Here's Where to Score Free Hot Dogs and More on National Hot Dog Day

What's better than a hot dog on a summer day? A free one!

Hot dogs are a timeless classic, perfect to enjoy at a cookout or while tailgating with friends. While it has long been debated whether or not they technically qualify as a sandwich, there’s no denying they are an ideal handheld meal to enjoy on the go.

Hot dogs can be dressed up or down, and enjoyed with an endless array of toppings. But whether you love your hot dogs with mustard and kraut or Chicago-style, it’s pretty safe to say they are even more delicious when they are free or discounted.

National Hot Dog Day, on July 21, celebrates the beloved hot dog, and many national chains are joining in on the fun with special deals and discounts.

7-Eleven

Can we have too much of a good thing? We don’t think so. At 7-Eleven, the Quarter-Pound Big Bite 100% beef hot dog is available for just $1 in honor of National Hot Dog Day — but no need to rush in to grab it. This deal will be available through the end of July.
