10 Birthday Freebies!

This year I was really into finding the birthday freebies that companies give you. I was surprised at how many options there were! Most of them you have to have the app to redeem the gift. I was able to sign up a few days before and was still awarded the birthday freebies. I only looked at places nearby and ones I know I would like. Don't forget to see when the offers expire, each one were different for me and you don't want to miss it! It was kind of like a scavenger hunt! My husband even enjoyed going with me. 

1. Chick-Fil-A: I have had Chick-Fil-A's app for quite a while but had never redeemed the free treat for my birthday. This year I finally went and got it! You can get either a cookie or a brownie. I got the brownie to try since i've never gotten it before. You need to redeem the birthday gift on the app before you scan it at the register.  

2. Starbucks: I was so excited for Starbucks free gift! It was get any size drink of your choice for free. I went with a pumpkin steamer which tasted even better being free! You do need to redeem the birthday gift on the app before they scan it. 

3. Krispy Kreme: You get a free glazed donut at Krispy Kreme on their app for your birthday. We went late at night for ours and they ended up just giving us both our donuts for free. You also get a free donut when you sign up for their app.  

4. Café Rio: This is one I have redeemed a few years in a row now. Café Rio gives you a $5.00 reward on the app. I used it towards a tortilla soup which covered most of the cost from the birthday reward, but it can go towards anything from there. If you are looking for something totally free the desserts are under five bucks, so that is an option too! 

5. Kneaders: At Kneaders, any pastry of your choice is free for your birthday. This gift is redeemable on the app. I got a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie. They also give you $5.00 when you first sign up for the app. 

6. Corner Bakery Café:  Any pastry is free at Corner Bakery Cafe for your birthday. I got the chocolate bundt cake to try. I had never been to this cafe before but it seemed super cute! I will have to go back and try their food too! You give them your number to use the app rewards at the register. 

7. Dutch Bros: You get a free any size and any kind of drink on the app or you can show them your I.D. to get a drink on your birthday. This gift lasted a whole month from my actual birthday date. I let my husband redeem this one since I would of just got chocolate milk. He tried the Chai Tea blend and said it was pretty good! 

8. Huhots: I didn’t redeem this one this year but they did email me with a buy one entrée get one free coupon for my birthday. That is such a great deal! We really enjoy Huhots, we just don’t live close to a location that we like. 

9. Ulta: When you go into Ulta or online you get a free gift during your birthday month and 2x the points during the month. My husband got me my birthday gifts from there on his own, so we didn't end up going to get the birthday gift. It would of been an anti-aging serum that they gifted during September but it does change each month. 

10. Papa John's: I didn't redeem this one this year but in their app they gave me a free cookie for my birthday to redeem. I've never tried their cookies but they look good which makes me bummed I missed this one!
