July 4th food deals: Get discounts at Baskin-Robbins, Buffalo Wild Wings, Target, Jimmy John's, more

With this July 4th holiday hitting on a Thursday, many Americans may be looking for bargains and happenings near home.

Record numbers of drivers and air travelers are expected to take off during the holiday week, according to AAA. But others may be considering staycations over the July Fourth holiday.

Nearly all (86%) of U.S. adults who have taken a staycation in the past – or are interested in one – see the Fourth of July as a good time to do so, found a survey conducted by research firm Prodege for Tito’s Handmade Vodka, which has a “Staycation with Tito’s” campaign hitting social media.

Getaways can be expensive, so some folks may decide "why don't we spend on a big party that's not going to be as expensive as a holiday weekend away," Katie Thomas, who leads the Kearney Consumer Institute, told USA TODAY.

Celebrators may look for bargains, but Thomas said, "people have just been leaning into celebrations since the pandemic, whatever holiday it may be."

Whether your celebration is big or small, here's some deals for your Fourth of July holiday:
