From Chipotle to Shake Shack — all the Halloween deals and freebies – UK Times

Looking for a place to eat on Halloween does not always mean being stuck with scary prices.

Halloween’s origins date back over 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (sow-in), when, according to tradition, the ghosts of the dead returned to walk the earth before a new year began November 1 for the Celts.

However, what started as a long tradition of sacrifices, bonfires, activities, and the telling of ghost stories quickly became Americanized as we spend every October 31 dressed up in costumes while begging our neighbors for candy.

Regardless of whether or not you choose to celebrate Halloween more traditionally or modernly, restaurants across the U.S. are prepared to offer prices that are worthy of a treat.

KFC

The fried chicken chain is offering 50 chicken nuggets, complete with 10 dipping sauces, on Halloween for $20 to celebrate the holiday.

Whataburger

The burger chain will be celebrating Halloween by offering its rewards members a buy-one-get-one-free nine-piece wings special.

Shake Shack

The fast food restaurant’s customers are in for a scary good deal with the ability to buy two Double Shackburgers for the price of one from October 22 through Halloween. To redeem the special, they can use the promotional code “SPOOKY” when ordering on Shake Shack’s app, in stores at kiosks and online.
