Fun and Frugal

I recently had a birthday and here’s all the following free coupons I got by email (except the Firehouse Subs, Starbucks, and Hallmark coupons came in the regular mail.) Sign up for their birthday clubs online so you can get freebies and discounts for your birthday, too! Some are for free items with no purchase required and the majority of them have expiration dates a week or two past your birthday, so you don’t have to try to use them all in one day or anything. Even if your birthday won’t be here for a while, go ahead and sign up for these clubs. Some of them will email you a thank-you offer (some for a free meal) just for signing up! If you know of a local birthday freebie I missed, please leave a comment or email me!

• Sonic Cruisers Club – choice of one printable e-coupons for a free medium drink, tator tots, or one other thing I forgot. I opted for the free drink.
• Firehouse Subs – I got a postcard in the mail for a free medium sub.  I just read on their website that they will no longer be mailing out birthday postcards, however, beginning 7-1-10, you get get a free medium sub on your birthday when you show your ID or birth certificate.  Sign up for the Firehouse Copy That e-newsletter (ages 13+) and they’ll send you a reminder a few days before your birthday to come in for your free birthday sub.  They have a short, funny video clip about their new way of doing the free birthday sub here.
