Master List for Birthday Freebies and Deals including San Diego restaurants
Friends know me as the deal queen especially when it comes to food! I've compiled a master list of birthday freebies and offers including local San Diego businesses which I'll update approximately twice a year (once for my birthday, once for Dennis's birthday). Some offers improved this year. Souplantation now gives you a free meal instead of B1G1 with drink purchase. Some aren't as good as before such as Noodles & Co offering a rice krispie instead of an entree. Regardless, you do YOU and sign up for what you want to eat or whichever businesses you want to support.
By the way, the customized yogurt pic is from Menchie's Frozen Yogurt. I noticed the waffle iron in the store and had to add a waffle to my stackup! Yummy! You can also check out my previous birthday freebies roundup.
Birthday Table Guidance:
- Business - Name of the restaurant
- Available - Denotes whether this is a chain (nationwide or regional) or San Diego only
- Expires - Shows the number of days a promo is redeemable following your birthday.
- Promo - Items in the "Freebies" section are either completely free or enough discount for a free item (depending on choice). Items in the Deals section requires purchase.
- Notes - Extra info on how to redeem the freebie or deal, such as showing the email, printing out the offer, using your member phone number or email, or using an app.

Birthday Freebies
We all love freebies! These are the ones that I've signed up for this year. This section can be sorted by category by clicking on the header.
Disclaimer: All referral links or codes are clearly marked in the "Notes" column.
Note 1: Cafe 21 did not send me an offer in December but Mary received one in October. Last year I received the promo so the promotion may have recently changed.
Note 2: Jimmy's Famous American Tavern did not send me an offer in December but I received it last year. I noticed JFAT does not have a birthday field on the signup so the promotion may have recently changed.
Birthday Deals
Even though these require purchase, these are ones that I've either used in the past or are ones that I am interested in trying. I may add more from ibirthdayclub.com (San Diego only) but signup is tedious due to individual forms per business. We suggest picking restaurants that you really want to try.

DAYYYYUMMMMM. You, hands down, are master of these spreadsheets. I LOVE the spreadsheets this year as it's so easy to use (esp with the search button!). I will definitely have this post as one of my faves to use during birthday season. Thanks for taking the time to create this!
