Birthdays! Birthdays! Birthdays! We all love celebrating our birthdays! Well, most of us do. It means turning another year older. But that also means a lot of companies give out freebies! And who doesn’t love free things? Well, I’ve compiled a list of some of the free things you can get on your birthday! And here are some of the best free things you can get on your birthday! Whether you love celebrating your birthday, or not! Whether you’re in Washington or all over the country, many companies give out freebies.

Everybody loves ice cream, right? Well, there’s plenty of ice cream freebies that you can get for your birthday.

  • At Ben & Jerry’s you can get a free scoop of ice cream, plus $3 off an ice cream cake. At Baskin Robbins, you can get a scoop of ice cream or soft serve, plus $3 off an ice cream cake.

There are many more freebies that aren’t ice cream too that are pretty good too. For example:

  • At BJ’s Restaurant, you get a free pizookie. What is a pizookie for those that are asking? It’s a pizza cookie, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
  • Also, at Black Angus Steak House, you can get a free steak dinner if you are a Prime Club member, with a birthday cookie cake & a “Happy Birthday” song.
  • California Pizza Kitchen is special, they also celebrate half-birthdays. When you are a part of their rewards program, you earn points, and depending on how many points you have, you can get up to a free dessert, to a free entrée on your birthday.
  • When you go to IHOP, you get a free meal, & who doesn’t love a free meal from the classic IHOP???         
  • Jamba Juice gives you a free smoothie when you sign up for their rewards program.
  • At Jersey Mikes, you get a regular sub sandwich and a 22oz. soda.
  • I think this one is the best. At Krispy Kreme, you get a doughnut and a small coffee or fountain drink.
  • At Pizza Hut, you get free cinnamon sticks if you are a member of their Hut Rewards program.
  • Qdoba will give you a BOGO coupon. Red Robin will give you a free gourmet burger and a “Happy Birthday” song.
  • At Starbucks, they will give you a free drink or treat, plus 15% off to spend at Starbucks.com
  • At Subway, you get a six-inch sub, with a drink.
  • At Wetzel’s Pretzels, you get a pretzel of your choice when you download the app.

See? Birthday freebies are great! Especially a lot of these I didn’t know about! Some are a pain, but all you have to do is sign up because they’re free! And again, who doesn’t love free things? Especially since it’s food? And who doesn’t love free food? I know I do! I’m a college student, and I’m not working.

So, take advantage of these freebies!
