Extremely and Very Serious Food Holidays: National Sandwich Day
- 11/3: National Sandwich Day
- The Takeout mentions discounts and deals Jimmy John’s, McAlister’s Deli, Pizza Hut, Potbelly, and Schlotzsky’s.
- Subway’s rewards members can get a match on their point totals from competitors’ rewards programs, which is intriguing.
- The Today Show’s got deals from Beef O’Brady’s (wut), Domino’s, Firehouse Subs, Grubhub, Jersey Mike’s (yissss), Mr. Pickle (lulz), Quiznos, Ruby Slipper, and Which Wich, which is dead to me after getting rid of the Thanksgiving Turkey sando.
- More Upcoming Food Holidays
- 11/4: National Candy Day
- Why is The Today Show’s website so reliable for this? Anyway, I’ve not heard of most of these places, but hey, candy deals are candy deals.
- SusieCakes and See’s Candies are partnering for goodies.
- 11:5: National Doughnut Day and National Chinese Take-Out Day; the East Coast spells “donut” wrong. *runs away*
- 11/6: National Nachos Day: If I don’t see deals for this later, I’ll be shocked.
- 11/7: National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day; I love the oddly specific ones.
- 11/8: National Cappuccino Day
- 11/9: National Greek Yogurt Day . . . Chobani, where you at?
- 11/4: National Candy Day
