Free stuff is hard to resist, especially in this economy. Whether it's a drink, a dessert, a video or makeup, a freebie brings a smile - and may even help stretch your budget.

A number of restaurants and sweet shops run birthday clubs. Sign up on their Web sites and wait for the e-mail coupon around your big day and redeem it in person.

Other venues bestow the free birthday treat "on the honor system," without even asking you to prove it.

One thing is true: Whether you get a scoop, a brew or an appetizer, the price is right.
