It’s a new year, but so far it’s looking pretty similar to 2021. And 2020.
That’s definitely not ideal, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with everything right now. But Wendy’s is back at it again this year, with a month full of free and discounted fast food—there for you if you don’t want to think about what you’re eating.
It’s worth noting that if you’re planning to take advantage of these freebies by having them delivered, they aren’t valid if you order through a third-party app (like DoorDash or Grubhub). Here’s what’s on offer during the month of January.
Get a free drink with breakfast
Starting tomorrow (Monday, January 10th), if you purchase any Wendy’s breakfast sandwich, you’ll receive a free drink. Technically, bottled and pre-packed beverages aren’t eligible for this promotion, but anything that is served in a Wendy’s cup is (i.e. Frosty-ccinos, lemonades, soft drinks, etc). This deal is available in restaurants or via the Wendy’s mobile app until February 20th.
Free fries, once a week
From now until February 27th, every week, you can get a free medium order of fries with any purchase when you use the chain restaurant’s app.
Get other types of free food each Friday
Every Friday in January, Wendy’s has other deals that involve purchasing one type of food through their app, and getting a different type of food for free. This month’s menu of freebies is as follows:
January 7th: Free spicy chicken sandwich when you purchase a medium order of fries January 14th: Free 10-piece crispy or spicy chicken nuggets when you purchase a medium order of friesJanuary 21st: Receive 200 bonus points when you purchase any lunch or dinner premium combo (FYI: 200 points gets you a free small order of fries in Wendy’s Rewards store) January 28th: Free medium Frosty when you purchase a medium order of friesDiscounted salads and hamburgers
Two more deals for the road, starting with getting $2 off any salad when you order it via the Wendy’s app during the month of January. And finally, Wendy’s premium hamburgers are buy-one-get-one for $1 for the entire month as well. These, too, much be ordered via the app, and the deal can be used once a week.
