Free kid meals

IKEA is offering free kid meals from June 23rd through July 5th. Kids under 12 can receive up to three kid-sized items for free.

Chipotle is launching a new Kid’s menu. So every Sunday starting June 27th through July 25 (excluding July 4th) when parents purchase a burrito, salad, burrito bowl or order of tacos you get a free kid’s meal. Thanks to Kathryn for the tip!

The kids menu includes:

  • Taco Kit (they build it) ($3.95) – With this unique twist, Chipotle is invites children to get creative with their food.  Kids choose any three ingredients (one naturally raised meat or guacamole, and two other ingredients from the line, like salsa and cheese) and two crispy or two soft taco shells.  This option also comes with a small bag of chips and a choice of organic plain milk, organic chocolate milk, apple juice or a soda.
