Money Saving Tips
While getting gifts from your friends and family on your
birthday is pretty sweet, getting gifts from total strangers is
somehow even sweeter. This has been on my mind lately. See, I
turned 25 just a week ago, and my coworkers treated me to lunch at
California Pizza Kitchen to celebrate the occasion. I enjoyed my
pesto cream penne, and shortly after, the waiter brought me a big
plate of ice creamy, chocolaty nonsense, on the house. I got to
thinking about all the other things I could be getting for free on
my birthday. Thanks to Jacob H., another Savings.com team member, I
learned about all kinds of freebies offered to folks on their
birthdays. I feel this information deserves to be shared, hence the
impetus for writing this post. I'm going to tell you how to eat,
drink, and be entertained like a king or queen on your
birthday...for free. That's right. Food, drinks, entertainment, and
more, all for free.

Freebies
This week there are some food and household freebies available. You can grab a free burger at
Wendy's when you purchase a small fry and beverage. But, if you're getting a burger you're probably getting the other two items anyway.
Dominos is giving away tons of their new Artisans pizza on their Facebook page. For the health conscious, there's free yogurt. Coffee lovers aren't left out, they can grab a free Harvest Spice Coffee. The household freebies has a toilet tissue roll cover you can win daily from
Cottonelle. Benjamin Moore is offering a 2 ounce paint sample that is great if you need to do a little touch up to your walls.

Last week, Savings.com blogger Allegra clued us into KFC's misguided
attempt to do something nice: selling huge
sodas for a diabetes charity.
Needless to say, their move did not not create the desired reaction, and laughs were had by (nearly) all.
Well, it's another week, and the trend continues as various purveyors of
junk foods run afoul of the media. Read on to discover my personal
favorites.

How many of you go into a sushi restaurant and order a bunch of rolls thinking it's low in calories since it's supposedly good for you? Yes...I'll admit, I was one of those people until my friend mentioned that spicy tuna rolls are chock full of calories due to the large amounts of mayo contained inside the them. Now, I stick to sashimi and simple sushi.
Read on to see the breakdown of other "healthy" foods and the calories they are harboring.

When I read that Don Gorske was about to eat his
25,000th Big Mac burger on May 17, I almost fell off my chair. Then, I read that he had been eating at least two Big Macs a day since 1972! That's 39 years of eating 540 calorie burgers, minus the nine days that he took off. And, to top it off his doctor says his cholesterol is low and he's in good health!
So, how many calories and how much money did he spend in almost four decades that could have been put towards healthy food? I'll break it down for you.
