Save money, live better, free cupcakes.

On Sunday, March 12, between noon and 4 p.m., Walmart is celebrating "everyone's birthdays, regardless of the day of year," with one free chocolate or vanilla cupcake per customer, according to [Delish.com](http://www.delish.com/food-news/a51852/how-to-get-free-cupcakes-at-walmart/).

The cupcakes are topped with white buttercream or whipped icing, and they feature the same recipe used in birthday cakes sold at Walmart. The company expects to give out [3 million treats](https://www.popsugar.com/food/How-Get-Free-Cupcake-Walmart-43278593) nationwide on Sunday, exclusively at its Supercenter locations. It's the first time Walmart has ever done a cupcake giveaway on this scale.

"Birthdays are a big deal," Walmart said in a statement. "Everyone has one, and Walmart is the destination for everything you need to put together the best birthday ever."

Dozens of restaurants and retailers offer special [freebies for customers celebrating birthdays](https://money.com/birthday-freebies-free-food/), but Walmart's giveaway on Sunday is available to all customers, regardless of when their birthdays are.

Despite broader declines in retail, Walmart recently [posted strong quarterly revenue](http://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/21/wal-mart-earnings-130-eps-vs-vs-129-estimate.html) from its U.S. businesses, boosted partly by the continued [strength of grocery sales](https://money.com/walmart-target-price-cuts-compete-amazon/). Over the past 12 months its share price has improved 2.7%.
