Savvy Sheffield woman uses Meadowhall to take advantage of TWELVE free birthday items including Greggs, Krispy Kreme and Boots

Julia, 24, spent three hours in Meadowhall Sheffield to walk around different businesses which offer birthday treats for signing up to their sites and promotions.

She told how many of the items can be collected for up to a month after your birthday.

"I just remember last year getting an email from the body shop saying I’d been given a £5 voucher to spend for my birthday and from then I’ve always known you can get freebies.

"So the week before my birthday this year I made sure to give a Google of ‘free stuff for your birthday’ and I found an article which told me which apps to sign up for.”

After signing up, Julia visited the following stores to collect her treats:

Greggs App- free sweet treat on your birthday

Krispy Kreme- free birthday donut

Boost- free smoothie

Bar Burrito- free burrito

Hotel chocolate- £5 voucher

The Body Shop- £5 voucher

Hobby Craft- £5 voucher

Lidl- free donut

Lindor- free box of chocolates

Subway- free cookie

Burger King- free Whopper

Auntie Anne’s- Free pretzel

Her savvy idea to use the shopping centre to quickly collect all the treats was praised on social media by her friends and family.
