Taxable Items

Schwan's is offering $10 of free food, and they definitely have a lot of items you could order under $10. The first 500,000 new customers after noon on Saturday, August 1 will receive $10 of FREE FOOD from Schwan's.

I just placed my order to be delivered on Tuesday. Please let me know if you get through and what you order by leaving a comment. Schwan's says that "no purchase is necessary" and there is no delivery fee so this does look like a great offer for those who are new customers and within a Schwan's delivery route. Depending on where you live, you may have to pay sales tax. You can just enter your zipcode if you aren't sure if Schwan's delivers to your area.
