No “leap of faith” necessary here, these are all great Leap Day festivities and discounts. Given February 29th only occurs every four years, now’s the time to take the literal extra day and have a little fun. Did you know there are roughly 200,000 leap day babies in the U.S.? Better known as “leaplings.” (Aren’t we all a little envious of their youth?) Bargain hunters can leap around town on Saturday, February 29 to join in some Leap Day fun and savings.
The offers available at participating locations, while supplies last. (Note: Some of the deals may only be open to “leaplings” as noted. If you qualify, have your photo ID ready and be ready to prove your birthdate.)
Know of any deals or events we missed? Email info@milehighonthecheap.com and we’ll try and get it added. We’ll keep updating this list, so check back often.
Remember, “Leaplings” are people born on February 29.
