Today is Independence Day, and millions of Americans will celebrate the holiday by sitting around the BBQ. But if you’re not one of them—or simply want to nibble on something while the main course is on the grill—you should know that some of America’s largest fast-food chains are offering freebies on July 4.
Here’s how you can get a free donut, shake, and sandwich today.
Grab a free donut at Krispy Kreme
If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll want to head to your local Krispy Kreme today. That’s because the donut chain is offering a free donut at its U.S. branches in celebration of Independence Day.
And yes, it’s completely free—no purchase necessary.
To get your free Krispy Kreme donut on July 4, simply go into any Krispy Kreme wearing red, white, and blue, and you’ll get a free Original Glazed doughnut on the spot.
Full details of the offer can be found here.
Sip a free shake at Sonic
If you purchase something from Sonic today, you can get a free shake, notes Newsweek.
The deal isn’t specifically for the Fourth of July, but rather part of Sonic’s Live Free Fridays summer promotion.
But hey, it’s a free shake on July 4th, and a great way to beat the heat. Full details of Sonic’s Live Free Fridays can be found here.
Get a free sandwich at Jimmy John’s
If you’re looking for something a little more savory than a donut or shake, you’ll want to swing by Jimmy John’s, where you can get a free sandwich today with select purchases.
As noted by the IndyStar, between July 3 and July 6, Jimmy John’s rewards members can buy an à la carte Chicken Caesar, Kickin’ Ranch Chicken, or Tuscan Italian Wrap, and they’ll get a free a la carte Ultimate Italian, Chicken Bacon Ranch, or Roast Beef Cheddar Toasted Sandwich.
