So much is different in 2020 — even Tax Day. The day income tax returns are due typically falls on April 15. It is usually a constant that Americans can rely on. However, this year, Tax Day has been postponed to July 15.
Whether you’re rushing to file, despite the extension, or you filed earlier this year, you deserve a treat. Luckily, some restaurants and stores are offering freebies and deals on July 15.
This year’s Tax Day freebies are less celebratory than in past years. And almost no restaurants or stores are promoting Tax Day deals overtly. But there are plenty of ways to reward yourself with a little treat or discount this Tax Day.
Here are the best deals and freebies for Tax Day 2020:
— 7-Eleven.
— BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse.
— Bloomingdale’s.
— The Cheesecake Factory.
— Cicis Pizza.
— DSW.
— Einstein Bros. Bagels.
— Huddle House.
— Elizabeth Arden.
— Grimaldi’s Coal Brick-Oven Pizza.
— Noodles & Company.
— Sonic.
— White Castle.
Note: All of the restaurant deals listed below are available for delivery, contactless curbside pickup or to-go orders.
