I love celebrating my birthday...and I love getting all the free things I can at local businesses. hahahahaha
The day before my birthday my friend got me my favorite Refresher from Dunkin. I love the strawberry Refresher. I get it with half the syrup and more green tea.
The night before my birthday I planned out my route! I went through the places I wanted to stop at and where they were located and I plugged them into my google directions and it mapped it out for me.
Happy 52 to me! Below is my mom's card, I love getting her cards each year.
I started out at Sure House, my favorite local place for tea. They have a great chai with lavender, or if I am feeling crazy I get the chocolate ganache which is aMAZing!!!
Today I did a dirty chai with lavender. It was really good too.
I then went to Denny's for my free Grand Slam breakfast. Very tasty!!
If you are gluten free like I am, just ask for a different side or more eggs and they will do that instead of the pancakes.
I went to Panera and got my free pastry and I have the free sips, so I got my first of two drinks for the day.
Then I went to Happy Trails, I love this Salvation Army shop near Fairlawn. They don't have clothing, but I often find tea related things. I got this adorable teapot for less than $10.
I then went to Blue, which is a great Goodwill store. Everything is new!! I was able to find some pants and a sweater there. This is in Fairlawn and is a cute little shop.
Right next to Blue is Noddle King. I have wanted to try this place out. It did not disappoint!!
I ordered the Dry noodles, which were noodles with sesame sauce, topped with chopped pork belly, green onions, cilantro and cucumber $7.95 and were excellent.
But my favorite was fried pork pancake appetizers!
Then I headed across the street for my free item at Starbucks. I ended up with egg bites as my free item and then used my points for a free Passion Iced Tea. I guess I figured I had not had enough tea yet, lol!
I then headed to Wadwsworth, since there was a Panera and a Dunkin there. I thought I had a free drink at Dunkin, but they stopped doing free birthday drinks. So, I used my free point and got a Matcha drink anyway, just to continue the trend.
Wadsworth had butterflies on some buildings around town, I found one of them.
I then headed to the Panera across the way and got another free tea with my Sips club coupon.
Yes, it was a lot of tea...and no, I did not drink it all in one day. I saved two of them for the next day at work.
Of my birthday treats my favorite teas are:
Sure House, Chai with lavender.
Panera has nice iced tea that isn't too sweet.
Starbucks, Passion iced tea, half the syrup.
Dunkin, Refresher, have the syrup.
Check out the free items near you on your birthday. I also got a Red Robbin burger, those are good for the entire month of your birthday. They do now make you spend $8 to get the free burger...
I really only eat red meat once a year and that is on my birthday at Red Robin. I do have to say it was a good burger. I like that you can get a "lettuce bun". And the endless fries are pretty amazing too.
And on another day I will go to Wooster and get my free tea at Caribou.
Thanks for the chai!!!!
