Birthday Freebies!

Well, it is December now, the month of my birth.  I have had the pleasure of checking my email these past few days and finding many birthday wishes.  No, they are not from friends and family, but from businesses.  Mostly restaurants.  Many restaurants have options on their websites to input your email address and birthday, perhaps also those of your family members.  They promise to email you special offers on your birthday and throughout the year.  This is some of what I found waiting this morning:

Those are all for absolutely free food from Red Robin (free gourmet burger), Denny's (free grand slam *must be used on my birthday), IHOP (free Rooty Tooty Fresh n Fruity or something of equal or lesser value), Weinerschnitzel (free corn dog).

I have also recently gotten offers from Chili's and Macaroni Grill for free desserts and from Auntie Anne's for BOGO pretzels.  

I do not recall what other places I registered with, so as it gets closer to my birthday, I expect to continue getting these wonderful emails.  Free food (that I don't have to shop for and cook) is honestly one of the best birthday gifts I can think of! =)

If you want to get offers like this, all you need to do is go to the websites of your favorite restaurants and see if they have a birthday program.  I have provided the links to the one's I have mentioned above, but there are many, many more out there. Often you will get an offer of some sort immediately after signing up, so if there is a place you are planning on dining at in the near future, check them out right away.  Try to sign up at least a month before your birthday.  Many places send out the offers early in the month, so you do not want to miss out.

What offers have you gotten for your birthday?
