Happy Birthday! Yes, we all hear this on our own special day but how many of us really indulge because of the occasion? What if I told you that you could score all sorts of free stuff on your birthday just by signing up for mailing lists online?
Yes, you heard that right! You can celebrate your birthday in style without spending a dime. From food, to coupons to your favorite retailers, you get all kinds of fun things on your special day. So go ahead and enjoy yourself! After all, you deserve it. I’m going to list a few of the things you can get while out and about. Also be sure to check out the freebies on your birthday I have talked about in the past.
Food:
Most places will recognize your birthday if you tell them and some will want to see a form of ID. That’s ok unless you don’t like your driver’s license photo (Who does?). Some places give you free meals while others give you free desserts. Some Internet favorites include:
