Free JCPenney Kids Zone Event

Free JCPenney Kids Zone Event on April 13

Mark your calendars! On Saturday, April 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! No registration is needed – you just need to show up on time and you should be good to go.

Your child will design and make a free owl dream catcher to build & take home. This craft includes a foam owl, feathers, stickers, string, and plastic needle. Kids will also get a free ID badge, lanyard, and collector's pin, and a Master Medallion once they complete 6 crafts.

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.

The following month's craft will be held on Saturday, May 11, where kids will make a special trinket box & card for Mother's Day. This craft will include a foam owl, feathers, foam stickers, string, and plastic needle.


Free Lowe's Kids Workshop Craft

Free Lowe’s DIY Kid’s Kit – Garden Cart Planter on April 20

Registration is now open online for a free DIY kid's workshop to be held on Saturday, April 20 from 10am-1pm. Here's the signup link.

Lowe's has brought back their popular free kid's projects with DIY kits available every 2nd weekend of each month! The suggested child's age ranges for the Lowe's DIY Kits are between 4-11. All supplies and instructions are included, making it a fun children's task to complete.

However, this year they're also offering something new – attend the Kids' Workshops regularly and earn badges towards a free tool bag! The nitty gritty fine print can be found here, but long story short once you've earned twelve badges, you'll be issued a promotional code redeemable online for a free kid's tool bag or product of similar value.

So what's the upcoming workshop going to build?

April Event: Playful Garden Cart Planter

Kick-off spring with your little builder as they create a garden cart planter. Kids can grow new skills and take home a fun garden project just in time to start some seeds!

These look so cool – and they actually work! 8 year old Goob would have loved this toy and 40 year old Goob would totally pick it up late at night after all the kids had fallen asleep.

Lowe's Kids Workshop History

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 were in-store workshops though, where attendees could make awesome projects right in Lowe's with the provided tools, safety gear, and work space. Then 30 minutes later the kids would always get to take home the cool toy craft they just made along with a collectible commemorative pin. They even gave coupons and discounts to workshop participants!

They shut the program down in 2017, but eventually brought them back and are still going strong in 2024. I really hope you and your family are able to keep enjoying these freebies for many years to come!

Free Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cone

Free Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cone on March 19, 2024

Dairy Queen is holding their annual First Day of Spring freebie by giving away a free small vanilla cone on Tuesday, March 19, 2024!

Hiffers can swing by their local non-mall Dairy Queen 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 white traffic cones on our heads.


Free Rita's Italian Ice 2024

Free Ritas Italian Ice on March 19, 2024

The annual free Rita's Regular Ice treat returns on Tuesday, March 19, 2024! Celebrate the first day of spring by stopping at your local Rita's for a 7 oz. free Italian Ice treat between 12pm-9pm. I don't see anything on their website just yet, but they've made a confirmation announcement on their Facebook page.

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.

If you're out and about on the first day of spring, then you might also want to swing by Dairy Queen for their free small cone offer. I love when we get multiple freebies on the same day!

Don't forget Rita's offers a nice free birthday food offer as well!

Free LEGO Mini Model Event

Free LEGO Custom Photo Frame Event on Apr 20 & 21

LEGO is bringing back their free in-store events on Saturday, April 20 and Sunday, April 21! It also looks like they'll have more events throughout the summer.

A limited amount of free LEGO customized photo frames are available to those who register for space ahead of time, so be sure to signup here if you're interested in attending! To find the registration link, scroll down to “Celebrate Your Star Power” and click on the “Sign up” link. Then enter your zip code, select your local store, and reserve your space.

Is your child a star in the making? Whether they express themselves through music, movies, singing, dancing or any other art form, we want to celebrate their passion with a fun building activity. Kids will create and decorate their own LEGO® photo frame to show off their creative accomplishments.

This event is scheduled for an hour and intended for children ages 6-12. All children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Supplies will be provided, but they may be given to others if you don't arrive on time.

Also, I've noticed a few super cheap items lately in LEGO's sale and discount section. If you have a little one with an upcoming birthday who loves LEGOs, it might be worth scoping out.

Free Waffle House Hashbrowns Coupons

Free Waffle House Hashbrowns

Print out this coupon and present it to your server to get a free order of hashbrowns at Waffle House with any purchase! This coupon expires 3/22/24.

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.
