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!
Thanks to Bargain Briana for information on the Caribou Coffee promotion!
