Popular Grocery Chain Is Giving Away 45,000 Pints of Ice Cream This Summer

Summer is just over a week away and Kroger wants to help you cool down for free.

No, they don't mean just enjoying the air conditioning in their stores. The grocery chain is offering a free sweet treat to help celebrate longer, warmer days.

In honor of the summer solstice on Thursday, June 20, Kroger will give away 50 pints of free Kroger brand ice cream per minute, and you won't want to miss this amazing deal!

We can't wait to get our hands on some free ice cream!

Get Free Ice Cream While You Can

For those who aren't math-savvy (we relate), that amounts to 900 minutes of sunlight for the day, which is 45,000 pints of free ice cream, according to a release from the company.

This offer is valid for any pint of Kroger brand ice cream, including Mint Chocolate Chip, Ti Dye Burst, Vivid Vanilla, and more.

To redeem the free ice cream, visit FreeKrogerIceCream.com and download a limited-time, single-use digital coupon available only on Thursday, June 20, while supplies last. The coupon is redeemable at many Kroger Family stores, including Fred Myer, King Soopers, Ralphs, and Smith's Food and Drug.

The promotion is valid in all U.S. states except California, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Dakota, Nevada, Tennessee, and Virginia. If you live in one of these states, check Kroger's website for more summer promos as the season goes on.

What is the Summer Solstice?

This year, the summer solstice is on Thursday, June 20, which marks the first day of summer for the Northern Hemisphere. So while we have been seeing some great summer menu rollouts from fast food giants like Starbucks, Dunkin, McDonald's, and Taco Bell, the real summer season hasn't even officially started, yet.

June 20 will be the day with the longest daylight hours of the year, and the daylight hours will grow shorter each day, until the winter solstice occurs on December 21.

This also means that you can expect to see more and more promos and deals roll out from many companies as we get closer to the official first day of the warmest season.

And if you live in an area excluded from the promo, or if you don't have a Kroger near you, don't worry! There will be ice cream deals all summer long so be sure to check with your local grocery chains and favorite brands to see what they have in store this summer.
