- Replies 0
Tax Day doesn’t exactly spark joy for most people—but maybe this year, that could change.
Once you’ve filed your return and set the paperwork aside, there’s something sweet (and savory) waiting on the other side.
A number of restaurants and retailers are offering special deals on April 15 to help take the edge off tax season.
And yes, many of them are totally free or deeply discounted.
From buy-one-get-one pasta to cookie cake slices and $0.01 cheeseburgers, here’s where you can snag a little reward for a job well done!
After checking off those tax forms, it’s time for something a little more satisfying.
