**WARNING** Reading this may destroy your New Years Resolution!

So I just heard word from Luna Savings about an amazing Wendy’s promotion that is going on again at select locations. Now before reading any further, I want you to be aware that this promo is not available nationwide, so I suggest calling your local Wendy’s ahead of time and asking.

Alright, so what’s the deal?
Well, supposedly when you donate $1 to the Dave Thomas Foundation at Wendy’s, you’ll get a key tag valid for FREE Jr. Frosties for the rest of the year. Yes, the rest of 2011! 😀

Let us know if you’re able to score this awesome deal!

    I had one in 2010 (chicago area). Didn’t know they were doing it again. Will definitely have to get another one.

  2. whackywheelers

    I buy several and give them to different people at my son’s school. I’ve even given them to my favorite cashiers who help me in my couponing. Love the Frosty . . . and the organization that’s getting the blessings!

  3. Abby

    I saw this but thought it said you got a free frosty with any purchase.

  4. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Does anyone know if these are available in Fort Wayne, IN? I’ve called 3 stores so far and have gotten told No or I don’t know what you’re talking about so far. Please let me know.

    We are also traveling to Indy next week, so even if they have them down there, please let me know!

    • steph317

      i was wondering bout fw too!

    • Rockin' Momma

      I got one last year in Southern Indiana. I don’t know about up North. I’m hoping my local one is doing it again this year.

  5. colleen

    I just went and purchased 5. I live in Swartz Creek MI.

    • Tim

      which restaurant did you go to? I’m in Flushing.

  6. Kelly

    I did this last year. I love those things. It’s a pretty sweet deal!

  7. colleen

    It is a free frosty w/ any purchase!!

  8. Aubrie W.

    Champaign, Ill., said they participated last year but have not heard of anything yet this year. The woman I spoke to said she was sure that they would when they heard about it, but she referenced a cancer research foundation instead of Dave Thomas.

    • Katie

      Welcome fellow Champaigner!

  9. RK

    Is there someone who would be willing to buy some of these for me and send them to me. Our stores will accept them but are not selling them. Im in Utah. I could paypal you the money today.

    • colleen

      I live in Michigan and purchased 5 today. No limit! The say on the back one free jr frosty per transaction, per visit, per key tag w/ any purchase. Valid @ participating wendy’s in Michigan. Sorry I was going to offer and pick some up for you but just read the last line.

      Mine says that it can be used in the Nashville area locations. Be careful if you do this!

    • erinkilts

      I could pick some up for you. Do you mind if I mail them in a regular envelope?

      • RK

        If they are area specific then I guess it wouldnt work. Oh well…worth a shot…

  10. Christina Reeves

    So bummed…just got back from our Wendy’s (Alabama) and they said they stopped selling them in December…. 🙁

    • Becca

      What area in Alabama?

  11. Alea

    We got one last year and got one again for this year!! It’s a great treat for my son 🙂

  12. Alyssa M

    I just called our Wendy’s and they said that they sell them at Halloween time. And I live in Eastern Iowa. But only one location out of all them participates in it.

  13. Wendi Eva

    No participation here in Spokane, WA.

  14. Erin Fisher

    Not in my area either, through investigation I have been told they only sell at Wendy’s that are corporate locations, not franchise, but franchise will honor it!

  15. Rachel

    works @ FLUSHING, NY……just confirmed 🙂

    • Erin Fisher

      Willing to pick up a few? 🙂

  16. Marisha G

    anything in NC? I would love to buy one of these!

  17. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I had 2 in 2010 and will do it again. They are just the right size for my kiddos. The only thing some locations will only do 1 per order so you have to split for food order in 2 to get both.

  18. Patti Ramey

    anyone know if florida is participating? Called several and they said they did not have them

  19. Benee

    Just called Mt Laurel NJ they are participating
    Thanks for the heads up 🙂

  20. Renee

    I called all the Wendy’s in my town but they said they hadn’t heard of the key tags, that the promotion must be only for certain locations and none in Central Wisconsin are participating. 🙁

  21. Jessica1111

    Just bought a few at the Wendys on Cedar st in Lansing……What a great deal!

