Free Food This Week and a Chance to Give to Make-A-Wish Foundation

I love the free ice cream days at ColdStone Creamery. Another one is coming up real soon, but before you rush out to snag your treat, check out these other promotions for this week only. (And read about a chance to help make dreams come true!)

Kahala (the company behind ColdStone Creamery) has always had success with its free ice cream promotions. Past years’ efforts have dished out millions of creations and have managed to raise over $2.8 million for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This year, they have decided to expand into all of their restaurant brands, and with a free treat every weeknight, it could be really successful!

Here’s the windup:

“Monday, Sept. 22 – Samurai Sam's: a free grilled eggroll

Tuesday, Sept. 23 – Blimpie: a free 3-inch cold turkey sub

Wednesday, Sept. 24 – TacoTime: a free small order of Mexi-Fries®

Thursday, Sept. 25 – Cold Stone Creamery: a choice of two 3-ounce ice cream Creations:

Emily's Creation – Nutter Butter® ice cream mixed with yellow cake, Kit Kat® and white chocolate chips or Jack's Creation – Marshmallow ice cream mixed with OREO® cookies, chocolate chips and fudge

Friday, Sept. 26 – Great Steak and Potato Company: a free small Great Fry

Participating US stores only. Please call to verify participation. Not valid in TacoTime stores in IN, MI, IA, CO and the Seattle area. Not valid in Blimpie locations within Hess convenience stores.”

And the pitch:

While donations are optional, the folks at Make-A-Wish are hoping you will purchase a paper Wish Star for a buck. Proceeds go to help see 150 wishes come true for very ill children.

More info on Make-A-Wish is available at their official website. (Thanks to Frugal, Freebies and Deals for the heads up via Twitter.)
