If you needed an excuse to hit up Wendy’s this week, here it is: free Frostys and fries.
In honor of National Girl Scout Day on March 12 and St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, Wendy’s is serving up two major freebies—and all you need is the Wendy’s app to cash in.
How to score a free Thin Mints Frosty
On March 12, Wendy’s is giving away free small Thin Mints Frostys with any purchase. Whether you buy a small fry or a full combo meal, you’ll automatically qualify for the freebie through the Wendy’s app.
This limited-edition Frosty blends Wendy’s classic Chocolate or Vanilla Frosty with a mint-chocolate cookie butter inspired by Girl Scout Thin Mints. If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s your chance to grab one for free.
More free food for St. Patrick’s Day—fries and donuts included
The deals don’t stop with Frostys. On March 17, Wendy’s is also handing out a free order of French fries with a $5 minimum purchase through the app. Whether you’re celebrating St. Paddy’s Day with a green beer or just need an excuse for a snack run, crispy, golden fries on the house sound like a solid deal.
And if that’s not enough, Krispy Kreme is joining the free food fun by giving away free Original Glazed donuts to anyone wearing green on the same day.
Between Wendy’s fries and Krispy Kreme’s donuts, St. Patrick’s Day is shaping up to be a great day for snack lovers who like their food free.
More Frosty flavors and customizations are coming
Beyond the Thin Mints Frosty, Wendy’s is gearing up for even more Frosty innovation. The chain recently announced Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions, a new way for customers to customize their Frostys with different sauces and mix-ins.
While Wendy’s hasn’t revealed the full lineup of flavors yet, this move puts it in direct competition with McDonald’s McFlurry and Dairy Queen’s Blizzard.
How to claim your free treats
To redeem either the free Frosty on March 12 or the free fries on March 17, you’ll need to:
- Download the Wendy’s app and create a free rewards account.
- Go to the “Offers” section in the app on the respective day.
- Select “Use in Mobile Order” to add the freebie to your online order, or select “Use in Restaurant” to scan the barcode at the counter or drive-thru.
The verdict: A win for Wendy’s fans
Wendy’s is no stranger to giving away free food, and this latest round of deals makes it a great week to be a fan of Frostys and fries.
Whether you’re craving Thin Mints in frozen form, looking for free fries, or grabbing a free Krispy Kreme donut on the side, these one-day-only promotions are worth cashing in on.
