What do you get for the dad who has everything? Why, a bunch of Father’s Day deals and freebies, of course. So, close those browsers tabs for “best beers for Dad” and “gift ideas that aren’t just another tie.” Because nothing says “I love you, Dad” like showing off your financial prowess.

Frugal fathers, avert thine eyes. In 2019, we spent a collective $16 billion on Father’s Day, making it a record high for the holiday, according to the National Retail Federation. Despite coronavirus-related closures and some slow restaurant reopenings, that number is expected to increase to $17 billion this year. However, that still pales in comparison to the $26.7 billion we spend on Mother’s Day. Extrapolate on that information however you see fit.

Fortunately, you needn’t break the bank entirely in order to appropriately honor your dad. Write him a nice card, give him a call, and then pick from these 25 Father’s Day 2020 deals and freebies. There are discounted electronics for the tech-y dad! There are movie deals for the cinephile father! There are more food deals than you’ll know what do to with. You’ve got until Sunday, June 21 to decide on the ideal deal for your dad.
