Tax Day Freebies!

I'm sure most of us in the U.S. are probably less than thrilled about April 15, that glorious day on the calendar when the tax man cometh, that day by when all of us are supposed to file our taxes (or at the very least, an extension).  All that paperwork, all those headaches, all that frustration getting receipts together and completing forms--joy to be sure.

Well, a lot of businesses want to make tax day go down a little easier for us (and for them), so many are offering all kinds of freebies and other discounts on April 15.  McDonald's, for instance, is offering a second Big Mac for 1 cent when you buy the first at the regular price.  Burger King is giving a free Whopper with a coupon when you buy one Whopper.  And Schlotzsky's is giving away their small original sandwich for free if you buy a 32 oz drink and a bag of chips.  For a list of various places offering tax day deals, click here.

So if you're feeling a little crabby today because of tax day, make good on taking advantage of some deals that the businesses are offering.  Reward yourself a little for filing your taxes this year.  On a positive note, you won't have to go through the experience again for another 365 days.

Yours ever chipper from the perch.
