Go here to find a Sonic near you.

*FREE, while supplies last. For a limited time only at participating SONIC® Drive-Ins.
In an effort to draw attention to the plight of the honey bee, Haagen-Dazs is having a Bee-built Flavor Day on Tuesday May 12th.
From 4pm – 8pm (at participating locations) you can get a free single scoop of any of the Haagen-Dazs Bee-built flavors.
The only locations in the area are International Plaza and Countryside Mall, but I do not know if they are “participating locations.”

Creative Loafing interns Hannah Walk and Diana Ruiz visited the line outside IKEA Tampa 48 hours before its May 6 opening. Here’s their report — with video after the jump.
How long would you wait in line for a free chair? How about a chair from IKEA? If you’re the first people in line for IKEA’s grand opening, the 65-plus hours spent sleeping on cement and passing the time playing Apples to Apples are well worth it. IKEA officially opens Wednesday, May 6, but for these dedicated fans, the party started early.
Hagen Reams, 19, Shelby Gallo, 19, Justin Gallo, 21, and Ben Dziubek, 20, began their three-day escapade Sunday afternoon, but they’re not complaining. They’ve been passing the time reading Tucker Max’s I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, feasting on vending machine goodies, and attempting to sleep when news cameras aren’t in their faces.

Great way to start hump day… free coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts. According to television ads, the remaining Wednesdays in February, Dunkin’ Donuts will be handing out a free medium coffee with no additional purchase required.
Mark your calendars… 2/11, 2/18 & 2/25
I haven’t personally confirmed this in Tampa, but many Chick Fil A’s across the nation are offing a free breakfast promotion of sorts during February, including down in south Florida.
Examples of the promotions in other markets: return of the free Wednesday offer (chicken biscuit or one of the new options) and a free breakfast item weekday mornings (this is the south Florida deal).
Anyone want to comment back with a confirmation?
All day long (Wednesday 1/28), Panera Bread is giving away FREE coffee. Plus they are having samples of the new breakfast menu items for you to try (and try again and again). Hunker down and score breakfast on the cheap.
And hey, if you are feeling guilty about sample after sample after sample, they are accepting $1 dollar donations to support thier “Operation Dough-Nation Community Breadbox” program with the funds going to local programs that address community needs.

Now this is what the holiday season is all about.
With everyone facing strained budgets, plunking down $60 or $70 bucks on a Christmas tree can seem unreasonable. So a local businessman, Rodney Taucher, is playing Santa and giving away trees tomorrow afternoon. Get the info after the jump:
If you’ve wanted to send American soldiers messages over the last few months, but haven’t known who to send your missives to, Xerox has set up a website that allows you to send postcards to randomly-selected military men and women free of charge.
If your company is taking some budget hits to the chin this year, and the money is not there for a new desktop calendar, get a free one with a Florida plant-theme here.
I usually try to avoid the random free shit available on the Internet — much of it is rife with registration forms and hidden fees — but I found a bunch of offers that require little effort from you. And they make good stocking stuffers:
There’s a plethora of free 2009 calendars online from a children’s-themed Walden calendar for children to a Americans Helping Americans calendar perfect for grandparents.
For the raver in your family: Free glowsticks!
For the child geek: Gmail stickers!
For the vain child: a free photostamp for your Santa letter.
For the saltwater fisherman (or woman) in the family: One free issue of Saltwater Fishing Magazine.
Get a free movie from Redbox (those movie rental kiosks at Wal-Mart) by entering in these codes.
And finally, if your planning on taking the family out to an IMAX flick this month, print out this coupon for free popcorn.
National pizza chain Papa John’s is trying to buy our friendship — with free pizza. Continuing its online trend — they were the first national chain to offer online ordering — Papa Jon’s is offering a free medium cheese pizza to any Facebook user that adds the company as a fan.
From their release:
Beginning Monday, Nov. 17 – just ahead of Thanksgiving Eve, consistently one of the three busiest nights in the pizza industry – any Facebook user who becomes a “fan” of the official Papa John’s page will receive an online redemption code for a free medium pizza with any online pizza order.
“For our customers who already love Papa John’s, a free pizza is simply our way of saying thank you for their loyalty,” said Jim Ensign, Papa John’s vice president, marketing communications. “And for those people who aren’t as familiar with Papa John’s and our belief that better ingredients make a better pizza, we invite them to see – and taste – the difference with this special offer.”
I’m not one to pay to see a circus show. Too many ethical issues involved. But a free ticket? Perhaps — if I can sneak in my own popcorn.
The St. Pete Times forum is offering free tickets to an upcoming Ringling Brothers circus show if you bring them 10 non-perishable food items between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Friday. The tickets are for one of the eight January performances. The food benefits Metropolitan Ministries, a nonprofit that helps the poor and homeless. It’s kind of like helping disadvantaged people while watching disadvantaged animals. Depressing, but fun for the kids.
For more info, call 813-301-6500.

The Golden Corral buffet restaurant chain is offering a free meal to all current and former military men and women at their establishments nationwide tomorrow. “Military Appreciation Monday” runs from 5 to 9 p.m.
From their site:
The free “thank you” dinner is available to any person who has ever served in the United States Military. If you are a veteran, retired, currently serving, in the National Guard or Reserves, you are invited to participate in Golden Corral’s Military Appreciation Monday dinner.
Considering the quality of Golden Corral food, I’m not yet sure if this constitutes supporting the troops or siding with the terrorists, but, what the hell, it’s free.
What’s better than FREEdom and democracy? Free food for just doing your civic duty, that’s what.
Tomorrow, several corporate stores are offering free food and drink if you show them your “I Voted” sticker. In fact, so many companies are offering free shit tomorrow that you could theoretically spend the whole day eating without paying a dime. (And for your early voters, many of the stores are going on the honor system and don’t require a sticker. Click the links for details.)
So, in that spirit, I’ve compiled the offers I know about for an Election Day Free Food Extravaganza itinerary. Ah, voting never tasted so good!
What’s better than a free cab ride when you’re sloshed at one of those crazy holiday parties?
A free tow!
If you’re a little hesitant about taking a cab ride home because you don’t want to leave your car somewhere sketchy, AAA and Budweiser have partnered up for a free tow service that will take you and your car safely home. “Tow to Go” is free, open to AAA non-members and it’s 100 percent confidential.
So far, Tow to Go has safely removed more than 8,300 drunk drivers from the roads over its 10-year history.
Halloween is one of those heavily “celebrated” holidays, so they’re offering the service tomorrow night through Nov. 2. Take advantage of it by calling 1-800-AAA-HELP. Put it in your phone now and drink to your heart’s content!
