Celebrate National Taco Day with a bunch of free tacos and deals on everyone’s favorite Tuesday meal.
For more ways to say, check out all of our frugal posts.
I say it all the time, but I should have born Mexican or Italian because I love their food. Honestly, I could eat Mexican food every day of my life. I think a lot of people would agree, which is why Taco Tuesday is so popular.
Speaking of Taco Tuesday, the first Tuesday of October is National Taco Day. So the date of National Taco Day changes annually, but the day never changes. This year, the holiday is Tuesday, October 1.
In honor of National Taco Day, a bunch of fast-food restaurants have deals for taco lovers. We’ve collected them all on this list so you can find the best deals.
National Taco Day is just one of the days during the year where you can take advantage of deals on food. For more, check out our full National Day Calendar.
