Don’t cook dinner! 8 places to Eat for cheap (or free) on Halloween!

APPLEBEE’S

Head to Applebee’s with your Halloween costume and your kids eat free. (You may want to give your local restaurant a call to make sure they’re participating.)

BASKIN-ROBBINS

In case you’re looking for something sweet before the real Halloween sugar rush, hit up Baskin-Robbins, where all regular and kids-sized scoops are $1.50 on the 31st. If you don’t want sugar with your sugar tomorrow, mark your calendar for the next 31st – every 31st day of the month, get ice cream for $1.50!

CHIPOTLE

As part of their annual Boorito offer, anyone who comes by in costume from 3pm to close gets a $3 burrito, bowl, salad or order of tacos.

IHOP

Not only is IHOP offering free food on Halloween — they’re making it totally okay for kids to play with their food. From 7am through 10pm, kids ages 12 and under can get a free Scary Face Pancake and design their own pancake using toppings like strawberries, whipped cream, Mini Oreos and candy corn.

SONIC DRIVE-IN

Swing by Sonic to grab 50-cent corn dogs all day on Halloween.

LARKBURGER

One FREE kid’s meal from open to close on Halloween with an adult purchase of $9. Each additional kids meal is only $3. If you visit Larkburger during their “happy hour” between 3-5pm (every day of the year!) small burgers are only $3.

ON THE BORDER

Get 12 mini, individually wrapped Chicken or Beef burritos for $12.99 (chips and salsa are usually thrown in for free!)

KRISPY KREME

I don’t have one around me (boo-hoo) but if you have a Krispy Kreme in your area – stop by for a free donut on Halloween!

FIVE ways to get FREE Starbucks!

If you are like me, you love DRINKING Starbucks more than you love PAYING for Starbucks. It’s hard to justify spending $5+ on a latte when I can make a decent cup of coffee at home for just a few cents.

Well, here are a few ways to get your Starbucks for FREE!

Shopkick App:

I love this app because I earn a free Starbucks gift card at least once a month! It’s an app that gives you “Kicks” when you walk into stores and when you scan or buy products. We’ll both get points toward a free gift card when you try it. Use code SHOP348890 or download http://getsk.co/shop348890

Shopkick

Swagbucks.com:

This is a website that has about 1000 ways to earn points, and all those points can be used towards GIFT CARDS! Check it out here: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/CMEnthusiast

Starbucks App:

You get a free drink on your birthday and also after you get 125 “Stars.” The app also runs promotions to earn free drinks. You also get free refills. If you purchase a coffee while shopping at Target, Safeway, or any other location that has Starbucks – don’t leave without getting a free refill on your hot or iced coffee!

Cartwheel App:

Target regularly offer discounted drinks at Starbucks if you use the Cartwheel app.

Buy Gift cards on sale:

Groupon occasionally sells $10 Starbucks cards for $5. If you have a Chase or Visa card, they have promotions for free Starbucks too!
