Free Slurpees, 56-Cent IHOP Pancakes, And More This Week

It's the week after 4th of July, also known this year as "more free and discounted food than you can handle!" week, with seriously delicious giveaways from IHOP, Krispy Kreme, and more. Let's start with IHOP. The pancake chain is celebrating its 56th anniversary on July 8, and offering 56-cent short stack pancakes all day.

Krispy Kreme is also celebrating an anniversary. In honor of 77 years in the business, if you order a dozen glazed doughnuts on Friday July 11, you can get a second dozen for just 77 cents. Also on July 11 is 7-Eleven's annual Free Slurpee Day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Customers who download the 7-11 app will also get the chance to participate in other offers (like a free Big Gulp) all week long.

Possibly the most bizarre deal of the week is Chick-Fil-A's Cow Appreciation Day. If you come into any Chick-Fil-A location on July 11 dressed like a cow, you will receive a free breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Please remember to drink and cow-dress responsibly.
