President’s Day, happening this Monday, February 16, tends to be overshadowed by its slightly older twin sister: Valentine’s Day. This often-forgotten holiday honors both George Washington’s and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays, and celebrates all U.S. presidents. Although most of us are not presidents, the extra day off work is appreciated by those who may have enjoyed their Valentine’s weekend a little too hard.
As with any holiday, a variety of brands offer exclusive deals and sales for Presidents’ Day. In addition to the classic mattress and kitchen appliance sales, a number of restaurants and fast-food chains are offering deals on menu items and dining credits. Keep reading to find out where to get some discounted eats this long weekend.
