My birthday freebies 2011 :)

My birthday was last week-I had my driver's license, camera phone, and printed emails handy.

I know some of you may will laugh, but I want to share some ideas for fun & free things you can do/eat on your birthday (or celebrate with a friend or spouse). I shared most of this food with my family :)

*First things first, I got my FREE 50 swagbucks and 100 FREE disney movie rewards.

Denny's Grand Slam (birthday only)

Krispy Kreme-free dozen doughnuts (on your birthday only)

 

Joes Real BBQ in Gilbert, AZ up to $10 (birthday only). I was a first-timer and it was delicious, definitely going back on a non-birthday occasion.

Harkins popcorn (birthday only) I didn't even know about this until at the theatre when I asked if they did anything for birthdays-I had to ask ;)

P.S. We saw Narnia

Jack in the box-free desert, I chose cheesecake (birthday only-email)

Rubios-free meals up to $7 (birthday week-email)

 

So if you have a birthday coming up, Happy Birthday! Get something for FREE!

*Check out a few other FREE birthday ideas here and let me know if you have any other ideas.
