Coffee shops are offering up deals on September 29 in honor of National Coffee Day.

If you're like us and are enslaved by that morning cup of joe, you look forward to saving a couple of bucks on that daily fix once National Coffee Day arrives.

On September 29, we expect a selection of our favorite stores will take advantage of the day to promote fair trade brews and offer discounted or free cups of the good stuff.

Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' Donuts Give Free Java... But Not Starbucks

For two years running, Krispy Kreme has offered a completely free small cup of coffee on the holiday. Last year, it even threw a free Original Glazed donut into the mix. Dunkin' Donuts didn't have anything sweet to offer, but over the last few years it has given away a medium cup of coffee for those who like a larger caffeine fix.

We've also seen freebie offers from McDonald's, Wawa, and Coffee Culture Cafe in the past, so we'll be looking to these stores to replicate their National Coffee Day generosity again this year.

Conspicuously absent from the list? Starbucks. The coffee mega-chain used National Coffee Day last year to kick off a tree-planting initiative.

No matter what specific deals we see on September 29, National Coffee Day is sure to bring with it a host of freebies and discounts on dine-in and takeout cups. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back closer to the holiday, as we'll be adding specific details and locations once the freebies start rolling in.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
