Sun Sentinel Palm Beach Edition
Tasty freebies at Chick-fil-A and 7-Eleven
The tastiest week of summer — when you can get a bunch of food freebies — is upon us.
On Tuesday rustle up cow costumes and drive your herd into Chickfil-A for free eats.
The 14th annual Cow Appreciation Day rewards cowclad customers with free meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner until 7 p.m. at participating locations.
I’ll make it super easy for you to get the free food: Go to SunSentinel.com/CowCostume to print out ears, noses, tails, spots, hats, glasses, mustaches and more.
Last year, more than 1.8 million people hoofed it into restaurants dressed as cows and gorged on free chicken sandwiches and other menu items.
Go to CowAppreciationDay.com for more info.
After snacking on free chicken, hit up 7-Eleven and chill out with a free Slurpee on Wednesday. Stop in at participating stores from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and get the free treat to celebrate the chain’s birthday.
No coupon or purchase is necessary.
New on tap: Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries flavored Slurpee, available for a limited time. (I’m a purist, preferring a Coke-flavored frosty beverage.)
The chain keeps the party going Thursday through July 18 by giving 7Rewards members freebies with purchase. Highlights include a free Big Gulp, popcorn, Reese’s candy, chips and more.
Also, reward members can enjoy happy hour and save 50 percent on Slurpees and Big Gulps from 4 to 8 p.m. daily through July 31.
Go to 7-eleven.com/7rewards to download the free app and scan it at the register to get the goods.
