Happy birthday IHOP
There are few things better than a stack of hot, fluffy pancakes dripping with butter and syrup.
On Tuesday, you can fill up as IHOP celebrates its 57th birthday with 57-cent short stacks of its famous flapjacks. Stop in at participating restaurants from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to get the cheap eats.
Now that I think about it, is possible that hot Krispy Kremes might be better than pancakes. I’ll call it a tie. On Friday, stop in at participating doughnut shops to celebrate the chain’s 78th birthday with a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for 78 cents with the purchase of one dozen of any variety. Pick a Birthday Cake Batter Doughnut, a cream-filled confection topped with confetti sprinkles.
No coupons are necessary for either offer.
Although I could easily discuss pancakes and doughnuts all day, I’ve got other important items to on my list, namely me. My birthday is coming up soon (for the record, I’m not turning 57 or 78), and birthday freebies and retail savings are flooding my inbox daily.
I’ll be happily cashing in on free gifts from my favorite brands and restaurants for the rest of this month.
Sign up for these offers and you’ll usually get a welcome freebie, plus gifts just for being born, too. Here are my favorite deals: Join Aveda.com’s Pure Privilege Rewards Program and get a free $20 Pure-Fume Spirit perfume, custom-blended just for you in stores. The brand mails a postcard with birthday wishes to alert you to the freebie.
