Jimmy John’s upgraded America’s lunch plans last year when it celebrated its first-ever Customer Appreciation Day with a deal for $1 subs. Now, after quietly teasing its plans for the occasion this year, the chain has confirmed it will again offer the super cheap sandwiches today, May 2.

Here's the deal:

Jimmy John's locations across the country will sell you a sub for just $1, today, Tuesday, May 2, from 4pm to 8pm, a spokesperson for the sandwich chain said. Like last year, the rare discount applies to the #1-#6 sandwiches on chain's menu along with the J.J.B.L.T. and Plain Slims. The price doesn't include sales tax, and you might have to pay a little extra if you want your mayo-soaked sandwich on wheat bread. You'll also have to show up at a participating Jimmy John's location. Thankfully, the company made a location search tool you can check before showing up and demanding cheap subs.

Perhaps the best part of the $1 sub deal, though, is only mentioned in the fine print on Jimmy John's FAQ page. In response to the question, "Can I go through the line more than once for a $1 sub?" the sandwich chain states, "Yes! You may go through the line multiple times, at the store’s discretion." Uh, challenge accepted. You have four hours, people.
