Steven and Lina, the authors of GroceryAlerts, dropped me a line about an eBook they’ve penned. I rarely post this kind of thing on Bargainmoose, but they’ve done a lot of hard work and come up with a good resource for Canadians. The eBook details a lot of the freebies you can get on your birthday.

• Click here to get the free stuff eBook

These offers are the kind of thing you’ll see here on Bargainmoose tagged with birthday, but Steve and Lina have gone into a lot of detail, covering various categories and digging into deals for various provinces. Some of the nation-wide examples:

• Old Navy Canada – Free gift on your birthday
• Booster Juice Canada – Free 24oz smoothie on your birthday
• Marble Slab Canada – Free ice cream on your birthday
• The Body Shop Canada - Free $10 gift voucher on your birthday

Some of the restaurant and dining offer tend to be BOGO (buy one get one) or a free gift with purchase. But that’s all clearly explained in the eBook. A lot of them are totally free, like the 4 deals I mentioned above.

I recently posted about Everydaysource.com, sister site to Eforcity – 2 little US sites which are great if you are buying accessories like phone cases, cables, etc. If you sign up to the mailing list for Everydaysource.com, you can get an instant coupon code for a 10% discount towards your next purchase.

• Click here to sign up @ Everydaysource.com

The email with your 10% discount should come through to your inbox immediately. They send you a coupon code which you can use at checkout. When I signed up, I got the coupon code MESNSL0411 – it’s probably unique, but you’re welcome to try and use it to see if it works for you, to save you signing up.

I recently posted about their $0.99 deals, which are still ongoing until the 18^th of December 2011. You might spot a few things in there to throw in your cart as you make your purchase.

Thanks to Alanna on the deals forums! Alanna was spending $40 so she used her 10% discount to save $4. While obviously not a humungous discount, it’s still worth using if you’re placing an order there anyway.

Sign up for the My Starbucks Rewards, and you will get a coupon in the mail for a FREE beverage for your birthday.

• Click here for your free birthday beverage @ Starbucks Canada

All you have to do is buy at least one Starbucks beverage within 12 months of registering and they will send you a Starbucks postcard within a few days of your birthday.  Bring it in to any Starbucks Canada before the expiry date and get your FREE beverage. I can’t wait to sign up for this one to get a free drink!

Thank you to our Mooser MLBR in the Barginmoose Forum for letting us know about his deal. (Pic credit to tompagenet)

Did you know that when you sign up to the Simons.ca newsletter online, they will send you a free $10 coupon for a $75 spend? No? Well, now you do!

• Click here to sign up @ Simons.ca

When you sign up (there’s a link towards the bottom left of the above page), they will instantly send you an email confirmation. Click the link in that email to confirm, and you will be sent to Simons page and you’ll see the promo code. I am seeing the code 10SIMONS11N – so this could be a generic coupon, available for everyone to use.

It’s a shame that there is a $75 minimum spend, that’s a bit high. But if you shop there anyway, then $10 off $75 equates to a 13% discount. AT least you will get free shipping as you are spending more than  the $50 minimum.

I have a separate email account that I use to sign up for email newsletters for many Canadian stores. It gets maybe a 70 or 80 emails a day from all the stores. Sometimes, the email newsletters are pretty standard, but from time to time they can email you a mega coupon or deal. It’s worth it! I recommend you do the same – just make a new gmail account specifically for this, if you don’t have one already.

(Ends 18th December 2011)

If you sign up for the email newsletters at BoosterJuice.com, they will send you a coupon for a free birthday smoothie, when your birthday comes around.

• Click here to sign up at Booster Juice

When you click the above link, click on the orange circle called “nation.” In there, fill in the form with all your details, making sure to select your local Booster Juice store. Once you’ve done that, they will send you a confirmation email with a link to click.

I’d recommend adding your correct date of birth, don’t try and spoof it. Some stores would ask for ID when you’re redeeming a birthday coupon, as they don’t want people taking advantage of the freebies.

The free coupon can only be redeemed on the actual date of your birthday, at the store you name in the sign-up process.

There are loads of Canadian locations for Booster Juice – you can see them at the green circle with the world in it, titled “where.”

If you register for the Giant Tiger mailing list online, they will send you a free coupon for a $5 discount on a $15 spend in-store, for use on clothing and footwear.

• Click here to sign up to Giant Tiger

The coupon is a unique printable coupon, so I cannot share it in here. You’ll need to sign up at the above link. The email coupon came within minutes once I had signed up, when I first found this out a few weeks ago. The expiry date on mine stated that it was valid to the 1st of December 2010 , but that may vary depending on your sign-up date.

I had a quick browse through their flyer to see if there were any bargains to spend this on. They actually have some great bargains on kids clothes, which are ideal as the kids grow out of them so fast. For example, they were offering infant PJs for only $4.97, girls PJ pants for $7.97, boys micropolar robes for $12.97, and 4 pairs of girls socks for only $4.

