It's quite a hectic time for food freebies and special restaurant deals—and that's a very good thing for consumers! This week, which kicked off with Pi Day promotions and $3.14 pizzas, and then free Dairy Queen ice cream, continues on with a wide range of deals for St. Patrick's Day and the March Madness college basketball tournament. Here's where to score.

Bruegger's Bagels: On Wednesday and Thursday—March 16 and 17—Bruegger's is selling green bagels, and customers can download a coupon from the company website for $2 off a bagel bundle, which consists of 13 bagels and two tubs of cream cheese.

California Tortilla: With any purchases on St. Patrick's Day, customers get a free order of green tortilla chips and a "pot of liquid gold" queso for dipping.

Domino's: Now through March 20, place an order online with Domino's and all pizzas are priced at 50% off the normal menu rates.

Friendly's: Print out the linked coupon or simply show it to a server on a mobile device for 50% off mint ice cream sandwiches, Fribbles, and sundaes now through March 24, in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

IHOP: A short stack of pancakes costs just $1 all day on St. Patrick's Day.

Papa Murphy's: Order online and use the coupon code SAVE50 for 50% off take-and-bake pizzas, now through March 28. [UPDATE: Papa Murphy's says that this promotion is only available in a select few locations and asked us to remove it to avoid upsetting customers.]
