Don’t bite that “special” burger tomorrow: why National Hamburger Day 2026 could drain your wallet faster than a milkshake
Happy National Hamburger Day 2026! Before you run out for that $5 deal, pause and scan the fine print. Restaurants are rolling out "limited-time offers" with sneaky upcharges—like forcing you to buy a combo or a drink you didn't want—to pad your bill by up to 40%. Worse, some chains are shrinking patty sizes while keeping prices the same. Consumer advocates warn: the best deal this year might be staying home and grilling yourself. Your wallet thanks you.
