Sonic Drive-In: 50% Off Shakes After 8pm

The sweet deal was last offered on September 2, 2019. (The offer was cancelled for the summer of 2020.) We’ve contacted Sonic Drive-In and have been unable to confirm any details for 2021.

Customers can earn rewards with every cup purchase made in-store. “Buy 6, get 7” is the first offer available — customers can get any 7th cup for FREE after six any-size cup purchases.

Here’s how it works: Text REWARDS to 711711 for a link to download the 7-Eleven App (also available in the App Store and Google Play.) Once registered, you will be assigned a personal bar code and digital punch card on the home screen. Then, every time you purchase a participating beverage, a store associate will scan the bar code and it will automatically punch the digital rewards card. After receiving six digital punches, a coupon for a FREE any-size cup will appear in the app. A new digital punch card appears, once the free coupon is redeemed — so you can start all over again. They’re revamping the mobile app to bring customers even more rewards throughout the year.

Denver’s Brewery Calendar

To say that Denver’s brewery scene is exploding is almost an understatement. Colorado has the second highest number of craft breweries in the nation. At last count, more than 350 of them across Colorado, with 150 or so in the Mile High City. That doesn’t include a growing number of distilleries and cideries.

Many of the breweries are in the heart of the city (especially LoDo, Lower Downtown) and RiNo. But they’re showing up in the Highland and Berkeley neighborhoods, Arvada, and of course, Golden. The events of more of these breweries are being added to Mile High on the Cheap. [Read more…] about Denver’s Brewery Calendar
