How leaplings celebrate their birthday on leap years
A leap year has an extra day in February causing those born on Feb. 29 to only get a birthday every four years
Every four years, on Feb. 29, shoppers get an extra day on the calendar, and retailers seize the opportunity with special leap day sales.
Feb. 29, a date that only graces our calendars in leap years, has become synonymous with special deals and discounts as businesses look to make the most of this extra day.
Here are some of the best leap day offers on food:
