With Tax Day right around the corner, here's a list of freebies and discounts to help you ease the pain or celebrate a refund.
So far this year, there's free McDonald's coffee, free Cinnabon cinnamon rolls and free Arby's french fries, along with discounts from Bruegger's Bagels, Sonic and Boston Market.
Now through Sept. 22, you've got the chance to do a good deed and get a deal on Bruegger's bagels.
For a $3 donation, you'll receive a booklet with nine coupons valued at about $20, including two coupons for freebies with no purchase required.
Your $3 donation goes to Share Our Strength's anti-hunger campaign, "Dine Out For No Kid Hungry."
Here's a list of the coupons in the booklet:

Nearly 100 of you entered to win a Big Bagel Bundle I had up for grabs.
But, alas, I could only pick one winner:
This giveaway is now closed. Watch for the winner to be announced Saturday, Sept. 1.
It's giveaway time on Centsible Saver and this week I've got a coupon for a completely free "Big Bagel Bundle" from Bruegger's to send to a reader.
That means you'll be bringing home a dozen bagels and two tubs of cream cheese. All free.
All you have to do is leave me a comment or question below and you'll be entered to win.
While we're talking Bruegger's bagels, did you know you can score a guaranteed freebie by joining Bruegger's e-club? Newcomers who sign up get a coupon for a free bagel with cream cheese emailed to them.
My bagel bundle giveaway closes at noon Friday, Aug. 31. I'll choose one reader at random to win and I'll post the name on Saturday.
Please, please be sure your N&O registration is up to date with a current email address so I can contact you if you win. I've had a few winners lately whose emails bounced back as invalid so I had to pick new winners.
Good luck, everybody!
