Dairy Queen

In honor of the anniversary of the Blizzard, DQ is rolling back prices back to the year it was invented—1985. That means you can get a frozen treat for just 85 cents! This deal is valid from April 10 through the 23, so grab it before it’s gone for good!

While this deal applies to any Blizzard on the menu, DQ just released a new menu in time for summer. You can try all of the following Blizzards and spend only $4.25!

  • Peanut Butter Puppy Chow
  • Oreo Brookie
  • S’mores
  • Choco Dipped Strawberry
  • Cotton Candy

Chick-fil-A

Lucky for you, this free ice cream hack can be applied anytime throughout the year, not just in April! Thanks to a viral video that’s been making the rounds, many people recently discovered that you can easily snag a free cone from Chick-fil-A.

All you have to do is order a kid’s meal and ask to swap out the toy for an ice cream cone—simple as that! Tons of people have successfully gotten a free ice cream treat, with many saying that they even get a full-sized cup of ice cream with a cone stuck on top. Can’t beat that!
