$29 off at Three Brothers Bakery

You’ll have to be pretty organized to get the Leap Day deal at Three Brothers Bakery. Every customer who makes a purchase on Saturday will be given a coupon for $29 off your purchase. The coupon is redeemable only on Feb. 29, 2024. The inspiration for this promotion came from The Waldorf-Astoria. The Waldorf-Astoria gave out coupons to the people who were at the hotel during the 1965 Great New York City Blackout for a free drink. The coupons were redeemable during the next blackout. In 1977, when NYC experienced its next blackout, people came in with their coupons to redeem their free drink. To redeem the $29 off your purchase on Feb. 29, 2024, the original coupon given out on Feb. 29, 2020, must be presented in person.

Grab these deals this Saturday. They won’t come around again for another four years.
