Where to Get the Best Deals on National Coffee Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at South Carolina chapter.

I’ll admit this now, I’ve had at least one cup of coffee a day, every day since my mom made me try it in 6th grade to help with early mornings. Little did I know I’d depend on this drink to get me through so much.

For all you non-math majors, that’s roughly 2,948 days worth of coffee. I don’t even want to calculate the money spent. I am a coffee addict. So I, along with 2 out of 3 Americans, am very excited for this Thursday, which is National Coffee Day 2016. Here are the best places you can scoop up your caffeine fix for free (or decently reduced). 

Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme will give away one free small coffee and a free glazed doughnut to every customer. Do-nut miss out on it. 

Dunkin’ Donuts

Dunkin’ will be reducing their medium coffee price to 66 cents, in honor of their 66th Anniversary. That’s more than half off the original price.

Even better, Free Coffee Fridays start October 7th and continue every Friday throughout the month. Coffee lovers can stop by and get a cup of coffee— hot or iced, in any size—for free, no coupon necessary.
