Popular food chains like TGI Friday's, Sonic, and Krispy Kreme will offer tasty deals and discounts on July 4.

Customers who wear red, white and blue and visit participating Krispy Kreme locations on July 4 can also get a free Original Glazed® doughnut, limited to one per customer. From July 4 through July 6, Red Robin is offering a 20% discount on orders of $30 or more with the promo code "20JULY."

Retailers like Target and Walmart have events acting as thinly-veiled competition for Prime Day this year. That's obvious given their timing. And Home Depot is doing much of the same with its Fourth of July sale, offering excellent discounts of its own right now through July 9.
