There are more chances to get freebies and food deals for Halloween this year. With the spooky holiday falling on a Sunday, many businesses are having longer promotions but beware some deals also end before trick-or-treating begins. In some cases, a costume can be the ticket to a variety of free and cheap meal deals and goodies for kids of all ages at restaurants nationwide. Expect your doorbell to ring more this Halloween than last year with more families ready to put on costumes for candy and celebrating. According to the National Retail Federation’s annual survey, two-thirds of Americans (65%) plan to celebrate Halloween this year, compared to 58% in 2020, and just below the 68% who celebrated in 2019. Halloween spending is expected to reach an all-time high of $10.14 billion up from $8.05 billion last year when the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention suggested most avoid trick-or-treating. Numerator, a data and tech company, says candy purchases are also expected to approach pre-pandemic levels with 84% of consumers planning to buy candy or snacks for Halloween celebrations, down slightly from 90% in typical years. The following deals start before Halloween at participating locations nationwide and some will end before Sunday. Some deals may require a mobile app and most are while supplies last. Offers can vary by franchise so check with your closest location. Starting Thursday and through Halloween, Chipotle Mexican Grill plans to give away $1 million worth of free burritos through the “Chipotle Boorito Maze” at Roblox, a gaming platform. The contest starts each day at 6:30 p.m. ET where the first 30,000 Roblox users who “visit the cashier in the virtual Chipotle restaurant in costume” will receive a free burrito code. Then on Sunday from 5 p.m. to close, get a $5 deal when ordering online with promo code BOORITO. Learn more about Chipotle’s Boorito plans here. The Cheesecake Factory has an early Halloween deal that ends Friday. Get a free slice of Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake or Hershey’s Chocolate Bar Cheesecake through Friday with an online order of $40 or more.
