June marks the start of summer — and some sizzling hot offers! This month, you can enjoy a host of fabulous freebies, ranging from complimentary doughnuts to a gratis computer camp for kids.
You don’t have to empty your wallet to enjoy yourself this June. Following are great ways to kick off your summer with savings.
Free doughnut at various locations — June 1
June 1 is National Doughnut Day. And there’s no better way to celebrate than by indulging in a free doughnut, compliments of Krispy Kreme, Dunkin’ Donuts, LaMar’s Donuts and/or Duck Donuts.
On this special day, no purchase is necessary to receive your favorite Krispy Kreme doughnut or a bare, cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar donut at Duck Donuts. To enjoy a complimentary Classic Donut from Dunkin’ Donuts, you must purchase a small beverage.
Enjoy any nonspecialty doughnut — any doughnut with a hole in it — at LaMar’s for free. No purchase is necessary, but you must print or display the “Golden Ticket” coupon to snag this freebie.
Free fishing — ongoing
Want to reel in a great deal this month? Take advantage of Free Fishing Days.
Offered in most states in honor of National Fishing and Boating Week (June 2-10), Free Fishing Days allow anglers “to fish on public bodies of water without a fishing license.” Not every state offers this deal during June, so be sure to check out this state-by-state calendar.
We hope you catch a big one!

Just show your ID — online orders are excluded from the deal.

Possible free taco at Taco Bell — June 13 or June 20
It’s NBA Finals time, and that means you have a shot at a free taco at Taco Bell. The first time a visiting team wins a game on the road — in essence, “steals” a game — you get to steal a free taco.

If the visiting team first wins games 4, 5, 6 or 7, you get a free taco from 2-6 pm. on June 20.

Just head to the store and ask for a Summer Reading Journal, or download it online at BN.com/summer reading.
Children in first through sixth grade who read eight books of their choice and return the journal by Sept. 3 can choose a free book from the titles featured on the back of the journal — including classics such as “Pete the Cat,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Artemis Fowl.”
Free computer camps for kids — ongoing
Is your child or grandchild drawn to computers? You and your tech-savvy kiddo will be excited to learn that both Microsoft and Apple offer complimentary summer camps for children.
