Birthday Freebies

All birthday freebies require signing up to their respective mailing list with an email. The sister-in-law goes all crazy signing up for these lists and gets all sorts of free food around her birthday. They usually send you news on new items, promos, and coupons as well. I suggest just creating an email specifically to sign up so you don't get inundated with promo emails.

As to why companies would give your free stuff for your birthday, it's for a number of reasons, including: it builds good will (i.e. you might come back); if it's your birthday, you'll usually come with other guests; and you might order other items while you're there.

Please do keep in mind that you'll need to print out a coupon and they may check your ID. Most coupons are valid for a least a two week period around your birthday. Also, they can change the offers at any time.
