11 Tax Freebies and Deals of the Day Get free things with these tax day 2013 savings deals

Leah Ingram for Home Goes Strong writes For many Americans April 15 is the most stressful day of the year. Because even though that old adage says that the only things that are certain in life are death and taxes—and we Americans have to deal with taxes every year—still filing our annual income taxes brings with it angst.

What if I told you that for Tax Day 2013 you could treat yourself to free things or save money on a meal out? Well, you're in luck because like with years past, a handful of businesses are offering tax freebies and deals of the day.

Since some of these tax day 2013 savings deals start before Monday, April 15 gets here, I wanted to give you a heads up so you can plan accordingly. In most instances you'll save the most on meals—no dining in for you; yeah, you get a break from the kitchen. However, some of the other free things I'm highlighting have to do with your home office—and cleaning it up after working on your taxes—as well as a way to get a free massage.

Here now are 11 tax freebies and deals of the day for Tax Day 2013:

Free Food

• AMC Theaters: Enjoy a free small popcorn when you go to the movies April 12-15. You'll need to grab this coupon  from the AMC website and present it at the theater.
• Arby's: Stop in for a free value-sized curly fries or a small potato cakes—your choice. This tax freebie deal is available on April 15 only, no coupon needed.
• Cinnabon: Get two free Cinnabon bites on April 15, between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Since I think of Cinnabons as more of a breakfast items than a dinnertime snack, I wish this freebie of the day was offered at 6 a.m. instead!
• Great American Cookie: Finally, a dessert offer—get a free cookie on April 15 at participating Great American Cookie locations.
• Schlotzsky's: Stop by a participating Schlotzsky's on Monday, April 15 and get a free small The Original sandwich when you purchase a 32-ounce drink plus chips. TheSchlotzsky's Facebook page says you don't need a coupon for this freebie deal offer.

Food at a Discount

• Boston Market: Its tax day deal is called The Big Ribbate. Get it? A play on the word "rebate." Anyway, here's what you get—two rib meals for $10.40. This is available on April 15 only and doesn't seem to require any special coupon.
• Bruegger's Bagels: Restaurant News reports that "April 12 through Tax Day, April 15, guests pay just $10.40 (a "deduction" of nearly $3.50 per bundle) at participating locations for their choice of 13 fresh-baked bagels and two tubs of Bruegger's Bagels 100 percent made-in-Vermont cream cheese."
