What an excellent list. It is great to see some adult freebies on the list too! A free oil change? Definately going to take advantage of that one.
Thank you for such a comprehensive list.

My son just had a birthday and I registered online at Sonic’s website. He received a free kids meal for his birthday. At Blockbuster you register in the store and you can get a free rental, drink, a small bag of popcorn. Also Toys R Us sends a 3.00 gift card, plus you get a free Geoffry balloon.

Thank you for visiting the site & commenting, Lisa! Hope you can score some major freebies.
Sarah- Thank you for adding to the list. I would have never known about those freebies.
I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for this list, Amy! Too bad I have to wait eleven more months to use it! Wait…do they make you PROVE it’s your birthday???

Great question, Angie. I checked out a few sites and they said that you are rarely actually asked for your ID. But wouldn’t it be humbling if someone actually did ask? Yikes!
Now I have waaayyy too many lovely Christian ladies who visit my blog and site to answer the question of whether this would be right or wrong, so I leave that one up to you, my dear

Bob Evans gives free kids meals on birthdays, but you have to sign up and they send you a coupon.
Great list Amy!

Hi, Up the Creek seafood restaurant (if you have one in your area) offers a free entree (only excluding lobster) on your birthday, with i.d.
Our auto zone doesn’t offer oil changes?

Found another place to eat free on your birthday- Cold Stone Creamery. They now have a birthday club and you can register yourself (and up to five children) for the club. You receive one free creation on your birthday!! Enjoy!

Just saw last Saturday that El Chico has a birthday club where you get a free ice cream sundae or kids meal. Just fill out he postcard at the store and give it to the waiter.

I checked with Auto Zone and first they dont do any oil changes and will not provide the oil and filter either. Also when I contacted Bakers Square they informed me they where not aware of any such offer. What is the source of this information?
[Reply]
These freebies have been listed on various websites. Those offers may be made by individual restaurants. You will have to check in your area to see if your local restaurants/stores participate in offering these freebies.
Thanks for sharing your experience with our readers. Each person should check in their own area to see what is offered- I appreciate the feedback!

Moe’s also sends out an e-mail to print out for a free entree for use up to 2 weeks after your birthday.

Hi,
I do a birthday club for golden corral in waldorf maryland, you can register in the resturant, up to five people per card and then I send out a Birthday card for a free meal, they do not have it online as of yet, and not all resturants participate, best to ask when you go to eat, majority of them just announce your birthday. Thanks
Anyone in maryland who would like to register for a free birthday at the waldorf loacation can email me at beabedin66@aol.com
Thank you Eileen

Yikes, I’m new at this so forgive me if this is the wrong place to post.
I’m trying to find a printable coupon online for Chilis Restaurant by tomorrow. Is this an impossible task? Also, I don’t want to do one of those “$50 off coupons” where you have to give out so much personal info and jump through a gazillion hoops. I’m just hoping for a few bucks off or a bogo.
Any advice?

Today’s my birthday, and I was so excited to see the comment about Up The Creek. But when I called ours, they said they do a dessert “drink”, no free meal. Just wanted to add this to the list… If you’re heart is set on a freebie, call and check first!

Most carwash’s give a free carwash on your birthday.

Do you have to pay for a meal to get these free deaserts at the restaurants? This is an awesome list. I know in Portland Todai's restaurant, you can eat for free
