Money Saving Tip: Get Free Stuff on Your Birthday

Here's a tip that's a great money saver:

Get free stuff on your birthday!

Why's it such a great tip? Because no matter how much money you save on other ideas, FREE is always better. ;-)

I found this article from Smart Money that lists retailers who give away free stuff on a person's birthday. My favorites:

• The three ice cream-related ones are all good, though Moose Tracks is a better option. ;-)
• $5 off at Red Lobster -- It will go a long way there. They have great salads and rolls!!!!
• Free video from Hollywood Video (ask Blockbuster if they'll match the offer!)

Too bad it's only once a year when this stuff is free.

Back when Denny's used to give a free birthday meal to any old chump, I'd have 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 2 dinners on my birthday...which strangely coincided with the number of Denny's in the city I lived in at the time.

Now it's only for kids apparently, and then only if an adult purchases a meal.

Red Robin also offers a free burger on your birthday. Good burger, and the price can't be beat.

There's a website that shows a large number of businesses that give free stuff on your birthday -

Come October my husband and I will be doing quite a few.

A friend of mine with a February 29th birthday once tried to get the free rental at Hollywood Video on his birthday during a non-leap year. He went in on February 28th and they told him to come in the next day. He came in on March 1st, the next day, and they told him he should have come in the day before. I dare not say in public what he did to get even, but it was funny.

Craig -- I LOVE Red Robin!!!! The Towering Onion Rings are my fav!!!!!!!!

BTW, that comment above about Red Robin was from me -- for some reason my info didn't load the first time. :-(
