Tax Day freebies: How to score free food today
Ah, April 15: a seemingly harmless day right in the middle of the spring. That is, until it dawns on you that today is tax day, and you have to give up much more of your income than you are comfortable with to the IRS. That's hardly the case for everyone, though. Depending on how you choose to claim, you might be owed a refund, setting the mood for a very different kind of tax day. Instead of the day you feel grumpy about taxes, for instance, it might be the day you go buy yourself a new laptop or TV. Don't miss the move: SIGN UP for TheStreet's FREE Daily newsletter Either way, one thing a lot of people don't know about tax day is that many restaurants and fast food chains give away free or discounted food. So if you need to cheer yourself up, check out our list and go claim some freebies. Your wallet may feel lighter than usual, but at least your belly will be full. Here are all the places you can go today to get a good deal. BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse: Whether you're planning to dine in or take out, you can get $10 off any $40 purchase at BJ's using the promo code 10OFF40. Buffalo Wild Wings: This deal is good not only today, but any day this month: spend $15 and get a free sandwich. You'll need to be a member of the company's rewards program to cash in, however. Burger King: BK's deal is ideal for the ultra frugal: spend a buck, and get a cheeseburger for a penny. As with Buffalo Wild Wings, you'll need to be a member of the BK loyalty program (Royal Perks) to get the deal. To find it, check out the offers tab in the BK app. Related: McDonald's is debuting a wild new sandwich The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf: Order any drink and get upgraded to the next size up for free.

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!
