16 Deals & Freebies You Can Score On The Fourth Of July This Year

The Fourth of July is coming right up, and it's a holiday that can mean so many different things depending on who you are: a day off of work; a day to wear red, white, and blue from head to toe; a time to have a cookout, go to a cookout, or order takeout from Cook Out; the one day a year you crave those rocket popsicles; or a time to take advantage of all the 2019 Fourth of July deals and freebies you can get courtesy of celebrations, coupons, and good ol' American capitalism.

That's right. July 4 is not just a time to celebrate America's birthday by lighting fireworks, eating way too many potato chips even though you just had a burger, and sweating your butt off in the hot sun. It's also a time to shop the sales or share some sort of buy one, get one fast food sandwich with a friend.
