Eclipse Deals You Won’t Find in North Dakota
Many businesses and brands throughout the country are running promotions coinciding with Monday's solar eclipse, but not all consumers are in a location to take advantage.
The solar eclipse has given restaurants and retailers a chance to promote eclipse-themed deals, or just to showcase certain items on their menus or within their stores. In North Dakota, we most certainly have the opportunity to capitalize on a few. Most notably, Dairy Queen has the buy one Blizzard, get one for 99 cents, which starts up Monday, in honor of the solar eclipse. Another example is Denny's "Mooncakes", which are pretty much an excuse to have all-you-can-eat pancakes for just $4.
However, there are some deals taking place that North Dakotans will not be able to take advantage of. We've listed a few below.

McDonald's
About 98 percent of the country won't be able to partake in the McDonald's promotion that is only happening in Oregon. Purchase a burger there and you get a pair of solar eclipse glasses. These glasses are certified by both NASA and the American Astronomical Society.
