(NEXSTAR/WPIX) – It might be time to pay Uncle Sam, but at least you can reward yourself when the process is over.
In an attempt to soften the blow of Tax Day, plenty of national restaurant chains are offering discounts and freebies on food and drink — and some are even extending their deals well beyond April 15.
Hungry for a budget-friendly bite? Check out the list below to find an offer near you.
Arby’s
It’s “Free Sandwich Month” at Arby’s, meaning customers can get a free sandwich, wrap or gyro when purchasing any other item at participating locations until the end of April. Customers must order online or via the app and have an active Arby’s Rewards account.
