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.

Milwaukee Area Earth Day Freebies
Many retailers will use any opportunity to promote themselves through free publicity and giveaways, especially in this economy. We have seen all kinds of freebies on non-traditional holidays recently – election day, tax day, and now Earth Day. The following offers are available from national retailers with a presence in the Milwaukee area:
- Whole Foods is giving away free reusable lunch bags through April 26th. Present this coupon to get your free bag.
- The Disney Store will give you a free Disney water bottle if you bring in 3 empty plastic bottles.
- Walgreens is giving away free reusable shopping bags today. To get yours, present this coupon to get your free bag & other 15-20% off other items in the store.
In addition to those listed above, there have been rumors on the internet about free coffee at Starbucks today if you bring in your own coffee mug. We spoke with a barista at our closest Starbucks and she said that there was no official promotion today, but she would give us free coffee if we brought in our own mug. If you want to try this, we suggest calling ahead first!
If you know of any giveaways around town that we missed, leave a comment and let us know.
