Leap day, February 29, comes around every four years so it's only right that we find some way to celebrate it. While it's common in a lot of countries to think February 29 is an unlucky day, we think these food deals are anything but. In honor of the rare day, so many different food chains and brands are offering free food or discounts. If you happen to be a leap day baby, you'll be getting extra special treatment from places like Olive Garden and Denny's. What better way to spend this quadrennial occurrence than with some cheap food, am I right?

If a baby is born at a hospital 10 miles away from a Krispy Kreme location, all you have to do is cite the hospital, tag @KrispyKreme and use #KrispyKremeSpecialDelivery.
