On National Sandwich Day 2016 , it doesn't matter whether you call a roll filled with meat and cheese a sub, a hero or a hoagie -- whichever way you prefer to describe that everyman meal you can still get a deal on Thursday.
To celebrate this dubious holiday, a few chains are offering buy one get one free deals and reducing prices on signature sandwiches.
Head to Subway to score free food on National Sandwich Day. The Connecticut-based sandwich chain is offering customers a free sub when they purchase any sub and any drink on Thursday.
Subway, which has more than 44,600 locations around the world, will also donate to Feeding America, a national food bank network, for every free sub it gives away.
McAlister's Deli -- which has one location in New Jersey -- plans to celebrate National Sandwich Day by cutting the price on their six classic club sandwiches. The Atlanta-based chain is serving up those sandwiches for $4 all day long.
Check out the only Garden State location of McAlister's Deli at The Shoppes at the Livingston Circle in Livingston.
Fill up on a gooey gourmet sandwich at Tom + Chee for National Sandwich Day. The fast-casual chain that saw explosive growth after its founders appeared on ABC's "Shark Tank" is offering its classic grilled cheese sandwich for $2 all day Thursday.
Tom + Chee has one location in New Jersey: 3681 Route 9 in Freehold.
Quiznos, which has three locations in New Jersey, also plans to get in on the National Sandwich Day fun by giving out gift cards and other swag on Thursday. Check the chain's social media accounts on Thursday for more details.
