A Cuppa Joe

     Today is National Coffee Day!  It is a day to recognize and celebrate our country's favorite hot beverage.  And in honor of the day several national chains are offering free or discounted cups of coffee.

     Stop at any of Wawa's more than 700 locations in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Florida today and walk away with a free coffee of any size.  Krispy Kreme is going one better by giving away a glazed doughnut with a free 12 ounce cup of coffee at their locations.  And if you're on the road today Pilot Flying J is giving away a free small cup of coffee or small tea or cappuccino with an on - line coupon.  Dunkin' Donuts is cutting the price of a medium sized cup of coffee to 66 cents to celebrate their 66th anniversary.  When you fill up at a Sheetz gas station you can score a free cup of Joe from their self serve.  And if you happen to be at the Walt Disney World Resort you can purchase a hot 16 ounce or iced 24 ounce cup of coffee for only $1.  Whole Foods is going one better with a 25 cent 12 ounce cup of coffee.

     If you wish to donate to a good cause on this day head over to McDonald's.  When you purchase a cup of coffee there all the proceeds will be donated to Covenant House, a group that assists homeless young people.  Similarly, Starbucks is going to donate one rust-resistant coffee tree for every cup of Mexico Chiapas coffee it sells on Thursday.  Caribou Coffee will donate a coffee to caregivers and family members in cancer centers across the country for every cup of Amy's Blend purchased.

     So sit back and smell the coffee!
