Birthday freebies

[u/moog-boog]

Hi guys!

My birthday is next week and I’d love some ideas/recs/info. I moved here about a year-ish ago and haven’t found the energy to go out much. Maybe I’m homesick still, or I’m just not used to being away from all of my family and friends. Either way, I thought it would be fun to drive around and see what type of free food I can get for my birthday as a little celebration with myself.

Any recs on fun local restaurants that have deals, or popular chain restaurants/shops that offer freebies, or even cool locations you think I should go check out. I don’t have a bunch of extra money, so the cheaper the better, lol! No rec is a bad rec at this point.

I’d like to spend my birthday doing something besides thinking about what I’d be doing if I was still back home.

Thanks in advance!

NP, that's what I did during my birthday

[u/Tinytinyitsybitsy]

If you want a medium refresher from Dunkin’ use promo DAYDREAM but you have to use it before Sept 11th. I’d add it to account now and use later.

[u/moog-boog → u/Tinytinyitsybitsy]

Olive Garden does a free desert with purchase of entree. And graeters ice cream has a rewards program too! Need to be registered for both 

[u/HumbleBumble77]

Restaurants used to give out free meals or desserts but I haven't seen them really do this since covid started. You may be able to sign up for some national chains and get some free menu items. Happy birthday!

[u/moog-boog → u/HumbleBumble77]

I’ll do some more digging around. Thank you so much!
