There is no indication of how long these Kindle Editions will be available FREE. Some hang around for a long time; others have only a fleeting time on the “freebies” lists. If you want one of these Kindle Editions, we suggest downloading it sooner rather than later.
Yes, Virginia, there is such a thing as a free lunch. Philip Leung, an owner at Hong Kong Cafe,2 South Mills Street, sent us an e-mail to tell us that, “Every year on Labor Day we do a free lunch customer appreciation special. This year is our 19th anniversary special “Lunch On the House” It will be served on Monday, September 6th from noon until 2 p.m.”
What’s for lunch? Leung says, “This is a pretty fast in and out type of FULL Chinese lunch service including egg roll. It’s delicious and we open an outdoor area to serve as many as possible during this promotion. It’s a great thing for us, we only hope to get our menu in the hands of as many Madisonians as will show up!”
Here’s a basic summary of the “rules” for this special Labor Day Event:
Doors open at 12 noon.
Free Lunch served until 2 p. m.
Lunches will be carry-out only.
No Purchase necessary.
One entrée per person.
No need to place order in advance.
On your behalf, we asked a couple of follow-up questions and learned that there will be several entrée choices, including a vegetarian option.
Please remember, this free carry-out lunch event is only at the Downtown Hong King Cafe location, 2 South Mills Street. And please remember to say “Thank you” to Leung and his staff when you pick up your lunch on Monday.
Visit the Origins Facebook page if you’d like to request a free 1.5 ml sample of Ginzing, a “refreshing eye cream to brighten and depuff.” You’ll have to fill in a form with your name, address, and email address then wait 4-6 weeks for your sample to arrive in the mail.
Limit one sample per household while supplies last.
Estée Lauder has proclaimed Thursday, July 22nd, 2010 “America’s Night To Repair.” Visit an Estée Lauder counter between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. on that date and you can choose a free 10-day supply of Advanced Night Repair Face Serum or New Eye Complex. No purchase necessary. Limit one to a customer, while supplies last.
There are three Estée Lauder counters in the Madison area: Macy’s at Hilldale, Boston Store at West Towne Mall, and Boston Store at East Towne Mall.
If you really want this free sample, we’d advise you to go early because “while supplies last” often means the free samples will run out before the end of the evening.
Ride your bike to Concerts on the Square on Wednesday, July 21st and you may be rewarded with a free cupcake and cup of coffee.
In an effort to demonstrate the need for increased bicycle parking in Downtown Madison, 20by2020, a community organization working to increase the quality of life in Madison through bicycling, will offer free bike valet parking for 120 people at the July 21st Concert on the Square.
According to organizers, “Located at the top of West Washington, the free, friendly, and convenient Valet Bike Parking will be just like a coat check for bikes — show up, hand over your bike to the 20by2020 bike valet, and go enjoy the event — no need to worry about the safety or whereabouts of your bike, 20by2020 will keep a close eye on it till you come back! Look for the bike parking signs to guide you in the right direction. The valet will open at 5:30pm and close at 9:30pm.”
In addition to free parking, there will be a free cupcake from Cupcakes-A-Go-Go and a free cup of coffee from Ancora to the first 100 people who use the Valet Bike Parking.

Target and Ben & Jerry’s have teamed up to encourage people to volunteer in their local communities — and they’re offering a sweet incentive for those who sign up with a local organization through VolunteerMatch: A coupon for a FREE pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (either “Berry Voluntary” or “Brownie Chew Gooder” flavor) and an opportunity to pass on coupons to five friends.
If you’re willing to volunteer time for a good cause, here’s how to participate in this offer:
(2) Search for ways to volunteer in your community, chose one, chose one, and give your contact information. We searched using a Madison ZIP code and found some great opportunities to volunteer for such organizations as Independent Living, Inc. and the Madison Children’s Museum (which is looking for a “Rooftop Ranger” and a “Log Cabin Leader”).
(3) Check the follow up e-mail you’ll receive for a link to a FREE coupon.
(4) Pass on free coupons to five friends (while supplies last) and ask them to sign up to volunteer.
