Bargain Quest

I turn 25 this week. I can finally rent cars without paying an underage driver fee!

My plan was to join even more retail and restaurant mailing lists before my birthday rolled around, to milk freebies for all they were worth. Yet somehow this week snuck up on me and I didn’t implement “Operation Birthday Freebie.” However, plenty of offers rolled in anyway from lists to which I had previously subscribed - mostly restaurants offering “buy 1 entree, get 1 free” or $5 off my bill. I’ve already used my free tire rotation from Tuffy and “$5 off $25 purchase” certificate from Goodwill.

Interested in food freebies for your birthday? Here’s a compiled list of offers from Hey It’s Free (also available on Slickdeals). Hey It’s Free is going on my blogroll, ’cause hey, it’s free stuff!

Edited to add: Around the Sun also just celebrated a birthday, and she shared a tip to check out onbirthday.com, where you can run a search for birthday deals in your state. Pretty neat!
