Say What? These Companies Will Give You Food and Other Free Stuff

For many of us, the word "free" grabs our attention. Especially nowadays when absolutely nothing seems to be free. There's always some sort of fee attached somewhere. Or you end up paying for it in the long run. That's why when I spot a good deal, I like to pass it along.

Arby's

Craving a delicious roast beef sandwich? Sign up for Arby's email list (you'll get some good coupons) and receive a free classic roast beef sandwich with the purchase of a drink. This does require you to buy a drink to land the sandwich, but hey, you'll probably need something to wash it down anyway.

Sephora

Ladies, treat yourself. Become a "Beauty Insider" and pick up a free beauty kit on your birthday.

IHOP

Who doesn't love pancakes from IHOP? By joining their loyalty program you'll score a stack of these fluffy pillows of delight, along with other cool perks.

Godiva Chocolate

This is one of my favorite deals because I love chocolate, especially Godiva. Join their rewards club to snag the freebies. This isn't a one-time deal. Once you sign up, you'll receive chocolate every month, including on your birthday.

It's refreshing to see these companies taking good care of their customers with some kickbacks. I'll certainly take a break anytime I can catch one. How about you?
