For a lot of people, Tax Day isn’t a happy day. Maybe you found out you owe a lot of money to the IRS; maybe you just spent way too long waiting in line at the post office. The good news is that several companies go out of their way to offer great deals and freebies on April 15 to ease the sting of dealing with the IRS. Here are a few:

Freebie Finding Mom flags a few junk-food freebies. Cinnabon is bringing back its popular “Tax Day Bites” promotion, where it offers two free Cinnabon Bites from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Meanwhile, Great American Cookies is offering free birthday cake cookies all day, dubbing them “Cookie Currency Tax Rebates.” And Arby’s is offering free value-size orders of curly fries or small potato cakes all day on April 15 — just print out this coupon.

Want to hit the movies after you finish your ordeal at the Post Office? AMC is offering a free small popcorn with this coupon Unlike many of these freebies, this one is actually valid for all of “tax weekend” — it can be used from April 12 through 15. You can print it out or present it on a smartphone.

BeFrugal.com passes along a freebies that’s truly relevant to Tax Day: Up to 5 pounds of free shredding at Office Depot with a coupon. The deal is good through April 16 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. (Just be careful not to shred any important documents, as you’ll need to have them handy in case you get audited.) Another helpful coupon from Office Depot lets you get a free black-and-white copy of your tax return, up to 25 pages; the coupon is good through May 1.

Welcome back to our weekly deal roundup, where I scour the internet for the best deals, sales and freebies you can get over the weekend. If you come across an excellent deal that you think everyone should see, feel free to get in touch — my email address is at the bottom of the article.

There are two major retailers offering discounts on iPads this week. Best Buy (BBY) is taking big discounts on its entire stock of the third-generation iPads; the 16 GB, wifi-only iPad can now be had for just $315; it was originally price at $500 when it came out last March. Keep in mind that this is not the most recent version of the iPad, as it was succeeded by the fourth-generation model less than a year after release. Also note that it’s not available for delivery — you have to pick it up at the store.

Meanwhile, Walmart (WMT)is discounting the 16 GB, wifi-only iPad Mini: Originally priced at $329, it can now be had for $299. Note that these sorts of discounts on older-generation Apple products tend to mean that we’re getting new versions soon, so don’t be surprised if we see new iPads in the next month or two.

RetailMeNot alerts us to a $10-off coupon for Domino’s Pizza (DPZ). It will be available on Friday only, and there’s a limit of 10,000 uses for the code, which must be used for an order on Dominos.com. Most notably, there’s no minimum purchase requirement, which means you’re in for some very cheap — possibly free! — pizza. Head over there and enter your email address to be notified as soon as the coupon code becomes available.

Finally, there are a few food freebies taking place over the weekend and early next week. FreebieFindingMom alerts us that Tuesday, April 9 is Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s locations; just stop by a participating location to get your free ice cream cone. Meanwhile, Pinkberry is promoting its new Greek-style offerings; show this Facebook post at Pinkberry on Friday or Saturday to get a free blueberry almond Greek yogurt, and stop by between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. every Wednesday this month to get any regular sized pinkberrygreek offering.

The Best Easter Weekend Deals and Freebies

Peeps on sale

There are plenty of deals and freebies to be had during the Easter weekend. Some retailers are aiming to attract last-minute chocolate egg shoppers; others are just using the holiday as an excuse for a sale. Regardless, here are some of the great buys you can get this weekend.

Bass Pro Shops holds free events every weekend, and FreeStuffTimes alerts us that this weekend is all about Easter. Go to the fishing supply store on Saturday or Sunday and your kids can participate in a free egg hunt, decorate their own bunny magnet, and get a free 4-by-6-inch photo with the Easter Bunny. The events will be happening at most locations, but check the website to make sure your own local shop isn’t excluded.

When you’re done finding eggs and taking pictures with a man in a giant rabbit suit, why not head to the Outback Steakhouse. Kids eat free on Easter Sunday when you purchase an adult entrée; the terms of the deal note that children 10 and under can get one entrée and drink from the “Joey Menu” for every adult entrée at the table. There’s a limit of four free meals per table.

If you’re like us, you go to the local drugstore for your Easter candy. Walgreens is offering 3 packages of marshmallow peeps for $2. You want to stock up on eggs for an egg-decorating party (or because you just happen to need eggs this weekend), you can get two-dozen store-brand eggs for $2. CVS is offering the same deal on Peeps — Peep price war! — as well as other deals on candy and stuffed rabbits.
