6 Ways To Get Free Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt

You can get free ice cream once a year on Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry's. They've been doing it every year since 1979 and it's one of the most popular freebie days of the year.

Held in the spring every year (usually March or April), you can stop by Ben & Jerry's on Free Cone Day and get a free ice cream cone. You'll get a single scoop cone in your choice of flavor. The lines are long for this one but the employees work hard to keep it moving and you should have your ice cream cone in hand in no time.

Each year in the spring, most of the time in March, Dairy Queen has a Free Cone Day to celebrate the warmer weather at participating locations. Each customer will get a free small vanilla soft-serve cone, no purchase necessary. Since it's one per customer, take the whole family in so everyone can get one.

Haagen-Dazs hosts an annual Free Cone Day at their shops around the country each spring, most of the time in May but the date changes each year. Every customer who visits will get a free kiddie scoop in a cup, sugar cone, or cake cone. You can choose from ice cream, sorbet, or gelato.

Sign up for the Baskin' Robbins Birthday Club and get a coupon for free ice cream on your birthday and a discount on an ice cream cake. When you join the Baskin Robbins Birthday Club you'll get a coupon for a 2.5 oz. scoop of free ice cream a few days before your birthday. You don't have to use the coupon on your birthday, but you need to use it before the expiration date.

Don't forget to sign up everyone in the family, you can add their names and birthdays to your account and they'll get coupons for the free ice cream too. You can also download the Baskin Robbins mobile app and you'll get a free scoop of ice cream.

February 6 is always the date of National Frozen Yogurt Day and this usually means that you can get some free frozen yogurt on this day. TCBY and YogurtLand usually give free small cups of frozen yogurt out and other yogurt stores have some great deals available
