Your Birthday only comes once a year and you might as well take advantage of it. Many businness's have special deals or give out free items on your birthday. I just had my birthday and got a couple of items this year for free without having to pay a single cent.
If you are lucky enough you'll live by one of these malls that are part of the mybdayclub. The mybdayclub will give you a certificate on your birthday month that you can take for a ten dollar gift card at your chosen mall. There is no catch,but you must redeem the certificate that same month. It's a free ten dollar gift card so you would be a fool not to check it out.
Free package of Lofthouse cookies. :)
You can get a free package of Lofthouse cookies on your birthday. All you have to do is join Club Lofthouse cookies. You'll get a coupon in the mail a week or two before your birthday that you can take to pretty much any grocery or food store. (Walmart and Target usually carry Lofthouse cookies as well.) The coupon will cover the cost of cookies to up to $4.00. Lofthouse cookies hardly ever reach the $3.50 mark so you should be fine. Lofthouse cookies will also send you other coupons in the mail through out the year that you can also use.
Many restaurants will give you a free meal or dessert on your birthday so why not check out this list of restaurants and see if there is perhaps something for you.
Disney World and Disneyland give free admission on your birthday all you have to do is sign up and bring your ID as proof. (They might not do this anymore sadly.) Medieval Times also gives free admission as well. AMF bowling also offers a free gift on your birthday. Check out your local museums and zoos as well because many of them give free admission on your birthday.
