In these tough economic times, everything that can be done to relieve some of the pressure on Americans struggling to get by is welcomed, whether it be incentives to buy new cars or homes, or a package of hot dogs for no charge.

Oscar Mayer is the one offering up the free franks. They're giving away up to $1 million in Jumbo Beef Franks, for those who sign up at the Web site they've set up for the promotion, http://kraft.promotions.com/ombeeffranks/front.do.

Once you sign up for the offer, you'll get a coupon (within four to six weks) for your free package of Jumbo Beef Franks. Hurry up, though, because the promotion ends at 10:59 Central Time Wednesday.
