The Best Easter Weekend Deals and Freebies

There are plenty of deals and freebies to be had during the Easter weekend. Some retailers are aiming to attract last-minute chocolate egg shoppers; others are just using the holiday as an excuse for a sale. Regardless, here are some of the great buys you can get this weekend.

Bass Pro Shops holds free events every weekend, and FreeStuffTimes alerts us that this weekend is all about Easter. Go to the fishing supply store on Saturday or Sunday and your kids can participate in a free egg hunt, decorate their own bunny magnet, and get a free 4-by-6-inch photo with the Easter Bunny. The events will be happening at most locations, but check the website to make sure your own local shop isn't excluded.
