Tax Day 2024 sees deals, discounts and freebies
Tax day isn’t fun.
Even if you’re getting a refund, you’re still sweating whether you’ve filled out your return correctly and redoing some of the math in your head. And if you’re not getting a refund, you’re doing some internal accounting about how to stretch this month’s income to account for that payment you just handed over to the state and/or federal government.
Good news: Several restaurants and other businesses will offer specials and giveaways to make the day a little less painful. Here are a few you might want to consider.
Free food and drink on Tax Day
7-Eleven
You won’t get a Slurpee for free at the chain, but you can fill up any size cup you’d like for just $1.99 on Bring Your Own Cup day. Expect to see lots of Stanley tumblers.

It’s technically not a Tax Day deal, but this is Free Sandwich Month at the chain, so members of the Rewards program can get a free sandwich deal loaded to their account (as they will every day this month).
