You’ve survived the deluge of N’SYNC memes and far more fun May Day posts. It’s May now. It’s a month for worker rights and, somehow, hamburger-based celebrations.

As far as food deals go, May is a top-12 month. It’s got them, plus occasions to celebrate great meals like Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, National Hamburger Day, and lots more. This month you’re going to find alluring offers from restaurants like Wendy’s, 7-Eleven, Red Lobster, Del Taco, and other restaurants with signs recognizable from the highway.

As they say, May comes in like N’SYNC and out like the end of school. Check back often. We’re updating this list of food deals frequently–sometimes daily–and there’s always something worth giving a try. Here are the best food deals you’ll find in May.
