From food to fun, the start of summer signals a flood of freebies.

For example, 7-Eleven holds a free Slurpee Day Wednesday, May 23, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can get a free 7.11 ounce Slurpee during their kick-off party for Slurpee Lite.

Mark your calendar for June 1, National Donut Day, when you can get a free donut “that doesn’t require any dough” from Lamar’s.

For links to more freebies, from fries to desserts and fun things to do, check out Suddently Frugal’s list: http://www.suddenlyfrugal.com/2012/05/suddenly-frugals-freebie-friday-may-18-24-2012/

Also, it’s not really a freebie, but Traffic Specialist Joel Hillan wanted me to mention it’s BOGO time at Men’s Warehouse.

Happy Savings — and to those who’ve served our country, we’ll be thinking of you this Memorial Day.
