Free birthday stuff

My birthday was over a month ago.  July 31st.  The same birthday as Harry Potter.  In case you might want to know that.  Anyway, this year, I decided to cash in on as many free birthday deals as I could find.  And I think I did pretty well with it.  But I’m hoping to do even better with it next year.  Because I can.  So why not?  Everyone loves free stuff.  And so I thought I would try and share the information with everyone so that you too can cash in on these great deals when your birthday comes around.

I posted on Facebook and Twitter about all the free birthday deals I got as I was getting them.  And people have been asking how I managed to get all those deals.  I’m pretty on top of stuff like that.  Some people ridicule me for it and think I’m just really cheap, while others are actually envious and want to follow suit.  This post is for those in the latter group.  But it could also be for those in the former as well.  Blogging about my free birthday deals is taking things a step even further, and if you enjoy ridiculing me, this will give you yet another reason to do so.  You’re welcome.

I remember when I told my aunt about the free birthday meals I got, she said “I could have just bought you a meal for your birthday.”  But that’s not the same thing.  I wanted it to be free not in the sense that I didn’t have to pay for it, but in the sense that no one had to pay for it.  That way you don’t feel like you owe anyone.  It’s just better that way.

I’m going to apologize now because I’ve been rambling on and still haven’t given you any of the information you need as to how to get free birthday stuff.  I’ve actually decided I’m going to break all the deals up into separate blog posts.  My original intent was to put them all in one, but that would take far too long for me to write and for you to read.  And no one wants that.  Halfway through you’d be like “Screw it, I’m just gonna go out and buy my own Red Robin burger.”  Plus this way, you’ll get to find out about a new deal everyday.  Or every other day.  Or however often I decide to post one, depending on how caught up I am with my blogging.

But for now, I’ll leave you with a list of places that offer free birthday deals that I was able to obtain this year.  The information as to how to get these deals will soon follow in the not too distant future.

Boulevard Casino

Sephora

Blenz

Pajo’s Fish and Chips

7-Eleven

Red Robin

Boston Pizza

Marble Slab

IHOP

For some reason I thought the list was longer.  But I think that’s it.  There are many more deals than the ones listed above, but those are the ones that I was able to use this year.  Here is a list of a few other places that offer free birthday deals but that I didn’t get the chance to use this year.

Starbucks

Denny’s

Milestones

Vera’s Burger Shack

Dairy Queen

Orange Julius

Booster Juice

Baskin Robbins

The Boathouse

The Keg

And this list goes on and on.  Also note, the deals I’ve mentioned are all for Vancouver, BC.  If you live elsewhere, you’ll have to do your own research.  Or if you’re too lazy, tell me where you live and I’ll research it for you.  Because everyone deserves free stuff on their birthday.
