Phewww! Tax Day 2018 is nearly a thing of the past. Hopefully your taxes are filed and squared away.
Remember Tax Day is Tuesday, April 17, which is later than usual. It was pushed back two days because of the weekend and because of Emancipation Day — a holiday celebrated in Washington, D.C.
Since no one likes dealing with the IRS, companies across the country are offering some freebies and deals to make Tax Day less harsh on your bank account. In some cases, you might even find a moment to relax.
Here are 17 ways to cash in and save:
1. Bruegger’s Bagels
Buy a big bagel bundle for $10.40 at most Bruegger’s locations now through April 17 (get it? 1040?). The bundle includes 13 bagels and two tubs of cream cheese. Visit the Bruegger’s website to claim your deal
#LifeCouldBeEasierIf you could claim hunger as a write-off and accept refunds in Asiago.
Get your #taxes done, then come get a big bagel bundle for only $10.40 starting 4/11: https://t.co/sUSLFPEWlQ (📸: @foodninfo via IG) pic.twitter.com/7RUr1PL1gI
