Halloween 2018: Where to find free food, special offers, deals

Sure, it’s all about the kids, the candy and the spooky effects, but Halloween can be about so much more.

So much more free stuff.

Restaurants and retailers are in the holiday spirit, so to speak, and offering deals, discounts and freebies to patrons on Halloween. Here’s a look at some of the deals you can nab on All Hallows Eve.

(Note: Not every restaurant in a chain may be honoring the deals, so be sure to check with local restaurants to confirm which deals are available before you go. Most offers are dine-in only and can’t be used with any other discount or coupons. Prices may vary with location.)