There’s a bit of fine print: You must sign up by 12-31-2010 to receive the free coupon while supplies last. The coupon is valid at Target stores where Ben & Jerry’s is sold. Limit one coupon per guest.
Update (7/8/2010): So much for “while supplies last.” We just received the following memo from Deborah Nies: “Just wanted to let you know that the Ben & Jerry’s offer is for $1.00 off coupon on a pint of ice cream. (not a free pint anymore). Daughter Hannah signed up to volunteer at MCM and that’s the coupon she received.”
We know there’s no place you’d rather be on a warm, sunny day than hanging out in Madison — but sometimes you have to leave home because your job requires travel, your in-laws demand a visit, you’ve decided to attend your high school reunion in New Jersey, or you’ve acquired a severe case of wanderlust.
That’s why we’ve decided to let you know about a some fast food freebies and deals you’ll find elsewhere, but not in Madison. Seriously, can you imagine anyone dressing up like a cow for a free sandwich? Yeah, you’re right; we can too. That said, here’s the list:
Monday, July 5th through Friday, July 23rd there’s a dining BOGO at participating IKEA stores: Buy one buffalo chicken wrap combo with chips and a fountain drink for $5.78 and get the second combo free.
Wednesday, July 7th if you print and present a special online coupon, you’ll receive a free flame-grilled chicken leg with any purchase at El Pollo Loco
Sunday, July 11th is 7-Eleven Day 2010. Visit any participating 7-Eleven Store in the U.S .and get a free 7.11oz Slurpee drink until 11 p.m.
Thursday, July 29th the Cheesecake Factory will give you a slice for only $1.50 if you pre-register by becoming one of their Facebook fans (“Like” them).
Just how ridiculous are you willing to be for a free pizza?
Thought so… Here are the instructions for snagging a FREE DiGiorno Deep Dish Pizza: Visit the DiGiorno Facebook Deep Dish page and use their application to add your face to a goofy picture. Then post it on Facebook.
We started to test this offer for ourselves, but things seemed to be moving in slow motion (probably an overloaded server coping with thousands of hungry fans). We grew impatient and stopped the process, so we can’t tell you where on Facebook your goofy composite photo will be revealed, whether it will bear your name, or how you can remove it.
We do know that even though we didn’t complete the process, Facebook had added an application to our account (which we’ve already removed).
There is an alternative to the silliness: Click on the “Not on Facebook?” image on the DiGiorno Facebook Deep Dish page and you’ll be able to print a coupon for $1 off a DiGiorno Deep Dish Pizza.
We have no idea how long this offer will be available, so don’t ruminate too long over your decision about how far you’ll go for a freebie.
The FREE pizza offer has expired. There is, however, a $2 coupon available.
East Side, West Side — and Verona, too — Michael’s Frozen Custard is giving Dads a free sundae on Father’s Day: Sunday, June 20th.
Michael’s summer hours on Sundays are from 10:30 a.m. until 11 p.m., so there’s plenty of time for Dads to make it to one of the four Madison-area locations.
The Blue Spoon Prairie du Sac location offers counter service, two level dining room, and a three- tiered outdoor patio overlooking the Wisconsin River. The patio makes it worth the trip from Madison if the weather is nice.

Are you suffering from plumber’s butt, sharing a bit too much information? Be among the first 250 guys to attend the Madison Mallard’s game on Saturday, June 12th and Duluth Trading Company will offer you a solution to this embarrassing problem: a FREE Longtail-T.
Here’s what the Belleville-based company specializing in clothes for tradesmen (and “real women”) has to say about the Longtail-T: “In 2002, in the cause of modesty and good taste, we introduced the Longtail T. A little bit of innovation – three more inches of shirt body length – solved an age old problem: the infamous, much feared Plumber’s Butt. Suddenly, the guys who bend over when they work had new respectability. They were better able to stay in the good graces of clients and stop frightening unsuspecting passersby.”
The Duluth Trading Company will also be giving away 250 FREE ball caps at this game. Plus, there will also be fireworks after the game, courtesy of TDS.
