Here's something to perk up your weekend: National Coffee Day is Sunday and savings are brewing on cups of joe.
The big picture: Coffee is considered the nation's second most popular beverage, only behind bottled water, with 63% of Americans drinking it in the past day, according to data from the National Coffee Association.
- That's down slightly from an NCA survey earlier this year that showed coffee drinking in America reached a 20-year high.

- Not all locations are participating and most offers require a purchase.
- Local businesses may also have deals and some will post on their social media channels.
- Be on the lookout for contests from brands. For instance, Keebler has a contest on Instagram.
