3 On Your Side: Free Stuff & Deals For Tax Day
By Jim Donovan
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Have you completed your taxes yet? The deadline is midnight tonight. In this morning's 3 On Your Side consumer report, I took a look at several companies and restaurants that are offering tax day deals.
Today you can literally sing for your supper, or at least your lunch! From 12 p.m. until 2 p.m. this afternoon Hard Rock Cafe is offering a free "legendary" burger and fries at participating locations. But there's a catch. You have to channel your inner artist and sing a song on the cafe stage. That's why they're calling the promotion, sing for your supper.
In the mood for something sweet? Great American Cookies is offering one free regular original chocolate chip cookie today, just for the asking.
Meanwhile other restaurants are offering discounts or special tax day pricing.
Participating Boston Market locations are offering a tax day special while supplies last. A half chicken individual meal with two sides and cornbread, plus a regular fountain drink and a cookie, are being offered for for $10.40.
Buca di Beppo wants to give you a "tax break" with a coupon good for 18 percent off your purchase today. Here is a link to that coupon: http://offers.bucadibeppo.com/Coupons/273651/
Also, if while doing your taxes you realize that you've been keeping a lot of excess paperwork for no reason, you may want to swing by Staples. For today only Staples will allow you to shred 5 pounds of documents for free.
