- At subways you can get a free cookie as your desert.
SIDE NOTE: whenever you buy a subway, if you keep the receipt and later enter the code you can get a free cookie at anytime!
- At Krisy Kreme Doughnuts you can get a free doughnut on your birthday... yup just filling up on the calories ey
SIDE NOTE: upon subscribing as their "Friend" you get an emailed voucher for a free doughnut too, however it has to be at a proper store not Tescos.
Drink freebies:
