Father's Day food deals are live this week, and the window is short. said restaurants and delivery services are using free items, BOGO offers and delivery discounts to pull in holiday orders before June 20, June 21 or June 22.
The timing lines up with Father's Day spending expected to reach a record $27.9 billion, even as consumer sentiment continues to dip. For shoppers, that means the best savings are concentrated around this Sunday, with several promotions requiring a promo code or a membership.
Mike Snider tracks the offers
Mike Snider, national trending news reporter, compiled the roundup of Father's Day food deals and discounts. The list focuses on options that are easy to use quickly: a code at checkout, an app order, or a member-only buy-one-get-one offer.
55% of Father's Day celebrators plan a special outing, and 60% plan to buy greeting cards, but food is getting its own slice of the holiday budget. The average person is expected to spend $227, which leaves room for a meal deal without pushing the total far past that figure.
1914 and 1972 bookend the holiday's modern history: President Woodrow Wilson made Mother's Day a national holiday in 1914, and President Richard Nixon made the third Sunday in June officially Father's Day in 1972. That history now shows up in a retail calendar built around a single weekend of discounts.
Bojangles and Jimmy John's codes
Bojangles is offering a free Breakfast Combo when a customer buys one at participating locations through Monday, June 22. The deal works online and in the Bojangles app with promo code FATHERSBOGO, and app users also get a free Bo's Chicken Sandwich when they download the app.
Jimmy John's is running a separate buy-one-get-one offer for JJ Rewards members through Sunday, June 21. Customers can buy one Toasted Sandwich and get one free online or in the Jimmy John's app with promo code FAVECHILD.
7NOW Delivery is cutting $10 off an order of $20 or more with promo code FORDAD through Sunday, June 21. That discount is the most flexible of the group because it applies to delivery instead of a single menu item, which lets a customer apply the savings to a larger holiday order.
Crumbl ends June 20
Crumbl's Father's Day Bundl runs through Saturday, June 20, so it closes before the holiday itself. The offer comes in Large and Mini sizes, is available in 6-packs or 12-packs, and includes The Everything But The Dad Jokes Cookie, made with M&M's, peanut butter chips and peanut butter-coated potato chips and drizzled with milk chocolate.
20, 21 or 22: that is the practical cutoff shoppers need to track if they want the holiday pricing. Which of these Father's Day food deals are available at specific local locations beyond the examples named in the article is the one open question left for readers checking their own store pages before ordering.
