Leap Day is almost here, bringing us an additional 24 hours. Since the Earth actually takes a little longer than 365 days to orbit the sun, Leap Day comes once every four years to balance things out. Luckily for us, the extra day in the calendar doesn't just mean an additional 24 hours, but also plenty of Leap Day 2020 deals to celebrate Feb. 29 and save some cash with awesome food and drink discounts.
Some deals for Leap Day celebrate those lucky few who are born on the extra calendar day. Since 2020 is bringing Feb. 29 babies their real day, instead of being forced to participate in festivities on Feb. 28 or March 1, there are some deals specific to those with the unique birth date.
However, there are also plenty of Leap Day deals that everyone can take part in. Everything — from food deals to beer deals — is up for grabs, so take note of which discounts you want to score on Saturday, Feb. 29.
1. Free Popeyes' Chicken Sandwich With Postmates
Postmates wants customers to celebrate Leap Day with something just as extra. If you purchase a Chicken Sandwich from Popeyes with Postmates through Friday, Feb. 28, Postmates will send you a free chicken sandwich code via email on Saturday, Feb. 29. The promo code is good for a free Popeye's Chicken Sandwich with a minimum order of $15.
2. Free Beer From Stella Artois
Stella Artois wants you to make the most of your time on the extra calendar day. If you have been canceled on recently and want to "UnCancel" those plans, you can get a cut of the Stella Leap Day Fund ($366,000 of free beer). You can get up to a 24-pack of Stella for free by sharing the Stella Artois film with the hashtag #UnCancelPromo and tag someone 21 or older that you want to spend Leap Day with. You just need to follow @StellaArtois first and purchase your beer now through Saturday, Feb. 29. Then, you'll be able to submit a redemption form through Saturday, March 14.
3. $29 Off Your 7-Eleven Order, Plus $2.29 Pizzas
To celebrate Leap Day, 7-Eleven is offering two different discounts. If you've never used the 7Now delivery app, Leap Day is the time to do it. First-time users who order over $50 worth of products from 7NOW on Saturday, Feb. 29 can enter the promo code 29OFF50 to score $29 off of their order. You can get 7NOW from Google Play or the Apple App Store.
The other deal is an in-store and 7NOW delivery offer. You can get whole pizzas for just $2.29 on Feb. 29 only.

5. Applebee's $1 Drink Deal
While this deal isn't specific to Leap Day, you can still go into your local Applebee's on Saturday, Feb. 29 and grab Applebee's drink of the month. The $1 Vodka Strawberry Lemonade is February's drink, and it happens to be the last day of the month. So, go on in if a boozy, sweet, and tangy lemonade sip sounds like your jam.
