(At least) FREE dessert at Ruby Tuesday
Sign up for the "So Connected" e-mail program at http://www.rubytuesday.com/soconnected.asp and you get a free dessert and "a special offer" on your birthday.
(No, not that kind of special offer, Abby.)

If you're really looking to eat cheap, might I suggest considering mystery shopping? We had a discussion on this at one point, but basically, you eat, pay the check, evaluate the experience by filling out a report, and then they reimburse you for your check, up to a certain amount. 
Likewise, add to your list Red Robin. They give you a coupon when you join (I forget what it is) and a free burger on your birthday, along with a free sundae, if you ask nicely. Plus, you can list your family members' birthdays and get coupons for them without having to register different email addresses. http://apps.fishbowl.com/a/redrobin/join/join.asp

I'm not sure why it needs to go in a PM, so I'm posting info about how to find legit mystery shop jobs - I'm sure the mods will delete if necessary.
I have found my jobs through the Mystery Shopping Providers Association: http://www.mysteryshop.org/
You can do a search for the companies that operate in your area, and then you have to register with the companies individually. I had a job on Saturday last weekend where I had to check out a King Kong credit card booth at a movie theater. It took me about 15 minutes total (not including driving -but I took the job because I had to go to a store across the street anyway) and I will get paid $15.
