Freebie Alert: 4 Halloween Giveaways to Act on Now

It may be the most frightful time of year, but we've got four deals to at least make Halloween sweeter. When you want a break from candy, candy and more candy, head to one of these restaurants to pick up your very own reduced-price (or even free!) treat. It's no trick.

Chipotle

As a part of Chipotle's yearly "Boorito," anyone in costume after 4 p.m. Thursday can buy a burrito, bowl, salad or order of tacos for just $3. Proceeds up to $1 million will go to the Chipotle Cultivate Foundation, which supports sustainable agriculture organizations, family farmers, educators and programs that teach younger generations about sustainable food.

IHOP

Kids 12 and younger - no costume required - will get a free Halloween "scary face" pancake Thursday (buttermilk pancake topped with whipped cream smile, glazed strawberry nose, mini-Oreo eyes and candy corn teeth) .
