Who doesn’t love freebies? That’s why I use my birthday month to take advantage of all the birthday freebies I can get. There are many companies that give gifts.
A lot of money can be saved when you visit stores and restaurants that give free stuff for your special day.
To give yourself the best chance at a $0 haul where you spend little or no money for your birthday, you should strategize ahead of time. In the months leading up to your birthday.
This can be done by getting on email lists of your favorite businesses.
It’s so easy to join an email list. Whenever I find a company I like, whether it is a restaurant, clothing store, or another business, I sign up for their mailing list.
TIP: Start a junk email account. Starting a dedicated email account for companies to email you deals is the best way to catch deals while not crowding your main email account.
So, to celebrate my b-day, I have compiled a list of the many brands that give birthday gifts. Be sure to check out my birthday video below to get more info and to see me in action getting free stuff.
*Unless noted, most of these places do not require an additional purchase in order to get your gifts.
