Follow that up on Tuesday, July 31 with National Avocado Day and Chipotle's offer of free guacamole. The deal is available only when you order entrees online or via the Chipotle app.
"Our fresh, homemade guacamole has a massive fan following," Chris Brandt, chief marketing officer at Chipotle. "We want to show our love for the avocado and reward our customers' guac obsession. Plus, it's a major bonus that you can skip the line when you order ahead with our app or at chipotle.com."
Customers can use the 7-digit code AVOCADO when placing the online order to get guacamole on your entree or a free side of guacamole or a regular order of chips and guacamole when you buy a burrito, bowl, salad or order of tacos. After selecting an entree, customers can choose to add guacamole as an add-on, a side item or a regular order of chips and guac.
The offer is valid from open to close at participating Chipotle restaurants and is not valid for in-restaurant orders. Complete details here.
And let's not overlook National Ice Cream Sandwich Day on Thursday, Aug. 2.
CREAM (Cookies Rule Everything Around Me) shops throughout California are offering a mini ice-cream sandwich for just 1 penny that day from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., while supplies last.
"You're invited to help us celebrate National Ice Cream Sandwich day!' the company said. "A penny saved has earned you a mini cookie ice cream sandwich for 1 penny!"
