Some say that nothing in life is free, but we have to disagree. We love free stuff — who doesn't? — and we've got your back when it comes to freebies and giveaways around the Valley. 

Today, Tuesday, October 27 Sprinkles Cupcakes in Scottsdale is giving away one free mini cupcake to kids ages twelve and younger who arrive at the store wearing a Halloween costume. There's a limit of one cupcake per child.

Sprinkles is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, and is located at 4501 N. Scottsdale Road.

In addition to the October 27 free mini cupcake, Sprinkles is offering a Halloween BOO box special. A dozen cupcakes including three of Sprinkles' popular flavors — vanilla milk chocolate, black and white, and red velvet — along with a seasonal caramel apple cupcake, will be decorated with ghosts and Halloween regalia. The BOO box costs $43.34  and is available until October 31.
