BOO! This Halloween offer from Wendy’s will definitely leave trick-or-treaters “in the cold”, but in the sweetest way possible.

Rather than handing out candy on Halloween night, give the “little monsters” a lesson in saving money by dropping a sweet deal in their bag — a coupon they can redeem for a sweet treat. 

Wendy’s is again offering one of our favorite Halloween freebies.

And they’re not just to hand out to witches, goblins and super heroes on Halloween night. Frugal families can use the coupons to treat themselves whenever they dine at Wendy’s.

Wendy’s Boo! Books

Scare up a Boo! Book at Wendy’s for just $1 with five (5) coupons — each good for a FREE Classic Jr. Frosty. The coupons are valid through Dec. 31, 2026.

The seasonal booklets are available now through Oct. 31, 2026 at participating locations, while supplies last. 

 A Classic Jr. Frosty is regularly $2.69, so the savings are frightfully good. In the end, each Jr. Frosty costs only 20 cents — if you do the math. That’s 93% off the regular price. Regular price may vary by location. 

Plus, Wendy’s has added a sixth bonus coupon good for a $1.99 Kids’ Meal with any purchase. 

The books are available for purchase in-restaurant, at the drive-thru or self-order kiosk and via the Wendy’s app. 

The books are also available online (including bulk orders) at davethomasfoundation.org. However, expect to pay additional shipping costs. 

Sweetest of all, 90 cents of every book sold benefits the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption in finding forever families for children waiting in foster care.

Popeyes is opening up a big box of savings…again! Bargain hunters know that bundled meal deals are the best option to save money when dining out.

They always offer more value than buying each menu item separately. And, if there’s more food than you can eat, you can always save the extra for a midnight snack.
