McDonald’s is offering one free 7-ounce iced mocha or 8-ounce hot mocha every Monday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. until August 3. No coupon needed, but the offer is at "participating locations" only. Here’s hoping your nearest McDonald’s is one of them! 

Every Friday from now through September, Mars is giving the first 250,000 people a coupon for free chocolate. You can choose from M&Ms, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Twix, Dove, and Milky Way. To get your coupon, visit Mars’ Real Chocolate Relief Act site at 9 a.m.-- be on time or you’ll be out of luck! 

Established in 1973, “TKTS” sells unsold tickets on the day of the performance for all Broadway shows (and many off-Broadway shows) for 25-50% off the box office price. You can often get two tickets for the price of one! 

Whether you’re starting a new small business or running an existing one, we found a great place to get free business cards.www.freeprintablebusinesscards.net has a dizzying array of all types of business cards designs, from corporate business to animal business to nature business to kids’ business card designs. All free. 

Apple computer stores are offering a free camp for kids ages 8-12 who are interested in computers and software. Starting July 13, Apple stores around America are offering a series of FOUR different three-hour workshops during which kids will be introduced to MACS and Apple software and learn how to make a movie, create a slide show, write and record a sing or craft a presentation. It’s free, but space is limited and each child is limited to two workshops this summer. For more information and an Apple workshop location near you, go to www.apple.com/retail/camp

The National Park Service will offer fee-free weekends this summer to encourage cash-strapped families to visit national parks -- and to help boost local economies. All 147 National Park Service sites that charge entry fees will waive them on August 15 and 16. The fees at these parks normally cost from $3 to $25, so it’s a nice savings. 

TD Bank is offering a summer reading program to encourage kids to read and develop the habit of saving money.  There is no age limit for kids for this reading promotion. Each time a child reads a book on their own or with a parent, they simply have to write it down on a form that can be printed out at www.tdbank.com/summerreading. A child can earn $10 for reading 10 books this summer. The $10 credit will be deposited in a new, or existing, Young Savers Account when they take the completed form (with the list of 10 books read) to a TD Bank branch. 

Pfizer, the world's biggest research-based drug maker is offering 70 different drugs -- including big sellers such as Lipitor and Viagra -- for free for up to one year for those Americans who have lost their jobs and health insurance. The program applies to anyone regardless of prior family income who has lost their job since January 1 and has been prescribed one of the company’s drugs for at least three months. You can enroll until 12/31/09 by calling 866.706.2400 to sign up. You can also apply online atwww.PfizerHelpfulAnswers.com
