Cool Off with BOGO Shakes From Shake Shack in August

Score a free shake with this Shake Shack promo.

August is here, and the weather is still hot -- making it the perfect time to escape the sun and cool down with a milkshake. If you follow a strict budget, you may be limiting the number of treats you buy to save money. But one fast food eatery has a deal that could stretch your money further, so you don't have to miss out on all the fun.

Shake Shack has a money-saving deal available this month, allowing you to enjoy two shakes for the price of one. Find out how to score a free shake this summer.

Enjoy buy one, get one shakes 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays

You'll like this sweet deal if you have a Shake Shack in your area.

On weekdays in August, the company is offering buy one, get one shakes from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. when you order through the Shake Shack website or app for pickup. When ordering online, choose two shakes and use the code SHAKEUP to get your second shake free.

This promotion is available at participating locations. Remember that you must place your order online directly through Shake Shack. If you try to use food delivery apps to place your order, this promo won't work.

This promotion is available during participating hours every weekday in August -- meaning you can take advantage of this freebie more than once.

Is this a good deal?

This is a great deal! Prices vary by location, but you can expect to pay at least $5 for one milkshake at your local Shake Shack. There's no reason to pay $10+ for two if you don't have to.

Ordering buy one, get one shakes is an excellent way to treat yourself (and a friend) while still honoring your financial goals. This deal could help you keep more money in your bank account.

Keep alert for other food deals

If you're not a big ice cream fan, that's okay. (But maybe I'm judging you a little -- just kidding!)
