Subway Restaurants sent me an e-mail about a deal through the end of October.

If you buy any 6-inch sub and drink, you can get a 6-inch sub of equal or lesser price for free.

There’s a bit of a catch. The deal is good daily, but only until 9 a.m. So if you want a free sub for lunch and/or supper, you need to stop in and get it at breakfast time.

The offer is only good while supplies last and you can only request three bags per household, the site says. After I filled in my information and hit “send my samples,” I received a checkout code that’s good for 15 percent off any online purchase through March 30.
