These deals, discounts and freebies are based on information passed along from companies and their representatives, as well as social media. While I've made every effort to make sure that they're accurate, I haven't been to each location or company, so I can't personally vouch for them. Remember, too, that many of these companies are franchises and may have different promotions or may not participate at all.
Also note that some companies may require a coupon or a "like" on Facebook or other social media site. If you are not sure, definitely err on the side of checking out websites or social media sites (I've included links where possible).
Finally, be sure to read the fine print. If you have questions about an offer, reach out to the company directly.
Wishing you a great Tax Day—and cheers to the end of the season!

McDonald's Sales Return to Growth, Pushed by Promotions
Crispy chicken and double cheeseburger meals enticed customers back to McDonald's this summer. The restaurant chain reported that global same-store sales rose 3.8 percent in the quarter ending June 30, compared with the same time last year. The primary driver was a 2.5 percent increase in the United States. In recent quarters, sales at McDonald's have stalled as various economic pressures, including continued high inflation and interest rates, curtailed spending among lower-income customers and some middle-income ones as well. But in its most recent quarter, McDonald's leaned into new promotions, hoping to win customers back. In April, it offered a meal deal tied to the release of a movie based on the popular Minecraft game. And in May, it brought back its popular McCrispy chicken strips. The chain has also extended its $5 meal deal, introduced last summer. Global revenue for the chain, which include fees from franchisees, increased 5 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier, to $6.8 billion. Profit rose 11 percent, to $2.2 billion. In May, executives warned of growing negative sentiment in some international markets toward America and American brands because of President Trump's policies, including tariffs. But McDonald's international business does not appear to have been affected. International sales generate nearly 60 percent of its revenues. Same-store sales for the segment with restaurants that the chain owns outside the United States, which includes Canada and much of Europe, grew 4 percent from a year earlier. In other international markets where outlets are run by franchises, including China, Japan and the Middle East, McDonald's reported a 5.6 percent rise from levels last year, led by Japan.
