Free Birthday Stuff & Meals
It used to be that some restaurants would offer a free meal on the day of your birthday.
These days, many organizations offer great freebies and discounts in celebration of your birthday that can be used before or after your actual birth date. Often times, you will have to sign up for an e-club, become a part of their rewards program or something of the like to take advantage of the free birthday stuff & meals below.
Keep in mind, some of the offers below are only for kids (denoted by “kids” to the right of the offer).
If you don’t typically spend a lot on your eating-out budget, birthday months are a great time to really make those dollars stretch!
