Get your caffeine on and celebrate with a free cup of coffee.
If the first words out of your mouth every morning are, “I’ll have a large coffee”—or if you can’t even speak until after you’ve had your java fix—there's a national holiday created especially for you. America will put staunch tea drinkers to shame on National Coffee Day on Sept. 29, when coffee fiends can rejoice and celebrate their beloved coffee bean with free brew from national chains. Coffee was first brought to America in the mid-1600s in a shipment en route to “New Amsterdam,” now known as New York, according to the National Coffee Association. We have that shipment and the Boston Tea Party to thank for turning the nation into coffee drinkers. Many local businesses are participating in the national celebration. Some national …

The frozen treats may be just the right thing to cool off on a hot day.

To commemorate its 84th birthday, 7-Eleven is giving away free 7.11-ounce Slurpees today only. And what a great day for it! With temperatures soaring close to 100 degrees, Ashburn residents sure could use something to cool them off. No coupons, no catches, no questions asked. As a matter of fact, in some locations you may find you don't even have to go to the cashier – you almost feel like you are doing something wrong ... but you're not! Since its 75th birthday in 2002, 7-Eleven has been giving away Slurpees every July 11th (7/11). You might think giving away Slurpees like they have done might hurt the convenience store's bottom line, but, according to the company, there are enough Slurpees sold each year to fill 12 Olympic-sized pools. …
