Dairy Queen appears to be promoting their Blizzard Club the best way possible – FREE BLIZZARDS.

Granted you still need to buy the first one, but if you sign up for their Blizzard Club (using the link provided below) you get a free Blizzard when you buy another.

Sounds like a great Summer deal to me … just in time for the nice weather this weekend.
