How to get free stuff on your birthday: 65 offers you can’t miss

You're another year older (and hopefully wiser). Why not mask the pain of aging with free food or items from your favourite stores.

Everyone loves a freebie right? Here is our comprehensive list of everything you can take advantage of just for being born.

So, what's the catch? Well, you will have to sign up to a reward or member program (in advance) but for freebies every year I think it's worth the potential spam emails.

We've included all the sign-up links to make it easy for you, just click on the company name and you are on your way to freebies!
