Halloween is a day where you can grab some free food, and it's not all just behind your neighbor's door.

Halloween is great. Arguably, the best part isn’t even the candy. Even if you love the candy part, it’s bite-sized pieces. It’s not quite the same as having your neighbor drop a whole pizza or cheeseburger in your pillowcase. (Though, if your neighborhood gives out full meals during trick-or-treating, we’d like the address, please.)
Even if your neighbors aren’t that cool, restaurants almost are. They might not dole out a totally free homemade meal, but they are slinging deals and you can be the beneficiary. You’ll find impressive offers are restaurants like Krispy Kreme, Insomnia Cookies, 7-Eleven, Jack in the Box, Qdoba, and many others.
Here are the best food deals you’re going to find on Halloween.
