The Best Birthday Freebies

Many retailers and restaurants offer freebies, coupons, or discounts during (or near) your birthday month.  While these offers aren’t going to save you a bundle, it's always nice to get an extra treat on.  I have rounded up the best birthday freebies at some major restaurants and retailers, and put them in a handy chart.
