"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."

"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 :)"

"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?"

"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?"

"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!"

"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!"
