It’s time for some sweet, sweet birthday freebies. I called for some new freebies on my personal Facebook, and a lot of people gave me some freebies they’ve gotten in the past, but nothing that’s 100% free that’s worth adding this year. I know there are a lot of “get X free when you buy Y for your birthday” and to me, unless it’s someplace I love, it’s not worth it.
I live in Southern CA, all of these freebies are specifically for those of us in that area. I recommend signing up for these freebies at least a month before your birthday, so there is enough time for you to be added to their list. I have included only the freebies that I have signed up for and personally received (mostly last year, because I am just starting to get them trickling in for 2022), so there is no bunk. I have removed companies that have gone out of business.
First up, for those of you in CA, OR, FL, MY, SC, AZ, WA, and NV, check out eBirthdayClub. There are TONS of great freebies on this site.

There are tons of other birthday freebie lists, but they may include offers that are not available here or may include stuff that I don’t consider worth it (like a free Rice Krispy treat when you buy an entree that’s $10+… That’s a hard pass from me, or the Aveda “freebie”- pay $10 and receive a product valued at $23+… No thanks).
Another deal that everyone and their mama go nuts about is Benihana Japanese Restaurant – a complimentary meal up to $30 when you purchase an Adult meal at Regular Price (You must sign up for The Chef’s Table club). This used to be a FREE meal, no strings attached, but it has changed to basically a BOGO. That’s a no go for me, but it may still get you excited.
I have not included Ulta in my list because you have to make a purchase the year previous (and it needs to be a certain amount- I’ve been told different amounts by various Ulta Employees anywhere from $5-$50), so for me, that’s not a freebie. If I have to buy something to receive something, that’s a BOGO deal.
It’s not really magic, but it gets your bathroom (and kitchen) clean without much elbow grease or fuss.
It’s Friday friends! We’ve got a busy weekend now that we are healthy, it’s time for freebies and fun!
A new year means new opportunities to find free food resources in San Diego County.
This week is starting off with a somber note. My dad is in the ICU and he’s stable, but pretty sick. So, dear readers, thoughts and prayers are requested! My meal plan for the week may not be as put together since I’ll be visiting him and my family as much as I can.
There are few things I love in life more than Tacos.
