These National Holidays in March also often bring sales:


March 7th is National Cereal Day which means you could score deals on your favorite breakfast food.

March 7th is National Cereal Day and the perfect time to snag a hot sale on your favorite breakfast cereal and potentially even milk. Last year popular brands like Magic Spoon, Catalina Crunch, General Mills and more were offering in-store and online deals.


March 14th is National Pi Day and you can potentially score some free pie or pizza to celebrate.

Pi is the mathematical symbol used to represent the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Since the value of this infinite decimal is roughly 3.14, Pi Day is celebrated every year on March 14th!

Many restaurants mark this annual math-inspired occasion by offering up Pi pizza deals and baked goods that come in the form of pie. Last year, we saw many $3.14 deals on pizza at multiple restaurants like California Pizza Kitchen, Pizza Hut, 7-Eleven, and much more! Plus, we even spotted deals on sweets from Marie Calendar, Burger King, and more!
