While all of the free meals and most of the other deals ended November 11, there are a few discounts that extend through the next day or so — Bed Bath & Beyond, Dollar General, Target and Walgreens. See bottom of list under “Veterans Day Discounts.” Here’s to our real-life superheroes in Colorado and around the country! There are many ways to thank veterans for their courage and sacrifice, but celebrating their heroism with freebies, discounts and deals on Veterans Day is a good start. It’s a small way to show appreciation and respect for their service and sacrifice. With a little planning, bargain-hunting vets can take advantage of multiple offers for one huge day of celebration and savings.
There are many complimentary meals, deals and discounts for military members (veterans and active-duty) on Veterans Day, Thursday, November 11 in Denver and Boulder.
Deals are continually being announced, so keep checking here for the latest Veterans Day deals.
The following guidelines apply to all of the offers, unless noted otherwise:
Dine-in only — no delivery or pick-up orders allowed.
Select menu only — most (if not, all) complimentary entrées and/or beverages are only available from a select Veterans Day menu, not the complete restaurant menu.
Available at participating locations. Not all locations may be participating for a variety of reasons. It might helpful to call ahead to confirm participation and availability.
While supplies last. Some offers may be limited in quantity, so it might be advantageous to visit earlier in the day. If possible, make a reservation or appointment ahead of time.
Only open to veterans and/or active military members. The offers do not extend to family members or friends.
Proof of service required. Be prepared with proper military ID or other proof of service. Verification may vary by restaurant or business.
Limit one offer per vet or active military member. Even though a restaurant or business may have multiple locations, the offer can only redeem once per qualifying customer.
Gratuity not included. Even though the meal may be complimentary, the gratuity is not included. Be prepared with some cash on hand to leave a tip for the staff. (Tax may not be included in some cases.)
Offers cannot be combined with other discounts or coupons.
Many more local restaurants and shops may also be honoring vets with a complimentary meal, drink or service. Check with your favorite neighborhood businesses, bars and eateries for additional Veterans Day offers.
Plus, don’t forget that metered parking is FREE in Denver on Veterans Day.
