIF, it's that Hiffers love free waffles. I think we could all use a few after this past week.

You'll thank me the next time you're out drunk at 5am and realize you have a coupon in your wallet for a free Waffle House waffle. Though to be honest if you're thinking about coupons at the crack of dawn while intoxicated, you deserve some massive props.

The coupon doesn't expire until Nov. 30, 2018 so there's no rush on killing those brain cells.

Also it's worth noting that most (all?) Waffle House's will accept mobile coupons. That means instead of printing the coupon, pulling the coupon up on your mobile browser in the restaurant should work just fine.

Finally, for those of your unfamiliar with the wonder that is Waffle House, please allow one of my personal heroes to enlighten you. Until recently, Anthony Bourdain had never set foot in a Waffle House. Luckily for us, that injustice was remedied on film before he passed away.
