By Jennifer Hill - Macaroni KID Palo Alto-Redwood City-Woodside-Portola Valley September 27, 2021

Did you know that during the month of your birthday you can score lots of great freebies? You generally need to be signed up before your actual birthday month so you are in their system to get the email with the offer. So get signed up now! Hubby and I are both signed up with our birthdays and it makes for a fun month of possible goodies to enjoy. Another tip is to sign up with a special email address used for reward clubs so that you can easily find the regular deals they email you when you need them.
