National Ice Cream Day 2016 Freebies: 13 Places To Find Deals And Discounts On Dessert Sunday

It's cold, it's creamy, and on Sunday, it's free. Sunday is National Ice Cream Day, a food holiday with a presidential endorsement — Ronald Reagan created the event in 1984 — and a ton of deals.

Reagan, in his proclamation setting aside a day in July for what he declared "the perfect dessert and snack food," said he called upon Americans "to observe these events with appropriate ceremonies and activities." So... we need to eat.

Luckily, you can score a cone without breaking the bank. Here are 13 ice cream deals, collected from GO Banking Rates, Twitter and Refinery29:

At Carvel, customers can buy any soft ice cream cone or cup Sunday and get one free. (Carvel also did a survey for National Ice Cream Day and found that 26 percent of people bite into their ice cream. Weird.)

Cumberland Farms just launched a new line of ice cream sandwiches that cost $2.49. But you can score one for free with the purchase of any 20-ounce Pepsi or Mountain Dew drink through Sept. 6.

Dogs deserve dessert, too. PetSmart PetsHotel locations are giving away free cups of dog-safe ice cream Sunday. That same day, the company will also debut its Doggie Ice Cream Truck in New York City.
