Birthday Time is Near!!!

I love freebies and great deals, especially for my birthday and anniversary. And as my birthday is next week and the old wedding anniversary is in April, it is prime time for free stuff. Therefore, I am borrowing this post from another blogger. Sign up for freebie coupons, entertainment, ice cream, dinners, etc. By the way, if you go to the original site here, you can go directly to a good number of links. Enjoy!



Eat Free On Your Birthday
Tue 3 Oct 2006 — Posted by Goob

LAST UPDATE: 01-02-2008

I recently saw a site that had compiled a list of restaurants and other eateries that gave away free food on people’s birthdays. I thought it was such a good idea, that I decided to make such a list here on HIF to add to our resources. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy free stuff, especially around the time of year when you don’t like thinking about getting older? Well now you don’t have to focus on the added candle on your cake and instead can smile when you get a free meal or such! The original list I found hadn’t been updated in over two years, so I used it to start with, cleaned it up, and then added all the others I found on the net.

And remember, all deals are up to the specific restaurants and thus some might not participate. So if you’re standing in the middle of Taco Bell screaming for a free taco and they aren’t budging, don’t come crying to me! Also, feel free to add / refute any places you do / don’t see here!
