My birthday!

My birthday was wonderful this year! It was on a Saturday AND it didn't snow, so I call that a success.

We woke up and went to Denny's for breakfast. I used my free grand slam coupon.
















Oh, here was my free stuff from last year

and this year...
















so fun!
I had to put it in order and plan out my days. Most coupons are good for a few weeks before and after my birthday. Post on that coming later...

We came home, took a nap then used some previous movie credits to go see "source code," which was pretty good.
Then we met up with Syd for dinner at Red Robin. I had a free burger and a gift card so our meal was free!

After dinner we took trax downtown to the Off Broadway Theater and went to the improv show "Laughing Stock." I've been watching old re-runs of "Whose Line is it Anyway" lately and was really in the mood for some laughs.

Then, of course we ended the night at Iceberg where I got my free birthday shake! I was a little disappointed with my shake choice though. I got peach and it tasted like vanilla with a few peach chunks along the way ;(
It was a great day and now I'm a quarter of a century old...

I'm impressed by your money savvy. Congrats on the birthday though. It looks like it was an exceptional one.

Glad you had a great birthday! I'm very impressed with your couponing skills. I watched "Extreme Couponing" on TLC and want to start doing it too. :)

That's awesome Ryan works for Hertz too! What does he do? Has he liked the company?

Holy huge icecreams! And, yes, I am jealous of your being able to eat such wonderful things! Hopefully I won't be nursing a sensative baby come next birthday...

Happy Birthday! And holy cow, all those freebies? That's insane! Awesome! How cool. I hope you enjoy all of it!!!

Happy Birthday! Looks like it was incredible!

Janelle, he's the midvale branch manager. He works far too much for the bad pay, but it's only temporary till he graduates next year. The company has some issues but most do, right? However, we do get nice perks like a free car and free gas ;) Jordon's position sounds way more prestigious, so he probably won't have to deal with the crappy stuff.

You should do a post on how to get all these cool birthday freebies! :) Happy Birthday!!

How do you get so much for your birthday? Those coupons sound pretty cool. I need to be better at couponing

Marcie, I just go to restaurant's websites I like and sign up for their email lists. They usually send out free dessert, appetizer, or meal coupons the week of your birthday.
