Birthday Freebies in Grand Rapids, Michigan

A recent birthday reminded me how fun birthdays can be but also how quickly they can become expensive. If you're anything like me, you always look to save a buck. So, here are my top birthday freebies in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

1. The Gilmore Collection

Sign up for the Gregslist Birthday Rewards to get a free entrée on your birthday with the purchase of another entrée. The Gilmore Collection is full of great restaurants. Last year, I went to the Bluewater Restaurant and it was fantastic.
**2022 Edit: This has changed to a $10 reward for signing up and another $10 for every 120 points earned. They no longer provide a free birthday meal.**