  22. pattil24

    sheesh . . . after calling several of my nearby Wendy’s (portland, OR) and talking to the manager of one and getting absolutely no where, I decided to call Wendy’s corp and see if they could tell me if any stores in Oregon or SW Wash are participating. Not a very nice customer service person! Wouldn’t even let me finish explaining what I was inquiring about. Cut me off and said she didn’t know anything about it, therefore they must not be doing it. When I explained that lots of people had gone out and already donated and recieved a frosty key fob she said we did that last year . . .sigh . . . . so just thought I share. Seems like Wendy’s is getting some great PR from this, but they need to do this nationally and not just in some areas. Just my vent . . . I guess I just really disappointed we don’t get free frostys 🙁
    but my waistline and new years’ resolutations are grateful! Enjoy guys!

  23. paulemay

    If anyone in Salt Lake or Utah county knows of a Wendy’s that is participating I would love to know. I tried 3 in the West Jordan area and none of them had even heard of it.

    • RK

      Hey fellow utahn! I am wishing they were here too!

    • Lisa

      I just stopped by my Wendy’s today (Herriman, UT). The General Manager didn’t know anything about it, but there was a gentleman there who she asked (franchise owner maybe??). He told me that he saw an email about it, but it is an Eastern States thing, and wondered how I had heard about it. Can’t say I’m surprised it’s not in Utah – we could put them out of business with all the free frostys we’d be asking for!

  24. Connie

    I had one of these last year – they’re great! A quick meal of 2 chicken nugget orders, a soda and a jr frosty for only a couple bucks all the time.

    I’ll have to get another one for this year. I’m in the Chicagoland area.

  25. mipalady23

    Woo hoooo got four in Hagerstown MD!

  26. AMBER BAILEY

    I did this last year and my son loved getting his FREE Frosty each trip to Wendy’s! 😀 I went to about 4 different Wendy’s numerous times last year, all in which never asked to physically see the keychain. (Its kinda of hard to do anyway when your keys are in the ignition and youre in the drive-thru! lol) I will look and see if I find one participating again this year. My (non-couponing) sister is the one that told me about it last year! I was very surprised! Sometimes, I treat myself to a vanilla, yummy! 😀

  27. diane

    Check with your area Wendy’s some will honor the free frostys even if they don’t sell them. I am looking to purchase 4 if anyone is willing to help me. I live in TN.

  28. Mary K Gruender

    I loved ours from last year. It was a nice little free treat when needed.

  29. erinkilts

    I bought 3 of these last year and Wendy’s allowed me to get 3 free frostys with every purchase I made. One item from their value menu = 3 free frostys plus said item for less than $1.50?! I LOVE these things!

  30. Jill

    Anyone know if this is valid in VA? I saw that NJ and MD are doing it – tempting for there, since we’re up and down the east coast so often, but hoping they’ll do it at home, too!

  31. melissa

    I also did it in 2010, in texas… i am so excited they are doing it again!! You have to purchase something, and you will get the frosty free with that purchase!!

  32. jc0611

    Not valid in Mansfield, Ohio. I’d love to get one if someone would be willing to purchase one for me. You can email me at Jeanette2443@gmail.com Thanks!

  33. Sharon Heltzel

    In Ct bought 3 for my kids but they expire June 30,2011.

  34. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I’d be happy to mail these out to those of you who can’t get them in your area. You can reply back to me here or email me at erinkilts@gmail.com. Just give me a few days to get back to you – I have 4 little ones and sometimes I don’t have the chance to get online. I’m in Michigan.

  35. sweettreats

    Our Wendy’s in Ft. Dodge Iowa knew nothing about it.

  36. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Ypsilanti, Michigan – Wendy’s @ Ellsworth & Carpenter – confirmed
