Another way to save is by joining birthday clubs. Every year in May I get lots of freebies or in some cases my meal is free and my husband pays for his meal. Here are a few to try and join:
Benihana Free $30 gift certificate
California Pizza Kitchen free dessert
Del Taco grilled chicken tacos and a shake
Firehouse Subs free sub
Jack in the Box free dessert
Dennys get grand slam
Marie Calenders coupon to save $5 and free pie
Red Robin free meal when you buy one
I do visit Marie Calenders and Red Robin. Headed to sign up at Jack in the Box now. Hope some of you can sign up to save money.

Denny's can only be used on your birthday. Marie Calenders and Red Robin are good for several weeks, so are really easy to use them. Several of the others are new to me, so I'll know how long good for near the end of May. Thanks for posting.

you are right bjc....they are only good on the date. I don't bother with it. And yes, Marie Calendars is a resturant...pretty good place, but bit on the expensive side at least for me. I watch for their pie sales in the summer...$7 for a pie and they are great. They have frozen stuff in the grocerys but the only one that I buy that I think is better than other brands...is their Chicken Pot Pie. I love those and my little grand daughter loves them... I got her hooked on them to get her to eat peas...no one else could get her to eat peas, but I got her to love them in the pie and she called it "Nanny pot pies" (I am Nanny not,. grandma!)and then..."oh, look, these are Nanny Pot Pie peas..." and had them on the plate. She still loves peas and insists on nanny pot pie when she comes to visit! We used to split it and have a great meal!

My husband keeps telling me I'm getting older and I tell him wiser. I'm certainly not cooking for my birthday or the weekend before my birthday May 25th. Thanks for posting.

My husband signed up for several of the birthday clubs before me. He loves Red Robin and will be getting a free burger this weekend. His birthday was April 3rd, so you can see some places you don't have to use on your birthday. Thanks for posting.

That is some great deals there. I think I will sign up for the Red Robin deal. Out of the list it is the only one that is near me. I do have a Firehouse Subs but I am not really impressed by them. Thanks for all of the free meal ideas!

Red Robin is the one my husband and I use the most went today used my husband's birthday burger and his birthday was 4/3 and was good anytime in April. My birthday is May, so we will be visiting Red Robin again soon using my card. Every adult in the family can get a card. You can get free burgers by buying a certain number also. They occasionally have coupons, so sometimes we can save even more. One recent promotion you could get a coupon by buying certain items on certain days of the week. Thanks for posting.

I know people who do couponing and save lots of money with it, but I could never save more than a few dollars because I typically buy a lot of generic kinds of products and mostly you won't find coupons on those. But eating out can usually find online coupons for my favorite restaurants and for a big family like mine restaurant savings can really help.

yeah, that's a good way to get some savings every year. I for one, tho, don't bother doing that. I find so many coupons for BOGO's or freebies, I dont' bother to plan a year ahead! I also don't like giving out my actual birth date as I know that many of those places sell that kind of information and I try not to put my personal information out there due to hackers and scammers!

I do understand that many people don't want to give out their information because of hackers to web sites. Denny's all you have to do is show your drivers license and you get a free meal. I understand many don't want to plan meals in advance; however, I don't have a problem with it. Means no cooking that day and I like the time off of cooking. This time its a Monday and so I will eat free food all weekend and on Monday. Thanks for posting.

It is always great to be able to go out and achieve a nice savings. There are a few places that I am signed up with that email me with coupons for $ off or a BOGO and it is nice.
Enjoy the savings!

Thanks for posting. I like to be able to save money every time we have dinner out of the house. Its nice to see BOGO Coupons and coupons for places that don't have them often.

I never actually thought to join birthday clubs. When I was young, I know most of my classmates from well to do families are members so I always have this impression that it is only for the loaded people. Never did I even try to check it out. Now that you mention it here, it does sound so good.

I love Red Robin, as they have a membership card, so no printing out anything. The birthday club is just one of their perks, as we get several free meals there. The best part is the large portions, so there is enough food for 2 meals, so do end up saving a lot of money. Thanks for posting.
