After a fun-filled summer, you might be looking to save a bit of dough heading into the fall. But there’s still one exciting summer milestone to celebrate: Labor Day!
Labor Day isn’t just a random holiday on the calendar. It first originated in the late 19th century as the organized labor movement gained momentum. After New York unions organized a parade in September 1882 and took an unpaid day off work to celebrate, many states started declaring Labor Day an official holiday within a few years.
And just in time for the holiday, many restaurants open on Labor Day and food brands are serving up steep discounts and fabulous freebies. Want to get in on all the deal madness? We’ve outlined a list of the top promotions you’ll want to scoop up.
