Whether you need a ride to the polls or are craving a snack, this is the perfect time to take advantage of these promotions while making your voice heard.
Sweet treats
Krispy Kreme – Get a free Original Glazed doughnut and an “I Voted” sticker at participating locations while supplies last. While you’re there, check out the Chocolate Iced Doughnut with Kreme filling, which is my favorite.
Johnny Rockets – If you love milkshakes (who doesn’t?), participating Johnny Rockets franchises will offer a free shake (excluding Craig’s Vegan Shakes) with any purchase and proof of voting. Your ‘I Voted’ sticker counts.
Retail therapy
If you’re glued to the news and need a break, why not head to the closest IKEA store for some retail therapy? While you’re there, visit their in-store bistro for a free frozen yogurt to celebrate Election Day. Just present a printed or electronic version of this coupon. No purchase required.
