Other Ways to Get a Free Calendar
You can request calendars on the websites above. Those aren’t your only options though.
Here are a few more ways to get a calendar for free.
14. Check with car dealerships
Some car dealerships like Toyota, Ford, and GM sometimes give out calendars. So be on the lookout.
15. Ask at auto parts stores
Check with auto parts stores like NAPA, Autozone, and AdvanceAuto as they may offer free calendars.
16. Contact companies directly
Sometimes free calendar giveaways are kept low key. So a company may not post a request form on their site, like the ones above, and instead, they’ll just wait for people to request freebies. So, send a DM to your favorite brands on social media or visit their website for a contact form or email address you can use to request a free calendar.
17. Contact local banks
Be on the lookout for calendar giveaways next time you’re at the bank. Many banks prepare calendars but just keep it low key. So ask for a calendar, and you may get one!
18. Participate in contests, giveaways, and sweepstakes
Whether it’s a contest, a giveaway, or a sweepstake, be on the lookout for opportunities to get a calendar for free. Many companies host contests where they give away freebies, and many give away promotional items like calendars. A good place to keep up to date with giveaways is on social media. Just enter and you could win a calendar. It’s important to note though that there are a lot of scams out there. So do be careful. You should never have to pay to enter a contest, giveaway, or sweepstakes.
19. Ask at real estate agencies
Some realtors get promotional materials printed out to hand out as freebies. This can include calendars. Major agencies offer these out, so visit these offices if you’d like to get your hands on one.
20. Chinese restaurants
I’ve had a free calendar from a Chinese restaurant near me. So it’s totally possible you could get one as well. Lots of them offer wall calendars. The best part is that since Chinese New Year is later, you can often get one up until mid-February.
21. Check with local churches
Some churches give away free religious calendars each year. So it can be worth seeing if your church offers one this year.
Here’s to a Better New Year!
With lots of ways to get a calendar in 2021, it’s good to know that you can save a little cash heading into the new year. And if you know of any other tip or site where you can get a calendar for free, please share it in the comments below.
Have a great 2021!
I need a free 2021 calendar to keep up with my Dr. Appointments
Tracy, I hope your Dr appointments are just for routine check ups and nothing major. Try some of the places we listed above. Good luck.
I need a yearly calendar for 2021
My I get a free calendar so I keep my appointment on it
Hello! How soon might we begin requesting free 2022 paper calendars?
I’m particularly interested in those that include last quarter of 2021 besides all of 2022.
I know retail copies begin advertising & stores usually make such calendars available in July.
Thank you. Glad I found this site.
Mary, you have to contact the sites mentioned in the post directly. Just click the link, visit their site and use their “Contact” page to send them an email.
I am wondering if I am reading this correctly but to my understanding It seem as though you are giving out FREE wall calendars which I prefer. I also would like it sent via USPS (Mail) if possible rather than digital or email if this is indeed true. I understand if this is true; you will probably need a mailing address which I will provide later if necessary and if this is true. So please let me know if you have free wall calendars available for the year 2022. I really appreciate your assistance within this small matter and I hope that the new year has already begun to Bless all of you
Thank You
Blessings

Hi Rebecca, we (MoneyPantry.com) don’t send out free calendars. The companies listed in this post do! We included links to their website where you can fill out the free calendars request form and they’ll then mail it to you.
And yes, it won’t be a digital calendar. They actually mail you a physical calendar.
Hope this helps. Thanks for being a loyal reader of MoneyPantry.
