Tax Day Freebies, Discounts and Coupons for 2012!

I already told you about the FREE Curly Fries at Arby's on tax day, last week.   After you file your taxes by Tuesday, April 17 2012 (yes, two extra days!), take advantage of these freebies and deals to celebrate.....or maybe console yourself, lol. 

As with many freebies, it's a good idea to call ahead and make sure your location is participating.  For more details on each discount or freebie click the link provided.  Here are some of my favorites........


Arby's: Free curly fries on 4/17 by visiting their Facebook page to get a coupon and enter the sweepstakes to win $5,000 in tax relief.

Banana Republic: Coupon code "BRTAXBRAK" gets you 30% off your entire purchase all day on 4/17 (this code also gets you free shipping w/ purchase of $50+).

Chevy’s Fresh Mex: From 4/13 - 4/17, you can get two premium Herradura margaritas for $10.40. On 4/17, Chevy’s will pick up the tax on your order.
