A wonderful tradition that is continuing again this year is businesses giving stuff away today in honor of Tax Day.
The most talked about is probably Starbucks giving away a free coffee to anyone who brings in a travel mug, although it’s under the premise that you’re helping the Earth. I’ve already had my coffee for the morning, so maybe I’ll stop by in the afternoon if the lines aren’t too long.
I’ve also caught wind that Dairy Queen was giving away free blizzards from their Blizzardmobile outside the IRS building. It was only from 12-1 pm, but if you follow them on Twitter or Facebook, they’ll be taking their truck across the country giving away free ice cream (hmm… sounds familiar) in honor of the Blizzard’s 25th birthday.
Dunkin’ Donuts is also in on the act, giving away a free donut (with purchase of a coffee). I recommend buying a travel mug of coffee from DD, downing that and heading over to Starbucks for a refill.
There’s also rumors of Chick-Fil-A giving you a free repeat order if you purchase a meal today, but their website says it’s a store to store promotion, so there’s a good chance your local store isn’t in on it.
You can find more freebies just with a simple Google search, or maybe just ask wherever you’re at if they have any deals today, there’s a chance you could get something out of it.
