<\/p>\n

A lot of websites out there list promotions from previous years, meaning they\u2019re out of date and therefore not valid, and they won\u2019t save you money this year.<\/p>\n

In our list, we\u2019ve only included free stuff and discounts reported on one of the following places:<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re looking for free meals<\/a> on Veterans Day or money off your grocery shopping, check out our list and start saving!<\/p>\n

By the way, don\u2019t confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day<\/a>. The difference is, on Veterans Day we celebrate all U.S. military veterans and their services, while on Memorial Day we honor our fallen heroes (those who died while in military service.) And yes, you can get free meals for veterans on memorial day.<\/p>\n

Before we get onto the list, we just want to mention a few useful things.<\/p>\n

Number one<\/strong>: To redeem most, if not all, of these offers, you will need to show proof of service or an ID.<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t forget to take your ID or other documentation that proves your service, with you!<\/p>\n

And number two<\/strong>: Let\u2019s say that Applebee\u2019s says it offers free food to veterans on November 11th<\/sup>. Just because one Applebee\u2019s offers this deal, it doesn\u2019t mean that all locations will.<\/p>\n

What we\u2019re saying is that some national and chain brands will only provide a veterans offer at participating locations. So the offer might not be available at all locations.<\/p>\n

This means that it\u2019s a good idea to ask at your local store\/business whether they offer the veterans special before you order any food or purchase any item, ticket or service.<\/p>\n

Finally number three<\/strong>: Some of these offers are solely available on Veterans Day, which in 2018 falls on a Sunday, whereas others are available for the whole weekend, or for the Monday after. Some deals are even available for the whole of November. We\u2019ll let you know below when the deals are available<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with restaurants and other eateries that offer free meals on Veterans Day or discounts at least.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find that there are so many restaurants, from Mexican restaurants to pizza places that provide free food on Veterans Day.<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s important to note though that most of these offers are dine-in only, so don\u2019t apply to takeout orders.<\/p>\n

So check out the list and eat for free!<\/p>\n
