Got the jitters for a free cuppa joe?  Would you like some discounts on organic foods? Isn't this the epitome of an oxymoron?  Regardless, the Well Fed Network alerted me to some upcoming dates from Starbucks and the Organic Earth Day community that were worth noting:

First - Tomorrow, Thursday March 15th, Starbucks is hosting its annual Coffee Break.  Customers at Starbucks stores across the U.S. and Canada will be rewarded with a FREE Tall (12 ounce) coffee between 10 am and noon local time.  According to the Well Fed Network, new Coffee Breaks will also be held in Australia and Asia as well.

To get your free coffee, use the new Starbucks Mobile Store Locator which allows you to locate the nearest Starbucks store from wherever you are via a cell phone, web-enabled phone or GPS system. Cell phone users can send a text message with the area’s zip code to MYSBUX, and a list of nearby Starbucks stores will pop back. Customers using mobile devices will find a store locator by typing www.starbucks.com.

Customers can also use the service to opt-in for a Coffee Break text message reminder on March 15 by texting the word “break” to MYSBUX (697289).

For all you dairy-free consumers, be sure to request some soymilk in place of the creamer in your free coffee.  Most Starbucks throughout North America keep a generous supply of Silk brand on hand.

Second - Earth Day is on its way.  In honor of this April 22nd celebration, producers and stores are going organic.  In fact, over 3,500 grocery stores and 50 food producers across the country will be offering discounts on organic products through the month of April. To receive coupons, recipes and more information about Earth Day events in stores in your area, visit Organic Earth Day or call 866-I-GO-ORGA.

If you are hesitant on signing up for their newsletter, never fear!  I have signed up for it, and will update on this site any deals they send out.
