Celebrate National Whataburger Day, National Custard Day with free food

El Paso parents might be feeling a little spent, literally, after having to buy lots of school supplies, uniform pieces and shoes for back-to-school season.

Hopefully, they are almost done checking off those must-have lists or, at least, ready for free food deals to keep a few bucks in the wallet.

Fortunately, there is always something to celebrate nationally, and local franchises are getting in on the celebrations with free offers.
