Staying Fit
Coffee fuels the masses daily, but there’s a special day when coffee-holics don’t have to lighten their wallets to indulge. National Coffee Day is Friday, Sept. 29, and there are plenty of ways to take advantage of freebies and discounts for your caffeine fix on the unofficial holiday. Whether you prefer your coffee hot or iced or you brew it at home, here’s where to find freebies and discounts on National Coffee Day. (International Coffee Day is Sunday, Oct. 1, so you may see deals that last all weekend.)
