Because we live in the age of social media, a number of businesses are leveraging their social media presence to promote their freebies. Starbucks, for example, is using their participation in Twitter's Promoted Tweets platform to spread the message that it is giving away free coffee if you bring in your own mug.
We've rounded up several of the deals we know about. If there's any we've missed, let us know in the comments and we'll update our list. Now go out into the world and redeem those freebies. You've earned it.
