Fourth of July 2025: Where to score the best deals and free food

The Fourth of July has arrived and will be filled with barbecues, fireworks, and good deals.

Also known as Independence Day, the federal holiday dates back to 1776 to commemorate the anniversary of the ratification of the Declaration of Independence, which established the U.S. as a sovereign nation, declaring its independence from Great Britain.

Although the day is normally celebrated with charcoal-grilled cheeseburgers and homemade potato salad, here are the deals to take advantage of if you’re in the mood for takeout instead.
