Back-to-school season is officially here, and suddenly, every meal feels like a scramble—quick breakfasts as you’re running out the door, makeshift lunch boxes, and dinners that need to hit the table before the hunger complaints begin.

From Sept. 15-21, Burger King is rolling out seven days of free menu favorites, each available with a purchase of $1 or more. And it’s not just burgers.
You can snag a Croissan’wich for breakfast, or even Cini Minis (yes, those beloved little bites that just returned after a 13-year hiatus). Here’s the full schedule of freebies:
- Sept. 15: Free Hamburger with $1+ purchase
- Sept. 16: Free Cini Minis with $1+ purchase
- Sept. 17: Free Croissan’wich with $1+ purchase

So whether you’re swinging by after school for a snack fix or grabbing a Croissan’wich before the morning drop-off, BK has plenty of ways to make your week easier and tastier.
And the perks don’t stop there. Next week, in celebration of National Coffee Day, you can swing by BK again for a free Medium Iced Coffee on Sept. 29 with a $1+ purchase. Because let’s be honest—fall always calls for an extra coffee run.
