Every year as October progresses, I get more and more excited about all the free treats I'll be receiving on my birthday in the beginning of November. It's something I've become very invested in - so much so that I make a list in my notes app every year with all of the offers and expiration dates to try and take advantage of all of them!
Interested in getting free treats on your birthday? I'm sharing all of my favorite places to get birthday freebies in Sioux Falls.
Many of these businesses require you to be signed up for their loyalty programs, so be sure to sign up right away so you don't miss your chance once your birthday rolls around.
Meals
Papa Woody's
- In 2023, Papa Woody's offered a $5 off coupon that expired 5 days after my birthday
- I can't actually find a way to sign up for their program, so I believe I got signed up via their point of sale system when I ate there. Make sure to sign up for rewards the next time you eat at Papa Woody's!
