Sure, there’s tons of free candy to be had for Halloween. But what about freebies and deals on real food?
Luckily for parents (the ones buying all that “free” candy), fast-food and chain restaurants roll out some pretty good deals for Halloween. So when your family has come down off the sugar high and needs some actual food fast, check out some of these ghoulish deals.
Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme gives out free doughnuts all the time, and Halloween is no exception. On October 25 or October 31, head to your nearest KK wearing a costume and get a free original glazed doughnut. Sounds like a great way to start your trick-or-treating.
Chipotle
Chipotle is well-known for its annual “boo-rito” tradition with free or cheap burritos. It’s happening again this year, but the chain is waiting until closer to Halloween to announce it. Last year, the deal was $6 burritos.
In the meantime, members of the chain’s rewards program who place an entree order through the app will get a Chip-or-treat deal via email afterwards. Expect things like free guac or queso.
