Free Food Frenzies

Arby's Offers Freeby Wednesdays for the Summer

— May 13, 2009 — Lifestyle
Running low on funds this summer? Well Arby’s is here to help! From now until August 26th, select Arby’s across North America will be featuring Freeby Wednesdays. Every single Wednesday, the fast-food chain will be offering a different free sandwich.

Usually with a drink with purchase, every week Arby’s will be mixing up their free sandwich of the day, generally promoting new menu items.

On this fine spring Wednesday, I think I might just pop over to Arby’s for some free food!
