October 1 archive: This roundup records the offers shared on October 1, 2026. That date has passed. Some promotions below recur or have later end dates, but the original artwork does not establish availability on a later visit. Confirm current terms and any weekly code before ordering.
Our October 1 Instagram roundup features six restaurant deals for Thursday, from weekly wings to pizza pairings and pasta refills. Most have official offer pages; Jimmy John’s $8.99 meal has an earlier official announcement, but its availability on October 1 was not confirmed.
Applebee’s: six free boneless wings with a qualifying $15 order
Club Applebee’s members can sign up for the free NFL Season Wing Ticket and receive a unique weekly code. Applebee’s terms say codes arrive on Sundays from September 13, 2026, through January 10, 2027, and work Sunday–Thursday of that week. Redeem through Applebee’s website or app on a To Go order with at least $15 in qualifying purchases. Alcohol, gift cards, taxes, fees and tips do not count toward the minimum. Limit one six-piece order per week at participating locations; third-party delivery sites are excluded.
Panera: Mix & Match from $4.99 per item
Order two to ten different eligible items as Mix & Match at participating U.S. cafes. Panera’s menu announcement specifies half sandwiches, half salads and cups of soup, with one side for the entire order. The advertised price is per item, so two cost $9.98 before tax or changes. Upgrades and substitutions are excluded; modifications cost extra. Delivery prices are higher and fees apply.
Pizza Hut: two or more Deal Lover’s items from $7 each
The Deal Lover’s menu includes selected medium one-topping pizzas, Melts, eight-count boneless wings, pasta, sides and desserts. Choose at least two qualifying items. Prices and participation vary, and Pizza Hut warns that pizza, pasta and wings may cost more. Tax and delivery fees are additional.
Papa Johns: Papa Pairings from $6.99 each
Choose two or more items from the Papa Pairings menu, such as eligible medium one-topping pizzas, sandwiches, wings, bread sides or desserts. The offer supports carryout and delivery; delivery adds fees. Check your restaurant’s selections and price before paying.
Olive Garden: Never-Ending Pasta Bowl from $14.99
The official offer includes pasta and sauce refills, with soup or salad and breadsticks in-restaurant. Protein toppings cost extra, and refills are dine-in only. Prices and availability vary. Olive Garden’s Pasta Pass site lists the Pasta Bowl promotion through November 22, 2026.
Jimmy John’s: check the reported $8.99 meal deal
The artwork advertises a sandwich, chips and drink for $8.99. A March 16 official announcement offered an eight-inch Turkey Tom or The Pepe with Jimmy Chips and a regular fountain drink, online or in the app at participating locations. That limited-time announcement does not establish availability on October 1. Confirm the meal appears at your selected store before ordering. Its published terms exclude combining discounts; taxes, add-ons and upgrades cost extra.
