Hey, hey! It’s my almost my birthday! And for me, there’s no better way to celebrate than by cashing in on all the birthday freebies/discounts that I get . . . just for being born! Seriously! I get so giddy just thinking about it!

My mom and I share our birth month and we love to get together every August and make the rounds, collecting our goodies! From free food to free make-up to discounts at some of my favorite stores. There’s so many places that offer so many great deals and all you have to do is sign up.

And this year, in honor of my 35 trips around the sun (and because I’m so generous), I’m sharing my 35 favorite places to receive birthday goodies. Let the birthday festivities begin!

      Be sure to sign up for their rewards program. They also say that if you spend $10 in a 12-month calendar period, you get a free piece of chocolate every month! I’m in trouble because there’s a Godiva literally 2 minutes from my house 😀

    Most of these require creating an online account. Then you will get an email or snail mail with a discount birthday coupon.
