Also, today is my birthday!!! I thought this would be a good opportunity to draw your attention to this post, and let you know what free stuff I plan on getting for my birthday!

The link has a pretty extensive list of places you can go to get free stuff on your birthday. In particular I plan on getting free ice cream from Dairy Queen and Cornerstone, a free burger from Red Robin, free BBQ from Famous Dave’s, and free Krispy Kreme donuts to share with my buddies. All in all, a ton of food, but I can stretch things over a few days as the coupons they send you for all this stuff don’t all need to be used on your birthday. Pretty sweet deal if I do say so myself!

Have you guys ever gotten a free food item at any of the places I’ve found? Do you have any others that I missed? Check out the list and let me know!

Please know that 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!
