Filing taxes for the first time this year was… an experience. My dad walked me through it, just like my math homework in elementary school —this consisted of me crying, him impatiently over-explaining it, and both of us wishing it was over. Being so grown-up on paper was a bit jarring, stressful, and strange.
While I wait for my tax return to hit my checking account, I’m coping the only way I know how: cheap food. While these Tax Day food deals don’t solve everything, they make adulting a little more palatable.
Paris Baguette
Paris Baguette has your back if you’re in the mood for something sweet. Rewards members can snag a free pastry on Tax Day by purchasing any beverage. Whether grabbing a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon refresher, this deal is a great way to indulge in a sweet treat without spending an arm and a leg.
Smoothie King
Are you looking to fuel up with something healthy? Smoothie King has a sweet deal for rewards members. You can choose between $3 off a $15 purchase or $5 off a $20 purchase when you order through the app or website. It’s the perfect excuse to grab a smoothie (or two) and save a little extra while at it.
