We’ve entered a month with some freebies and a futuristic change to the way you may receive fast food deliveries in the future. It’s also a time of the year jam-packed with savings as we inch closer to President’s Day.

☕️ FREE Post Super Bowl Coffee at Starbucks Today

If you’re feeling the effects of last night’s game or if productivity is the last thing on your mind, Starbucks if offering a “Super Bowl Hangover” freebie today Monday Feb. 10th.

Here’s the deal: Starbucks Rewards members in the U.S. can snag a free tall (12-ounce) hot or iced brewed coffee. Whether you need a hot pick-me-up or something cold as an afternoon refresher, it’s yours - no charge.

To get your freebie, just apply today’s Starbucks Monday coupon in the app before ordering ahead. If you're not placing an order in advance, just stop by in-store or through the drive-thru and let the barista know you’re using the discount. Keep in mind that some Starbucks kiosks in hotels, airports and non-Starbucks managed locations are likely not participating.

Bonus Freebie Tip: Dessert lovers, rejoice! The Frosty Key Tag at Wendy’s is back for just $3, giving you a FREE Jr. Frosty with any purchase throughout 2025. They won’t be available for long, so if you’re a fan, grab one while you can!

📱 Your Call ID Could Soon Reveal A Callers True Identity

Are you tired of random numbers appearing in your caller ID or how about seeing the name of your bank and wondering about the reasoning for the call? If you’re an Android user and you subscribe to AT&T you may soon be in for a big surprise.

When companies call, their name, logo, and even the reason for the call can appear on the screen. This new effort is to restore trust in phone calls, making it easier to tell a real call from a scam.

If the test pilot is successful it could eventually make its way to other carriers and to iPhone users at some point well. According to TransUnion, nearly 75% of people are more likely to answer when this information is displayed.

🤖 How Drones Could Impact Your Next Take-Out Order

Drones could soon change your relationship with Chik-fil-A. The restaurant chain is testing drone delivery offering a futuristic twist on fast food. Customers can order through the Chick-fil-A app and have meals delivered via drone, with no delivery fee for in the first test area of Brandon FL. If the pilot is successful, drones could be making food deliveries in your neck of the woods some time soon. And that’s not all…

Chick-fil-A is using drones in different parts of the country to study drive-thru efficiency. By capturing aerial footage of traffic patterns and order handoffs, the hope is any of those very long wait times could eventually become a thing of the past.