Just a quick heads-up about Jergens Canada. If you sign up on their website, they will notify you about free coupons and samples.

• Click here to sign up @ Jergens Canada

The sign-up box is at the top right hand side of the Jergens Canada website, where it says:

Sign up here to be notified of free samples, coupons, and new product news from the Jergens Skincare Experts.

I’ve just signed up there now, so I have no idea what sort of things we will be getting. Hopefully there will be some nice Jergens freebies in the pipeline!

Any Jergens users in the Moosers?

Here’s a simple little deal in the Bargainmoose range of email discount offers. If you join the Jack Astor’s restaurant VIP club online, it signs you up to receive various deals and discounts by email.

• Click here to join the Jack Astors club online

When I joined the Jack Asters VIP club, within 24 hours I had received my first email. It contained a free printable coupon for a $10 discount on a $25 spend at one of their restaurants! That’s a pretty good discount, in my opinion! The printable coupon is tailored to me, with my personal details on it, so you will have to register above to claim one for yourself.

There’s an interesting little animation on the Jack Astors home page… (feed the hungryman) where you can feed him and see his reaction. You have to feed him the soap – it’s hilarious!

I’ve never eaten at Jacks, have you?

UPDATE 2nd June 2010: I have been a member of this club for a year now, and they have also sent me an anniversary offer. It’s for a free appetizer when you spend $25 or more on food items. If you regularly eat at Jack Astor’s, then this is a great club to join!

If you sign up for the Bed Bath and Beyond emails, they can email you free coupons from time to time.

• Click here to sign up for Bed Bath and Beyond coupons

Sign up for their e-newsletter and they will immediately send you a 20% printable coupon in your email. This place has everything to make any space in your home beautiful, they even have an “Off to University” section to make students dorms feel like home.  The coupon expiry date depends on when you sign up for the email.

P.S. Don’t forget to sign up to the daily email updates from Bargainmoose to get all the latest and greatest Canadian deals!

Get an instant 10% online discount promotional code by signing up for Home Depot’s Newsletter.

If you join the e-club online at Pizzadelight.com, they will send you a free gift (probably a coupon to redeem in-store) and a free gift on your birthday too.

I’ve just signed up, so I hope they also send juicy offers to my inbox from time to time.

The initial freebie was regular garlic cheese fingers with any meal purchase of $5.99 or more.The coupon lasted for a few weeks from signup.

The birthday freebie I received was a free combo from the birthday menu or lunch buffet, including a drink. This one was only valid on the day of the birthday.

These deals may change throughout the year.

Here’s another nice offer from Tony Romas Canada. If you join their online mailing list, they will send you a special birthday card…

• Click here to join the Tony Romas mailing list

• Click here for the store locator

The birthday card  includes a deal to get you free ribs on your birthday! I don’t know how many ribs you get or if it is only on your exact birthday. If you find out, could you please let me know in the comments below! Cheers moosers!

It says it takes 6-8 weeks to process, so I recommend you sign up well in advance of your actual birthday.

Yum! Free food!

If you sign up to the email newsletters on Jysk.ca, they will email you a free coupon!

• Click here to sign up on Jysk.ca

• Click here for the Jysk store locator

The coupon is for a $10 discount on a spend of $50 or more, either online or in-store.

If you couldn’t be bothered signing up, I think they redirect everyone to the same page anyway, so get your free coupons here:

• Click here for the Jysk coupons

• Online coupon code: 13EMAIL58

The free coupons expire on the 24^th of December 2009.

If you are buying some supplements online, you should consider Wheydepot.com, a Canadian sports nutrition company. Whey Depot offer new customers a 15% discount on their first order.

• Click here to get your Wheydepot coupon

I don’t usually post these kind of “supplements” deals, but I think they’re a very popular online purchase, and people may be googling for discounts, so I might as well help them out! Whey Depot sell all those mad products like muscle milk and weight gainer!

As it is for new customers only, you probably cannot get a coupon if you have bought from them before.

When I entered my details, it generated a 5 digit coupon code – 99991. I applied it to a test order and it worked well. Instantaneous discount!

Canadian shipping is free when you spend $99 or more.

There’s a special deal available, from Via Rail, in conjunction with Visa Canada. If you pay with your Visa card for your Via Rail trip, you can get an extra 10% discount off the cost of your travel.

• Click here to claim the 10% discount @ Via Rail

You must enter your email address on the above page, and they will then email you the 10% discount coupon. Simple as that!

I know that a 10% discount isn’t a very huge saving, but if you are booking a trip with Via Rail anyway, then you might as well take advantage of the offer.

This offer will end on the 31st of January 2010. Some T&Cs:

Offer not valid on “Economy – special fare”. Each e-coupon is valid for a one-way or round trip ticket for one person. Travel must take place before January 31, 2010 (inclusive), with the following blackout dates applicable: December 15, 2009 to January 5, 2010.
