Getting Older = Free Stuff

I'm going to take a brief break from wedding related topics to talk about one of my (and, I think, most other people's) favorite things: free stuff.

Seriously, coupons, deals and free stuff tickle me.

Once a year, I really bask in the glory of email deals... birthday deals that is.

By just signing up for companies' email lists (I realize its a pain to get that much junk e-mail, but that's what having multiple e-mail accounts is for) I got a ton of free or nearly free coupons.  Some of these may only be useful for people in Pittsburgh or the general region, but I wanted to share...

Baskin Robbins - Free scoop of ice cream

BD's Mongolian BBQ - A free stir fry

Big Burrito - This is one of my favorites and has been for years.  They mail a card worth up to $30 on a dinner, good at any of their restaurants (except Umi) on any day for two weeks (except Saturdays).  (This year, we're going to Casbah for the first time.  So excited!)

Bruegger's Bagels - A free bagel w/ cream cheese if you buy a beverage

Chili's - A free brownie sundae

Cold Stone Creamery - A free creation with purchase of a creation

Dairy Queen - A free mini, small or medium blizzard with purchase of a medium blizzard

Moe's - A free order of queso

Melting Pot - Chocolate covered strawberries when two entrees and a cheese fondue are ordered

Qdoba - One free entree with purchase of another entree

Rita's - A free regular ice

I'm sure there are ones I'm missing, but you get the idea.  So, the lesson is, if you really like a restaurant and you like free stuff, see if they have a mailing list you can sign up for.  Maybe you'll get a nice surprise for your birthday!

Are there any birthday related promotions that have really impressed you?  Are you crazy for coupons/deals/free stuff?  Or, is it just me?
