Tiff's Deals - NOLA and National Savings: Party Like it's your Birthday

It's Tiff's Birthday ~ October 2017!

For my Birthday month, I compiled all my Birthday FREEBIES (see entire list here) - In fact this year I received near FIFTY FREEBIES from local restaurants and retail stores - ALL FOR FREE!!!

There are SOOOO Many more freebies listed on MY BIRTHDAY FREEBIES LIST - but these are all the ones that I actually redeemed this year!

Metairie ~ Veterans Blvd area

Godiva - FREE $10 gift reward (and a FREE monthly chocolate truffle too!)

Godiva has changed their freebie a little - in that you have to spend $10 at some point during the year in order to receive the monthly truffle freebie and your $10 - but you can spend it on ANY thing you want in the store. I found (2) boxes of pretzels and a chocolate bar and only paid $1 out of pocket!

*****************************************

Victoria's Secret - FREE $15 gift reward for VS Cardholders/BOGO FREE Panties for everyone else

I received the BOGO Free Pantie bday offer this year, so I saved $11.50

*****************************************

Aunt Annie's Pretzels - FREE pretzel (no purchase necessary)

********************************

PF Changs - FREE Appetizer or Dessert - no other purchase necessary!

I was able to dine in and also had a BOGO Free Entree coupon so had 2 entrees and an appetizer for the price of just 1 entree! So if you can combine with another deal available, even better!

*****************************************

Sephora - FREE Birthday gift

We just walked up to the register gave them our Sephora rewards account info and got to choose our BIRTHDAY freebie - no purchase required! There were TWO options to select from this year so pick your favorite!

HoneyBaked Ham - FREE sandwich

This freebie expired on my actual birthday so watch the date so you don't miss this one - and you must print it to redeem in store!

Nothing Bundt Cake - FREE mini bundt cake

You must have email and show your ID with birthday date in that month in order to redeem - but you just got yourself a FREE little birthday cake to celebrate with! (Glasses and birthday plate not included!)

Panera Bread - FREE Pastry

This freebie was valid until 2 months after my birthday so you have some extra time to redeem this one! I actually ordered this one online and picked up in the To Go Pick up area - no other purchase necessary so I grabbed it to go!

Dunkin Donuts - FREE Medium beverage (hot coffee, iced coffee, or chillata)

Medium iced coffee is a BIG coffee! This freebie was valid for 2 months after my birthday too so I had plenty of time to use it!

Bonefish Grill - FREE Bang Bang Shrimp

Valid for dine in only - I sat at the bar and ordered water so it was a FREE meal! Must print or show on the phone your actual coupon!

Elmwood area

DSW - FREE $5 gift reward

NO purchase necessary and you can purchase an item for $4.95 and up to redeem so browse the clearance section and the socks (reg price $4.95) and try to get a freebie!

*****************************************

Charming Charlies - FREE $10 gift reward

Valid for any in store purchase of $10 or more...so check out the clearance area and get a free (or super cheap) piece of jewelry or clothing!

*****************************************

AMC Theatres - FREE Large Popcorn and Large Drink (AMC Stubs Members)

I scored a large popcorn and drink simply for being an AMC Stubs Member - if you are a "free" AMC Stub card member, you may not receive the same items, but you still get something to celebrate your birthday!

*****************************************

La Madeleine - FREE Dessert

If you sign up for emails, you get a FREE Dessert emailed to you! If you download the La Mad app HERE you also get a FREE Dessert (and freebie offers in the future and a soup or salad with first purchase!)

*****************************************

Copeland's - FREE $20 or $40 birthday reward (with Lagniappe card membership only)

**NEW UPDATES** If you are a Lagniappe Club member (you can purchase card in the restaurant for $10) you get a $20 birthday reward - if you have used the card enough times during the year - they will give you a $40 birthday reward!

Now you can do order whatever you want - I could have ordered a salad and paid for the entire meal, but I chose the COPELAND FILET - that was near a $35 freebie and I still had $5 toward the rest of the meal to spend! Well worth purchasing the Lagniappe card!

*****************************************

Ulta - FREE Makeup

This one you must wait to redeem until you get the email with barcode from them - I usually don't get it until AFTER my birthday has passed, but don't forget to overlook this one! It is always a super fun MAKEUP item - totally FREE!

*****************************************

Chick-fil-A ~ CALENDAR CARD OFFER - FREE Cookie

If you don't have a calendar card - get one when they come out around Thanksgiving each year - cost is around $8 and you get a monthly FREEBIE and a birthday cookie offer too!

NOW you can even save your calendar card in the CFA phone app - so no need to keep track of the card anymore!
