I’d heard of a few of these, but I had no idea that so many merchants were offering specials for tax day. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing the love on Tax Day. Hope you’re getting a nice refund
Thanks so much for sharing. Call first if you plan to go to Maggie Moo’s. I’ve called two locations and still haven’t found a participating Maggie Moo’s. Will just have to take the boys for cinnabon instead=)
I had a crummy tax day and I never got a chance to try the hydro massage either. I chased all around to get my car fixed – turned out to be a bad battery and about 6 hours later and a bunch of cash my car is back in order again! WHOOOOOO!
Thanks for my free lunch at Taco del Mar!
