Free Inauguration Day Goodies!

I know, I know...it seems like we're having your cake AND eating it too but who's gonna complain when we get to both celebrate an exciting political change for our country on inauguration day AND get awesome freebies? I say chalk it up to being a sign that things are already looking brighter for our economy's ickiness (at least for this one day). Free is free and in this tougher economic times whether you're Young & Broke or Mature & On a Budget, this Tuesday's list of freebies is just pure patriotic music to the ears...

Krispy Kreme is giving away one doughnut of your choice per person (no purchase necessary) on inauguration day!

NYC Metrocards/Dunkin Donuts: No free doughnuts here but they are giving away free rides on the NYC metro. Free metrocards will be given out from the Union Square/14th Street station this Tuesday (free metrocards will also be given out at Grand Central and Time Square on future dates this month - see link above for details)!

Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Dillard's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, etc. will be doling out $175 Million worth of high end make-up and beauty products on Tuesday, January 20th on a first-come, first-serve basis (until supplies last - see link for list of specific products and all participating department store chains).

TGI Friday's bartenders will be mixing up FREE Jack and Coke's at 9pm on inauguration day for the "toast heard 'round the world". Appetizers will be half price for everyone with purchase of an entree and free chips and salsa will be served to all TGI Friday's GiVE ME MORE STRiPES members.
