Whether "She" procrastinated and is just finishing up her taxes or filed and already spent her refund, tax time offers many freebies she should be aware of.Women like free stuff and smart business know it and play off of it. In what's become an annual rite of spring, marketers of products from fast food to office supplies are hoping her sentiments of relief, frustration and fear on Tax Day will encourage more spending via the freebies or deals they use to lure her in to buy something.
I compiled a list of all the freebie options I could find online. Many local business will offer benefits today as well, log on to your local newspaper and town website for those options. A record number of marketers also want her to spend Tax Day 2012 on their Facebook pages printing coupons for free stuff.
