Tax Day Deals...Be in the know!

Okay so today is tax day! And well #taxdaybites! I'm going to start something new...the hashtag comments. It's something myself and a friend of mine do all the time when texting each other. It's about time the hashtag or "#" comments get some attention on this here blog!

Back to my tax day bites special post. I discovered an article with a list of tax specials. So here are some that someone reading this might be able to quickly go cash in on.

McDonald's always has special deals today. However, it is up to each individual McD's to decide what their special will be. In the past they've featured buy one Big Mac get the second for a couple cents!

And an extra McDonald's deal all McDonald's in Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, and Vermont(odd group of states) are giving FREE small coffees away all day long today! Sorry Texas!

Schlotzsky's...not sure I like this deal too much but it is something for free. A free "original" sandwich with purchase of a 32 oz drink and bag of chips. That deal has my husband's name written all over it, he loves Schlotz! And he loves their "original" sandwich. Before I came along he had never tried any other sandwich there EVER!

Boston Market...a half chicken meal with 2 sides, cornbread, a drink, and a cookie for $10.40. Get it? 1040 is a tax form.  They are clever at Boston Market! That deal peaks my interest the most!

Chili's....#happyhour...$5.00 Presidente Margaritas.  Those are the grande margaritas that they are offering up for only 5 bucks. That's pretty good! #designateddriver

Tony Roma's (I'll include it for Zonies but those restaurants don't exist here)...a slice of red velvet cake for free! Print off coupon from their website to get the free slice of cake. Offer valid until end of April.

Arby's...Arby's Gyro's 2 for $6.00, that deal will be valid until the end of April too. Despite the length of time we won't cash on it, we never go there. Last time we came across Arby's I think we were out of state in New Mexico heading for AZ.

Bucca di Beppo....Oh man, I've been wanting to try this restaurant we have one near us now. They have 18% off the total bill valid for today. Must first print off coupon online at their web site.

Great American Cookie Company...home of the best snickerdoodles(just my humble opinion). FREE sugar cookie, limit one per customer of course!

Outback Steakhouse....They are doing 15% of the total bill excluding alcohol sales. Offer is however valid on take-out and dine-in! Honey, can we get Outback tonight? Just kidding!

Bonus...this is not a tax day bonus it is a student bonus, valid tomorrow on the 19th at Red Robin restaurants. The first 22 students of the day to show their valid student ID will receive a 22 cent Ramen Burger. Now come on Ramen burger has college student written all over it. Right? Raise your hand if you didn't practically live off of ramen noodles in college? They are cheap, store easily, and take minimal equipment to prepare. We stored them under our beds in college. Sad but true! However, I'm certain the new Ramen burger at Red Robin is likely 150% better than a cup of Ramen noodles.

But don't be too sad if you aren't a student, they are still offering a discount even to non-students. $2.22 off each Ramen burger purchased. Once again offer valid only tomorrow(19th)!!!


These are a collection of some of the biggest restaurant chains that have reported deals for today(tax day). There may very well be localized restaurants and other places offering deals today as well. I'd be willing to bet the local Ifratelli's Pizza here in Dallas is likely offering some type of deal. But that's just a guess! That is one surprising type of food not represented above...surely a large pizza chain is offering a tax day deal? I'll check around and add it if I can find one in the next few minutes.

Update: I took a spin around the internet, no such luck finding an advertised large pizza chain tax day deal. Doesn't necessarily mean that a few franchised locations can't have a deal. One still may exist!
