Free things

I just found out today that on your birthday you can get a free cake (a full one, not just a slice) from Lola’s cupcakes, food from Tortilla and a voucher from Hotel Chocolate if you sign up to their emails etc.

What other things can you get / do for free that I and everyone should know about? Currently broke on mat leave and need some freebies.

Subway will give you a free cookie on your birthday if you register with them. If you have a Chopstix near you and sign up for their app then they’ll give you a free small rice/noodle box with one topping. Costa will also give you a free cake on your Birthday if you sign up for their app.

I got a free box of chocolates from M&S with my Sparks card. I was also offered a free slice of cake from Costa but they all looked crap on the website and I've had felt obliged to spend £4 on one of their crap coffees, so not an especially good deal.

Oh and if you have Booths near you then if yoy sign up for a their storecard then you can get a free slice of cake from their cafe.

Morrisons do hot drink and a cake for £1 on Mondays with the more card and if signed up to baby club.

M & S do free cake before 11 on Tuesdays with Sparks card.

Boots give you 10% off with advantage card and if signed up to baby club.

I’m also on matt leave. If you also have older kids Morrisons and lots of other reaturants do kids eat free in holidays. (Morrisons is all the time though)

LittleMxPerfect · 26/10/2025 18:28

M & S is only if signed up to
Baby club too

I was going to say, I've never been offered free cake by M&S.

I think Octopus offer free coffee quite often - once a month maybe, if they're your energy supplier.

Ooh great, I know some these already actually but forgot about them so thanks for reminders. Also, Gails do free cake or something on your birthday too.

M&S gave me a full sponge cake this year (tbf it may have been a general gift but I got it on my birthday so 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Costa cake/baked good with the app.

Free Starbucks, any size if you’re a gold member.

Tortilla as someone else said. I also got a free main from Pizza Express and a few vouchers from other local restaurants (I sign up for every newsletter going)

Free bowling from the local bowling alley.

A free Krispy creme doughnut on the app.

My Lindt Rewards gives you a free box of chocolates if you hit the minimum spend (£10 in store, generous size box of chocolates!)

Hotel Chocolat gives you £5 - which you can redeem on purchases over £5.50? So you spend 50p.

if you can’t tell, I spend my birthday morning driving round and redeeming all of these and then feasting for a month 😂
