Where or where have all the freebies gone? Or where or where can they be? Bringing you the best I can find; guess everyone’s on vacation now that it’s August!

Also, be sure to scroll to the bottom of this blog posting for something completely different–and free: a giveaway, courtesy of Bed, Bath and Beyond!

Free Food

• Get a free package of Swedish Fish when you purchase the new Swedish Fish flavor of Rita’s Water Ice. (That’s Italian ice to anyone not in the Philly area.)
• Through August 31, anyone with an August birthday can stop by their local Domino’s to receive one free Lava Crunch Cake on their birthday! (Proof of date required, identification can include drivers license or birth certificate.)
• Arby’s free-food Wednesday continues: Enjoy a Free Roast Chicken Club with any soft drink purchase on August 12.

Complimentary Cosmetics and More

• Through August 29th at Rite Aid stores, you can participate in the Rite Aid “Freebate” program. It allows you, with one click of your mouse, to get rebates on many purchases you make in the store. Once complete it’s as if you’d gotten your cosmetics and more for free!

Entertainment at No Cost

• Radio station 106.7 Lite fm in New York City presents the best of Broadway in Bryant Park, a free concert of Broadway music, on six consecutive Thursdays this summer. On August 13, starting at 12:30 p.m. on the Bryant Park Stage, you’ll enjoy music from Billy Elliott, South Pacific, Altar Boyz and Mamma Mia! Also, John Stamos from Bye Bye Birdie will make a special appearance. Bryant Park is located behind the New York Public Library on 6th Avenue between 40th and 42nd street. Seating is first come-first-served on the lawn.
