Healthy chains rarely run day-of-week specials, but grocery prepared-food counters and a few regional chains do, and they repeat every week. This page is the calendar; each deal also appears in the daily list on its day. Jump to: Monday · Tuesday · Wednesday · Thursday · Friday · Saturday · Sunday.
Monday TODAY
Mondays are a reset day: weekend bundles disappear and app-only offers take over. Most app deal tabs refresh Monday morning, so check Chipotle and Chick-fil-A first for the week’s new offers.
Free Mod Monday: One Drink Customization Free, Up to $2.25
Monday, October 5 only: Starbucks Rewards members (free account required) get one drink customization free, up to $2.25 before tax: an extra espresso shot, a syrup or sauce, cold foam, protein cold foam or protein-boosted milk. Apply it in the app or ask the barista; not combinable with other Rewards or offers. Starbucks says members get one free customization each month.
Loco Rewards Monday: Chips and Guacamole for $1 with an $11.99 Order
Every Monday, Loco Rewards members (free account required) get regular chips and guacamole for $1 with a purchase of $11.99 or more; the offer drops in the app on Mondays, one per member per week. Listed by The Krazy Coupon Lady on October 2, 2026.
Tuesday is taco night: Tijuana Flats runs Taco Tuesdaze (two tacos, chips, and a drink for about $7.99) at participating FL & Southeast locations, and taco specials across chains make this one of the cheapest dinner nights of the week.
Wednesday
Wednesday is grocery sushi day almost everywhere: Publix, Sprouts, Food Lion, Weis and Hannaford run $5 select rolls, Lowes Foods $4.99, Kroger-family and Hy-Vee stores $6, H-E-B $7, and Meijer, ShopRite and Stop & Shop $5.99, all at the in-store counter with no coupon or app. Go before the lunch rush: the $5 selection sells out first.
Thursday
Chains tend to preview weekend offers on Thursdays: check the app deal tabs tonight for anything expiring Sunday.
Friday
Friday is grocery deal day: many Safeway and Albertsons divisions run $5 Friday on prepared foods like sushi and 8-piece chicken, Harris Teeter sells four Zenshi rolls for $6 on Fridays, and Hy-Vee's Nori Sushi counters go buy one, get one 50% off.
Saturday
Weekends skew toward family bundles and delivery-app promos: single-visit value boxes still apply, breakfast deals run later than weekdays, and H-E-B repeats its $7 select-roll sushi price on Saturdays across Texas.
Sunday
Sunday is prep-for-the-week day: stack what’s left of weekend offers, and remember most app deal tabs refresh Monday morning.
Fire-Grilled Combos from $5.99: Pollo Bowl, Chicken Burrito or 3 Tacos al Carbon with Chips and a Drink

Sub of the Week: $2 Off This Week's Featured Whole Sub
