Did someone say FREE? 👀
If you’re reading this, it’s either your birthday (happy birthday!), or almost your birthday (happy almost birthday!), or you’re planning ahead to make next year’s celebration even sweeter. 🎂
Either way, Montreal has plenty of spots ready to treat you for free. So here’s everything you can get just for being born. 🎁
Aerie
If you sign up for their Real Rewards program, you’ll get a 5 dollar coupon sent straight to your email on your birthday. I’m thinking of using mine on a cute scrunchie (just under 5 dollars!) or putting it toward new underwear.
