Whether you’re planning to go out before or after a St. Paddy’s Day parade, many restaurants are offering food and drink deals specific to the holiday this year.
Where are some of the standout deals? Now through March 17, Krispy Kreme is offering a Good As Gold Dozen specialty dozen. This includes the four new sweet flavors from their St. Patrick’s Day collection.
Pizza lovers can also get into the holiday spirit at Marco’s Pizza. A Marco’s Pizza representative told GOBankingRates you can use code MED799 to get as many green toppings — like green peppers, spinach or green olives — as you like added to a medium one-topping pizza for only $7.99 each. (This code is available for a limited time.)
Not sure if your favorite restaurant is offering a deal or discount? Katie Roberts, consumer analyst with DealNews.com, recommends signing up for your favorite restaurants’ email lists before the holiday and following their social media accounts.
