Thursday is my birthday (I won’t say which one – only that I started counting backwards a few years ago) and I was trying to figure out what my husband might like to do for me when I stumbled upon a HUGE list of birthday freebies at Hey It’s Free.  Here’s a list of my faves (hint, hint honey):

Food & Restaurants

• Acapulco – You’ll get a 100% free entree plus a free Guacamole right when you sign up.
• Applebees – Free dessert. They also have a newsletter, but no word if it sends out a birthday coupon or not.
• Atlanta Bread Company – They have a VIP eClub that you can sign up for, gaining you a free cookie on your birthday.
• Auntie Anne’s Pretzels – They’ll send you monthly coupons all year long if you sign up for their newsletter, so it’s pretty safe to guess you’ll get a birthday treat.
• Baskin Robbins – Get a free ice cream treat if you sign up for their Birthday Club.
• Beef ‘O’ Brady’s – They’ll send you a coupon for a free appetizer.
• Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream – Become a Chunk Spelunker and you can get some free ice cream!
• Chicken of the Sea – Join their Mermaid Club and they’ll send you a free birthday gift. I’m just hoping it’s not a tuna-flavored cake or anything…
• Chili’s – Free dessert if you join their club.
