6 Food and Drink Freebies in March
From a breakfast platter to a cup of Italian ice, you can score these tasty treats for free.
As March rolls in, that means spring -- and warmer temps – are just a couple of weeks away. Reward yourself for surviving winter’s chill with a free food or drink item this month. From breakfast to lunch, and even dessert, we’ve rounded up several edible deals that don’t require you to spend any money. Take a look:

Free sandwich. Score a free half spicy Asian pork sandwich and chips at Corner Bakery through Thursday, March 5 at participating locations. This freebie requires you to give up your email address at the restaurant chain’s website, but we think a free lunch is worth it. There’s a limited number of freebies per location, so act fast.
