If you've been reading Debbie's Deals, you know I'm all about free meals.

One way to get free meals at your favorite restaurant is to sign-up for your favorite restaurants E-mail list.

Some restaurants send coupons often, some only send ads. The only way to find out is to sign up. You can always remove yourself later.

I recently signed up Ruby Tuesday's So Connected Club and within two weeks I got a coupon for a buy-one-get-one free meal.

At the same time I signed up for Outback Steakhouse E-mail list. I haven't heard a thing, no coupons, no advertisements, nothing.

Mimi's Cafe is offering a free breakfast if you sign up for its E-Club.

Sign up for Chili's E-mail club and they'll send you a welcome gift of free chips & queso the next time you visit.

Red Lobster's Web site says if you sign up for its club you'll get a birthday gift, an entry in a prize drawing and alerts about special events.

Like the Olive Garden? They have a newsletter, but it doesn't appear you get any freebies.

I'm a big fan of Red Robin's eclub. They send me a coupon for a free birthday hamburger every year.

As always, don't give your real birthday on any Web site. For security reasons, give a birthday that is a day and a year off.

Texas Roadhouse has a VIP club that says it will send you delicious gifts and other fun stuff.

Just google your favorite restaurant and look around the company's Web site to find their club. It may score you a free meal or a few free meals.

And it's not just restaurants, some of your favorite companies may also have similar deals. Check out this coupon for AMF bowling. Get up to 10 games for just 99 cents each.

If you see a deal, let me know! E-mail me Deb Stanley (Deb_Stanley@kmgh.com).
