Does anyone know of any other discounts or freebies for tax day?
Speaking of taxes, my state taxes of $158 was deposited to my savings account yesterday, so my Emergency Fund is sitting at $4,880. Cha-ching!

Banana Republic is offering 25% off all full priced items with code TAXBREAK25 4/15-18
Oooh that’s a good one! Thanks!
Interesting — my state cashed my $158 check yesterday.
Haha, that’s really funny. I wonder if we live in the same state and have the same salary. Hmmmmm!
