National Pi Day is Thursday, March 14, this year, and you don't have to be a mathematical genius to enjoy the delicious discounts it offers.

 Here's where to find them.

What is National Pi Day?

The origins of Pi Day can be traced back to the late 20th century, with physicist Larry Shaw organizing the first official celebration at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988, according to History.com.
