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.

March 14th-18th is the Silver Dollar Circuit at the South Point Arena

Weeks

Well I haven't posted in more than a month, but I also haven't had any complaints about it. This coming Monday (Jan 23rd) Panda Express is having free single serving of Firecracker chicken, you most likely need to go to their website to get the coupon to print it, I got the coupon in my e-mail. http://www.pandaexpress.com/
Also if you sign up for PF Chang's Warrior club an e-mail ,most likely will be sent for a free order of lettuce wraps. I was already signed up for their Warrior club so received it automatically.

There are story times across the valley on various days, but not much else is happening for this weekend, but next weekend there will be a few events.
