Where To Get Free (Or Cheap!) Burgers On National Cheeseburger Day

Today is National Cheeseburger Day, and I know what you're thinking: literally every other day is cheeseburger day for you. But today, it's official, and the whole nation is celebrating with you. So you're going to want to know where you can get your paws on a free or cheap cheeseburger, because yes, you better believe there are some amazing deals going on right now. Even if you don't like cheeseburgers, you're probably going to eat one today because so many businesses are offering super generous deals.

First, you'll have to decide what kind of cheeseburger you're in the mood for, because not all meat patties and cheese slices are created equal. Some cheeseburgers are stacked stall and let all ingredients share the spotlight. They're just as much about the pickled onions as they are about the meat. Other cheeseburgers are more compressed. They're more about sauce and texture. Other cheeseburgers are just vehicles for ketchup and pickles. If you're a real burger connoisseur, you know exactly what I'm talking about and because we only have lunch and dinner left to celebrate our cheeseburger appreciation, we've got to make wise choices. Here are some of the best burger deals out there right now:
