I’ll take any excuse to celebrate, but birthdays are one of my favorite reasons for gathering with friends and family. However, too many celebrations can take a toll on your wallet. There are so many ways to commemorate your loved one’s special day without spending a fortune. A ton of restaurants and stores offer special deals and discounts to help you do just that… you just have to know where to look! Most places will send you something special on your big day simply by signing up for their mailing lists or by registering for their often-free membership cards (or something similar along those lines). I’ve compiled a list of some of the most common ones out there, many of which we already take advantage of. Check them out to see if any of them might interest you or someone else you know!
