National Taco Day is coming up, and to celebrate, Taco Bell are giving away tacos for $1 only, along with a bunch of other surprises. However, you’ll have to grab them while they last. 

Taco Bell have a lot to celebrate this fall. In September, they won a legal battle against a fellow taco chain that allowed them to officially move National Taco Day to the first Tuesday in October, “creating the Taco Tuesday of all Taco Tuesdays.”

“For years, we’ve celebrated National Taco Day on October 4, but it’s always felt like there was a bigger opportunity to align it with something even more special—Taco Tuesday,” commented Marlo Anderson, the founder of National Day Calendar.

In celebration of this Tuesday’s National Taco Day, Taco Bell are giving away $1 tacos for a full ten hours. That’s right, if you rock up to your local store on October 1, you’ll be able to snag up to ten tacos for only $1 each.
