You know that “heck yes!” shouting, fist-pumping (only once, or else you could be mistaken for the Situation or Snooki), dang-it’s-awesome-to-be-me feeling you get when you score something for free? This month, you can feel that fantastic every week.
Even if you missed Ben & Jerry’s Free Scoop Day on April 12th, there are still plenty of goodies to enjoy. From Haagen-Dazs ice cream and massages to Starbucks coffee, it seems like springtime should be as synonymous with swag as it is with blooming flowers and birds chirping.
Here are some great indulgences over the next month or so. If you hear of any others, feel free to e-mail me (Candace@collegiatecook.com), @reply me on Twitter or comment below.
