It's always upsetting when Tax Day rolls around and you've got to sacrifice your hard-earned cash to The Man. Knowing this, some of our favorite stores and restaurants have been kind enough to offer a plethora of听free and super-cheap spoils听to make the day a little less painful.

You can pick up a free coffee, some dessert, shred some damning credit card bills, and even indulge in a massage on the day 鈥� all without parting with a single cent. Plus, you can bag some incredible discounts at restaurants nationwide, including Boston Market and Papa Murphy's.

And be sure to bookmark this page so you can check back often, as we'll be adding even more Tax Day freebies and deals as we come across them.

Valid:听From now until April 29

Deal:听It's bad enough that you need to dish out the dough and pay your dues when the day arrives, but spending additional dollars just getting your documents in order is downright frustrating (especially when you could be spending that dosh on something a little more glamorous). To save those precious pennies and rid yourself of that pile of paperwork after the ordeal, you can听shred 5-lbs. of documents for free听at your local Office Depot.

听听Valid:听From now until April 13 [EXPIRED]
Deal:听After a late night of number-crunching in the run-up to the big day, you'll likely need a jolt of caffeine to get you through the morning and keep you sane. McDonald's is luckily giving away a听small cup of McCaf茅 coffee for free听during breakfast hours. Plus, we hear that select outlets may even offer customers听complimentary refills. Please note, this deal expires before tax day itself.

听听Valid:听From 5 pm to 7 pm, April 15
Deal:听Whether you're lucky enough to have a rocking set of pipes on you or not, you can entertain fellow guests at select Hard Rock caf茅's for a听free dinner entr茅e when you "Sing for your Supper"听鈥� and thankfully, we see no mention of this freebie depending on your abilities. Now what could be better than dinner听and听a show?

听听Valid:听6 pm to 8 pm ET, April 15
Deal:听We've found that nothing eases our arithmetic-induced stresses quite like a little something sweet. That's why we're excited to head along to Cinnabon on the big day to bag听two free Cinnabon bites. They're small and cute enough to eat in one go, while you're en route to your next freebie.

听Valid:听From April 14 to April 15
Deal:听If the sample of sugar from Cinnabon doesn't quite quell the anxiety caused by the uphill battle against those tax forms, then perhaps a听gratuitous soak at HydroMassage听will do the trick. The traveling jet system employed by the HydroMassage bed offers a full body massage, which will hopefully help you leave your worries at the tax office. (It is strongly encouraged that you call ahead to schedule an appointment. Note that massages may be limited to a 10 minute-routine.)

听Valid:听April 15
Deal:听If pizza was as cheap as this all-year round, there would be little need for us to have access to a kitchen. Luckily for our health and dignity, it's not, and we're very happy to indulge in the offer since it's a once-off. You can bag-and-binge a听large pepperoni pizza for just $5听and forget about rustling up dinner for the day.

听Valid:听April 15
Deal:听No matter how full we are, we can never get enough sugar into our system, especially when we're feeling sorry for ourselves 鈥� and there are few other days in the year when we're feeling quite as self-pitying as Tax Returns Day. To keep your blood sugar and, more importantly, your mood at its peak, you can get another delicious treat with a听free chocolate chip cookie听from Great American Cookies.

听Valid:听April 15
Deal:听If you've been as frugal as yours truly in the last few months out of necessity, then dining out has become a rare luxury. On Tax Day however, you can eat out in style without breaking the bank and dig into听two half-chicken meals with two home-style sides and cornbread for just $10.40. That's a helluva feeding for such a low price (and we won't tell your date that you're a cheapskate, if you don't).
