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.

There's no shame in drooling on your keyboard. Haagen-Dazs is offering free ice cream, too.

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.
