Bryan — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:55:30 +0000

If you’re thirsty for giving back to charity and a cool deal, Arby’s latest promotion should be your “cup of tea”…or, more aptly, “cup of soda.” When you purchase a Links of Love bracelet for just $3, you’ll get a FREE value size soft drink (reg. $1) every time you visit a participating location through the end of the year. (Or, if you’re really parched, you can get $1 off a larger size soft drink or combo meal.)

The bracelets are available while supplies last and the FREE drink offer (or $1 off discount) ends December 31, 2012. However, the best part of this promo is that the proceeds help kids get an education through Arby’s local ACE Foundation.

This deal pays for itself in just one visit. If you frequent Wendy’s at least once a week, you could easily save $50 by year’s end.
