Freeloader alert: Free frappés, free hot drinks, free doughnuts

Free frappés at participating Western Washington McDonald's through Dec. 7. Complimentary warm drinks at the Bravern every Wednesday in December. And Mighty-O has free doughnuts for kids dressed as pirates on Saturday, Nov. 28. Seattle Times Freeloader: When cheap isn't cheap enough.

By Seattle Times staff

Welcome to Seattle Times Freeloader: A new feature that helps you load up on free stuff.

Today, McDonald's has a coupon for a free small mocha or caramel frappé on its Western Washington Web site: iwantfrieswiththat.com. The offer expires Dec. 7 and may not be available at all area McDonald's, since they're operated independently. So call before you go and check to make sure your local outlet doesn't require a purchase to activate the coupon.

If you haven't yet been to the Bravern, the new upscale shopping center in Bellevue, plan your trip for a Wednesday in December. Free nonalcoholic beverages will be handed out to all comers at the center's three fireplaces from 4-8 p.m. every Wednesday beginning Dec. 2 (11111 N.E. Eighth St., Bellevue; 425-456-8780 or www.thebravern.com).

Here are your choices, according to the Bravern's news release: "hot chocolate from Artisanal, spiced apple cider from Trophy Cupcakes, hot chai or a selection of teas from Wild Ginger and spiced pomegranate and cranberry cider from John Howie Steak."

Aargh! Saturday, Nov. 28, is Pirate Day for Kids at Mighty-O Donuts. Children dressed as pirates get a free mini doughnut of their choice (2110 N. 55th St., Seattle; 206-856-9058 or www.blog.mightyo.com).

Freeloaders are always checking their email from the laptops at busy intersections??? Free Donuts? That is almost too tempting to make fun of... Posted on November 23, 2009 at 11:38 AM by bythewaywhocares. Jump to comment
