Hey, it’s National French Fry Day 2023! Let’s eat some fried potatoes!
Some big-name chains are honoring the celebration of crispy spuds by handing out some free or discounted fries, and we’re here to help you get them, because who doesn’t love free or less expensive food?
Also, this is a good place to remind you that French fries may not actually have been French — they’re actually likely from Belgium. See? We’re bringing you free food AND some facts that you can bring with you while you eat!
So let’s dive in with some deals you can get on Thursday, July 13, 2023:
