We’ve rounded up an array of gratis goods and services to help you usher in the season with savings.

Enjoy these spring deals, and head over to the Money Talks News freebies page for even more options.

Lego set — March 9

Age 6 or older? Go to your local Lego Store on March to build a Lego Steering Wheel model. The models can’t be purchased, but participants can build one at the store and take the steering wheel home with them.

This event is first come, first served and runs from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at participating locations in the U.S. and Canada.

Wings — Tuesdays

Get into the March Madness spirit with free wings from Buffalo Wild Wings. Rewards members who dine in are eligible for a buy-one-get-one-free deal on traditional wings every Tuesday.

For those who prefer takeout or delivery and who place their order through the BWW app or website, a BOGO deal on boneless wings is available on Thursdays.

Pie — Wednesdays

Pie lovers, rejoice! Order an entree and drink when dining at participating Bakers Square restaurants on Free Pie Wednesday (which is every Wednesday), and you’ll get a complimentary slice of pie.

Some varieties of pie may be excluded from the deal.

Baby basics — ongoing

Expecting parents — create a Target Circle account if you don’t already have one, then create your baby registry through Target. You’ll be eligible for a free Baby Registry Welcome Kit. More than $10 must be spent on the created registry, but after that, the registry’s creator can redeem the free welcome kit. It includes a mix of samples and Target Circle Bonus that are worth about $100.

Macy’s has a Baby Welcome Box program for its registry users as well. However, at least $50 in purchases must be made through the registry to be eligible for the box.

Ice cream — March 20

Dairy Queen is hosting Free Cone Day on the first day of spring. Just head to a participating location for a free small vanilla soft-serve cone — no purchase necessary.

Italian ice — March 20

Celebrate the first day of spring by visiting your local Rita’s shop for a cool, free Italian ice on March 20, the date of the spring equinox this year.

The Italian ice and custard chain’s tradition of giving out the treats to signal the change of seasons has been going on for more than 25 years. Rita’s says it is just their way of “kicking off the season — and spreading a little happiness.”

Sundaes — Wednesdays

Every Wednesday, Carvel has a buy-one-get-one-free deal on its classic soft ice cream sundaes.

Breakfast items — while supplies lasts

Kroger is helping customers power through the hour lost from daylight saving time by providing free breakfast products. Starting March 7 at 12 p.m. ET, customers can visit the Kroger Hour Back website to choose a free product from various Kroger brands like Private Selection Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate, Simple Truth Oatmilk Creamer and Kroger Frozen Breakfast. You’ll receive a digital coupon redeemable at Kroger-owned stores or Kroger.com while supplies last.

Tax preparation — throughout tax season

Tax season is underway, but there is one way to take some of the pain out of the process: Skip the fee and get them done for free.

If your annual income is $67,000 or less, you have a disability or you speak limited English, you can get your taxes done for free through the IRS’ Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.

If you are 60 or older, you can get your taxes done for free through the IRS’ Tax Counseling for the Elderly program.

Alternatively, they can gift their free book to a child in an underserved community through the nonprofit First Book.

The deadline to fill out the form is March 31.
