Where To Find Freebies On National Coffee Day

Today, my fellow caffeine connoisseurs, is a special occasion. Sept. 29 is National Coffee Day, and you better believe there are places across the country where you can cash in on latte lovers' early Christmas. This year, it's not just about the freebies (although, there are still plenty of places to get free coffee and discounts, no matter where you are in the country). Some coffee chains are even using this day to give back to the community in other sustainable ways. For instance, starting today, Starbucks is planting a tree for every bag of coffee sold in stores (but more on that in a minute). I'm anticipating that today will be an extremely productive day for workers in the United States.

Of course, other coffee retailers and doughnut shops with coffee across the US of A are all also getting in on the java-packed festivities. It makes sense that retailers would want to jump on such a momentous occasion, too. According to a 2013 survey, 83 percent of adults in the United States report drinking at least some coffee — and if you ask me, it's something that should always be celebrated.
