I am very ecstatic when I am reading this blog post because it is written in good manner and the writing topic for the blog is excellent. Thanks for sharing valuable information.
MOD Pizza is NOT doing buy one, get one.
These are not current
Mod Pizza does not love Virginia. They are NOT offering anything. Same with Greene Turtle.
Chick-fil-A, Mod Pizza, and Chipotle are all Not doing it this year due to COVID-19.
Raging canes has the same as sonic is this a mistype I really loved the meal that they gave last year please tell they are doing the same this year.
Raising Cane’s does not have an app
Please update your post to reflect current climate.
Chipotle is not doing the teacher appreciation this year. They posted in the comments on their Facebook page where a bunch of teachers were asking.
A lot of those have dates from 2019. Are these still happening this year? It says it was updated in 2020 but doesn’t look like it was. We’re all still teaching even during quarantine we deserve our discounts.
Looks like you forgot to update the actual article from 2019. Lots of old dates there, and lots of dine-in requirements. May not be current with recent COVID-19 regulations.
Tuesday, May 7th?
I just wrote an ING post as well. That has to be the sweetest free deal going right now.
