National Coffee Day: Freebies and deals

Mondays can be difficult, but luckily, today is National Coffee Day, so there are deals that can help kick your day into gear or give you a bit of a boost when the day starts to drag.

According to the website National Day Calendar, Sept. 29 is National Coffee Day.

Coffee has been a beverage of choice since the mid-15th century, when monasteries in Yemen started roasting coffee beans to brew coffee. Traders had brought the seeds from Ethiopia to grow them in Yemen. Coffee then went to Italy and then the rest of Europe, Indonesia, and then the Americas.

Brazil is the largest producer of coffee, with Colombia number two.

How can you celebrate the unofficially buzzy holiday? With coffee deals of course.
