Tax Day 2013 Freebies & Recessionista Deals

Tax Day Freebies for 2013

April 15, Income Tax Filing Day is upon us.  Some of us owe, some of us pray for a refund, but all of us hate to file, am I right? To help ease the pain, and get some customers in the door, a few restaurants are offering specials for Tax Day.  I’m listing them below to help you take advantage of the deals.  The McCormick & Schmick’s Happy Hour has always been a favorite of mine on Tax Day.  Remember to check in on Foursquare at restaurants you visit for additional deals.

• Cinnabon – Receive 2 FREE Cupcake Bites between 6PM – 8PM
• Boston Market is offering a “We love the IRS” (Incredible Ribs Special) promotion with 1,040 $15 gift cards for randomly selected customers who enter from April 8 – 30.
