Where To Get Free Food On Leap Day, February 29

When you think of national food holidays, you probably don't think of Leap Day—but maybe that's because it only comes around every four years. The year 2024 will have 366 days, and the month of February gets one extra day tacked onto its 28-day stretch. To celebrate the extra 24 hours of 2024, these restaurants are rolling out extra deals on free and cheap food. Here's where to go for a small reward.

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse would like its customers to treat themselves on February 29 this year. On Leap Day, the restaurant is offering Pizookies for $2.29 (typically $5) with a $10 minimum purchase for dine-in customers. The dessert comes in a number of flavors, including a classic Chocolate Chunk, Hot Fudge Brownie, Strawberry Shortcake, and more.

Guacamole at Chipotle usually costs extra but not on this extra day of the year. For Leap Day, Chipotle is offering rewards members free guacamole when using the code EXTRA24 at checkout on the brand's app or website.

Chipotle is also running an "Extra Day, Extra Codes" promotion in which customers have the chance to win free guacamole for a year. To participate, you must find hidden keywords in the brand's Instagram posts; there will be 10 hidden keywords on February 27 and nine on February 28. For each keyword, the 366th person to text the keyword to 888222 will win free guac for a year from Chipotle. (Because there are 366 days in a leap year, get it?)

Leap Day celebrants can get an extra jolt of caffeine at Dunkin' with this February 29 deal. Members of the Dunkin' Rewards program can get a $2 medium Cinnamon Vanilla Coffee through the Dunkin' app and earn four times the points on all their app orders for the day.

Leap Day celebrants can enjoy the extra day with an extra doughnut at Krispy Kreme. The chain is offering customers an Original Glazed dozen for $2.29 with the purchase of any regularly priced dozen.

However, those with a February 29 birthday are even luckier, because they can get an Original Glazed doughnut for free, no purchase necessary. Leap Year babies will have to show proof of their birthday to get their treat.

Marco's Pizza is going super extra for this leap year celebration: The pizza chain is offering 29% off all menu-price pizzas until March 3. To redeem the offer, customers should use the code LEAP29 at checkout; the deal is only valid for online or mobile app orders.

With this extra day tacked onto the month, some people might be in search of an extra dinner plan. Papa Murphy's, the take-and-bake pizza chain, is offering 29% off when you spend $20 using the code LEAP24. This offer is only valid for online orders on Leap Day.

More days means more slices. On February 29, the Round Table Pizza is offering $7 off a large or extra large pizza when using the code LEAP7 at checkout.

Whether you're taking the extra day this month to relax or get more stuff done, you could take advantage of Salad and Go's Leap Day promotion. The drive-thru salad chain is offering a free avocado add-on to any breakfast burrito, breakfast bowl, custom salad, or made-to-order wrap.

The promotion is only available from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on February 29.

After rolling out its entire menu plan for 2024, Taco Bell is keeping its promotion for Leap Day pretty simple. On February 29, customers can get a Crunchwrap for a discounted price of $2.29, limit one per customer. The offer is only valid for digital orders.
