You don’t have to be Irish to take part in these deals on St. Patrick’s Day.

The annual holiday that observes the death of Ireland’s patron saint, St. Patrick, has become a global celebration of Irish culture. It’s also a holiday marked by plenty of deals for the hungry and thirsty among us.

Sure, you can get a Shamrock Shake at McDonald’s and green beer at various bars, but what about specialty items that are discounted or (almost) completely free?
