Drink Up! Free Coffee & Free Beer Today

The stars have aligned for thirsty cheapskates everywhere.

Wednesday, September 29, is National Coffee Day, when lots of coffee shops around the country—like these mentioned in MoneyTalkNews—are pouring free cups of Joe.

Wednesday, September 29, is also the day Budweiser is sponsoring a National Happy Hour, and restaurants and bars are expected to pour 500,000 free frosty Budweisers this evening. The problem is that, as the AP noted, because of state and local laws the Bud people can’t say exactly where and when the freebies will be available. So to find out about freebies, you’ll probably have to call your local tavern or just stop by to have the rare opportunity for free beer.

Thursday, September 30, meanwhile, is when the World’s Largest Ice Cream Social takes place at Cold Stone Creamery locations, with all patrons eligible for a free 3 oz. serving of the autumnal flavor (lots of apple pie ingredients) known as Kate’s Creation.

Thank goodness all three of these giveaways aren’t occurring on the same day. That’d be too much for some gluttonous cheapskates to stomach — though I’m sure more than a few would be willing to give it a try. Bring on Free Diet Coke Day too.

    As Gas Prices Go, So Go Prices for Used Cars

    What do prices at the pump have to do with prices at the used car lot? They actually tend to mimic each other. Higher gas prices tend to cause drivers to want to spend less out of pocket on their automobiles. That means rising demand, as well as rising prices, for used cars—fuel-efficient used cars especially. Used car prices spiked last summer as gas prices soared, and then spiked again earlier this year as the national average neared $4 a gallon. Now that gas prices are retreating, relief is also in sight for consumers in the market for used cars.

    What’s the Point of High-Powered ‘Green’ Sports Cars?

    The best argument for going green is that it’ll help conserve natural resources and money at the same time. The new breed of “green” supercars led by Ferrari and Porsche doesn’t really do either.
