In case you’re wondering, you’re not mistaken.  Jack in the Box just had a free taco day last week.  I guess it went so well that they’re having another.

Sounds like another cheap summer family outing.
Thanks, Bargain Briana.

Through Sunday, August 16 kids can eat for free at IKEA stores.  Children can choose any three kid-sized items to create a meal, including 5 meatballs, mac and cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, kids’ yogurt, 2 cookies, chocolate milk, and more. (Choices vary by location.)

This is available for kids 12 and younger. No adult purchase is required. As always, I recommend checking with your local store to see if they are participating.

Food Lion has another milk promotion going on right now.  Buy 6 gallons of milk and get the 7th gallon for free.  In the past, Food Lion would print out milk tickets each time you purchased a gallon of milk (with your MVP card), but this time the gallons purchased are showing up on your receipt.  This should make it a lot easier.

On Tuesday, August 4th, Jack in the Box will be giving away two free tacos.  No purchase is necessary, but you must have this printable coupon.

In case you miss this freebie, you can download Charity’s Song of the Month for free. Currently, there are eight free songs available.

Michael’s is hosting a free family back to school Knack event.  At the event, your kids will be able to use stickers and paint to decorate a metal pencil box.

The event is on August 15, 2009 from 10 am until 1 pm and is available while supplies last.  For more information, visit The Knack website.

Stop into McDonald’s every Monday between 7 am and 7 pm and get a free sample of iced or hot mocha. Limit one 8 oz mocha or 7 oz hot mocha per person per visit.
This deal goes on every Monday through August 3rd. I recommend that you call rather than making a special trip. I stopped by my McDonald’s last week and they weren’t participating because they don’t sell mochas.  You can get more details from the McDonald’s site.
