St Patricks Day

Next weekend is St Patrick's Day weekend, also my birthday weekend. Of course as many people know I enjoy scoring free items. Whether I win a prize or am a member of a rewards program or even just hear about something going on like National Pancake Day. So I'm going to share my thoughts on the places I go to celebrate my birthday. There are many birthday specials out there
http://www.glutenfreefrenzy.com/2010/01/free-gluten-free-birthday-stuff-with-e.html
Has a list of some places I wasn't aware of and some that we don't have here in Vegas. Most places you need to sign up for their e-mails or their e-club or their rewards club to get a birthday freebie. So if you have a restaurant you enjoy eating out at check their website and sign up for their e-mails and during your birthday month you could get a special treat, some places give you half birthday coupons and some on the anniversary of you becoming a member of their loyalty club. Most things through e-mail need to be printed, unless the e-mail says you can show your e-mail from your phone.
Arby's sent me a coupon for a free regular roast beef with the purchase of a small drink (or larger). Yes I had to buy something, but it wasn't as much as the burger and it's something I like. That was their gift to me for my anniversary of being part of their e-mail list. For my birthday from Arbys I get a free small shake with a purchase of something, not as great as the sandwich, but something.
Rubios' is another restaurant that I am part of their e-club Beach club and for my birthday I got a meal worth up to $7. With that I was able to get a taco plate and a drink.
Red Robin you get a free burger of your choice for your birthday. You need to be part of their Red Royalty club which includes a card, however if you've lost your card they can look you up using your phone number or e-mail. When you first get your card and register it you get a free appetizer (I believe) that you can get within 14 days of registering you card. You also get a free 10th burger if you purchase 9, your 10th is free.
Chevy's is a fun place to go to celebrate your birthday, they give you a Happy Birthday Sombrero and a free entree of your choice. I enjoyed my birthday there last year that I plan on going on my actual birthday this year.
IHOP gives you a free Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity (or something of equal value)
Denny's you get a free Grand Slam
Baskin Robbins you get a buy one get one free, they also do half birthdays
Ben & Jerry's gives you a free small scoop
Golden Spoon you get buy one get two free
Sweet Tomato you get a buy one get one free
Ruby Tuesday you get a free burger
PF Changs you get a free desert
I am also part of the Galleria Mall's e-club and I get a free $5 gift card to the mall. Along with all their postcards that usually have $10 gift card vouchers on them.
These are the places I have received e-mails from and I did sign up for.
