If you’ve come to this page, you’re either celebrating your birthday today or planning on it. If it’s your birthday today, then first off, happy birthday. Getting the opportunity to blow out birthday candles year after year is a real treat in itself if you ask us, but getting a free coffee or cookie doesn’t hurt one bit.
Here is (almost) everything you can get for free on your birthday. If we missed a sweet deal, be sure to let us know. Bonus points if it’s from a local business.
