Free Coffee at Caribou Coffee on Earth Day
Caribou Coffee offering a free cup of their coffee of the day on Earth Day, Sunday April 22. Customers who bring in their own reusable coffee mug will get a free cup of coffee. The maximum sized cup for this free offer is 24 ounces.
Unfortunately, Starbucks is NOT offering their free Earth Day coffee this year. According to tweets posted by Starbucks on Twitter, the free Earth Day coffee promotion will only be taking place in Canada this year.
For details on the Caribou Coffee Earth Day offer, check out the Caribou Coffee website.
2011 Milwaukee Area Earth Day Freebies
Looking for Earth Day promotions in Milwaukee? There are a few businesses in the area that are participating in giveaways for Earth Day.
- As we wrote about previously, Starbucks is offering free coffee or tea to customers that bring in their own reusable travel mug. If you don’t have a travel mug (and really, who doesn’t??), you can buy a fashionably overpriced Starbucks mug for 20% off today!
- Caribou Coffee is also offering a free cup of coffee today to those who bring in their own mug. Did you know that Caribou will give you $0.50 off of your coffee any day that you come in with your own mug? We like that better than Starbucks $0.10 discount.
- Lowe’s is giving away a million trees nationwide on Saturday April 23rd.
- Bring five plastic shopping bags to the Disney Store and receive a free reusable Mickey Mouse shopping bag.
Did we miss any? Leave a comment if you know of a Milwaukee area business offering Earth Day promotions!
