Tax Day deals and freebies: Everything from sweet treats to meal deals and free paper shredding

Did you know that Tax Day is officially set for April 18th in 2023? While that gives you an extra three days, it’s likely that you are still finding all the paperwork and numbers to be… well, very taxing.

Every year, many restaurants and retailers offer Tax Day discounts and freebies, in an effort to help you ease the stress. This is a list of those deals.

Most of the deals are only valid on Tax Day, April 18th, 2023. However, the dates vary, so be sure to review the details before making your rounds.

All of the offers are only valid at participating locations, while supplies last.

HINT: Since Tax Day is on a Tuesday this year, you might hit up your favorite Tex-Mex dining establishment to see what kind of Taco Tuesday deals they’re running — out favorite is Tin Lizzy’s for $2.99 tacos and drink specials all day long!
