For some individuals besides IRS employees, Tax Day is generally an absolute drag.

Plenty of Americans scramble to file by the April 15 deadline, and the sheer stress , all things considered, can be sufficient to make the entire month feel somewhat miserable. Fortunately, food chains across the nation feel filers’ pain and have great ways of helping patrons cope with those Tax Day woes.

From massive margaritas to sweet deals on southern food, here are nine Tax Day food deals and freebies.

APPLEBEE’S

The Dollarita, Applebee’s $1 deal on exemplary margaritas, is back this month. April’s rendition of the discounted drink is presented with strawberry Twizzlers straws that will place people in a perky state of mood — even after paying their taxes.

CICIS

Nothing says so long to Tax Day like unending pizza. Cicis’ unlimited buffet costs only $4.15 on April 15 (that’s 4/15) with the purchase of a large drink. Customers must present this coupon to redeem the deal.

FIREHOUSE SUBS

Clients who purchase a medium or vast sub, chips and a drink will get a second medium-sized sandwich for nothing at Firehouse Subs. The offer is valid from April 15 through April 17. Customers will need to present this exclusive coupon to redeem the offer.

Extraordinary AMERICAN COOKIES

Stop into any participating Great American Cookies area on Tax Day and walk away with a free chocolate chip cookie. The cookie shop, with nearly 300 stores nationwide, marks Tax Day with a free cookie giveaway every April.

HARDEE’S

Hardee’s will enable citizens to rise and sparkle with one free sausage biscuit on April 15 from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. at participating stores. Clients must say “made from scratch” in order to unlock the Tax Day freebie. There’s a limit of one biscuit per customer, so don’t plan on hosting a biscuit potluck later in the day.

HOOTERS

From April 12 through April 15, children (or “wards,” in case we’re talking charges) can eat free at Hooters with any $15 adult purchase. Bring on the curly fries and boneless wings!

KONA ICE

Kona Ice has renamed Tax Day as National “Chill Out Day” at its shops. Stop by the company’s island-enlivened trucks on April 15 for a free cup of tropical shaved ice. The shaved ice deal varies from truck to truck, but the company has over 600 franchise locations in 43 states. Visit the chain’s website for participating hours.

SCHLOTZSKY’S

Head on over to one of Schlotzsky’s 350 locations on Tax Day for a free, little unique sandwich (esteemed at $4.99) with the buy of chips and a medium drink, which will set you back about $3.75.

SMOOTHIE KING
Earn $2 off any 20-ounce smoothie at Smoothie King by using Smoothie King’s Healthy Rewards app. The offer will be available starting April 15 and remain valid through April 18, just long enough to carry you through the bitter end of the filing period.
