When:  Saturday, April 28th
Where:  Participating Chick-fil-A Locations

So, what’s a date night at Chick-fil-A?  Basically it’s just dinner at Chick-fil-A, but more importantly it’s a special night set aside for a special relationship.  And I love that Chick-fil-A encourages this!

Chick-fil-A: Kid’s Meal Giveaway

Update:  This giveaway is now closed.  Congrats to Becca F.  And thanks everyone for entering!

Chick-fil-A Giveaway …

The new Chick-fil-A kid meals have been out for a little while now.  Has anyone tried the grilled nuggets?  Or maybe more importantly have your kids?  I think it’s a great option – one more nutritious choice to have!  Will I always make that choice … no, not always.  Gosh there’s just something about that fried nugget that Chick-fil-A has perfected so well it’s hard to pass up!!

But the cool thing is that with the gorgeous weather we have, it’s the perfect time & opportunity to pair up a healthier fast food kid’s meal with some good family fun!  Spring is a perfect time to promote an active lifestyle and the great outdoors is the perfect place to enjoy some family games!

Chick-fil-A wants to know what are some of your favorite – even old school games – to enjoy as a family? And as an incentive to share, I’ve got three kid’s meal certificates to give away (which if you haven’t heard yet, this is good timing because sadly, both Forsyth County locations have ended their Kid’s Eat Free Tuesday Nights).

THREE Kid’s Meal Certificates to one lucky winner!

Chick-fil-A Calendar Giveaway

Update:  This giveaway is now closed.  The winner, Joyce, was selected via Random.Org and notified via email.  Thank you all for entering.

Stop and Take a Few Moments …

If you’re like me, you LOVE getting the new Chick-fil-A Calendar each year!  Not only are they usually pretty nice looking and a good, quality size, but most importantly they have awesome coupons inside!  But the one thing better than buying one, is winning one!  And I’m excited to have a new 2012 Calendar to give to one of you.

The other thing I love about Chick-fil-A (besides their chicken, the wonderful milk shakes, their lemonade, and the fact that they have Dt. Dr Pepper as a drink option) is the prize in the Kid’s Meal.  My kids love the books that they usually offer – they are perfect for car entertainment.  One of my family’s recent favorites was the Veggie Tales CDs – we all loved those!  And I have a feeling my kids will really like the next thing coming out too – cow watches!

The Cow Watches are coming to Chick-fil-A Kid’s Meals! During the holidays Chick-fil-A Kid’s Meals are featuring the never before seen Cow Watches to reach families with a simple and fun message: In your busy holiday season make sure to stop and take a few moments together as a family to spend quality “time” with one another.

So, in honor of the watch & for bragging rights of winning the 2012 Calendar, let’s share in a little Holiday Fun!

To Enter:

Below, click the “right hand side of the watch” and “Take a Holiday Quiz” now.  It’s six very simple & short questions.  Then leave a comment on this post with the results of your quiz & you’ll be entered.  Update: You can just leave the answer w/ the highest percentage.  For instance, I was “friend of the frost”.  What about you?

That simple!  For fun, get your spouse or children to play too.

Disclosure (The Quick Version): Giveaway will close on Friday, 12/2 at 10:00am. One winner will be selected from all above entries via Random.Org. Winner will be notified via email.

free chick-fil-a breakfastFree Breakfast Entree from Chick-fil-A

It’s time to make your reservation!

From September 6 – 10, 2011, participating Chick-fil-A® restaurants are giving away a variety of FREE breakfast entrées to customers who make a reservation online. To make your reservation, visit this website beginning Monday, August 29, 2011 and choose your preferred Chick-fil-A restaurant, the date, time and breakfast entrée.

Both Cumming locations are participating … so make sure to snag one!

Update:  The site must be SUPER busy because it’s been up & down this morning.  But keep trying … a free breakfast is a free breakfast!

Free Breakfast from Chick-fil-a

Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit - YUM!

Free Chick-fil-A Breakfast Entree

From September 6 – 10, 2001, participating Chick-fil-A restaurants are giving away a variety of FREE breakfast entrees to customers who make a reservation online!

If a Chick-fil-A “reservation” is new to you – no worries!  It’s very easy – you just pick the location, time & date that you want your free entree.  They have done this in the past when introducing new items like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich & Spicy Biscuit.

To make your reservation, visit the “Chick-fil-A Free Breakfast Entree” website beginning Monday, August 29th and choose your preferred restaurant, date, time & entree!

Then bring your printed copy to the check out counter … and enjoy!  Not sure if the Forsyth County locations will be participating, but they usually do with these promotions, so here’s hoping.

We’ll make sure to send a reminder (because we want to remind ourselves too)!

Chick-fil-A Cow Appreciation Day

It’s that time of year again!  Cow Appreciation Day is here.

Visit Chick-fil-A on Friday, July 8th, fully dressed as a cow & you’ll receive a free combo meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner).

What does “fully dressed as a cow” really mean?  It means you muse show effort from head to toe!  Get the kids involved because they can earn a free Kid’s Meal as well.

Here are some ideas (from the Chick-fil-A Website):
  • Start with items that you already have at home – cow-printed accessories stashed in your closet will work perfectly. Hats, vests, scarves, neckties, pants, shoes, pajamas – just abut any cow-spotted item will work. Just make sure you’re covered head to toe.
  • Wear white, and then just add spots. Throw on a white T-shirt with white pants (even sweatpants) and stick on your spots using black contact paper. If contact paper is not easily accessible, you can cut spots out of construction paper and tape them to your shirt and pants. If nothing else, you can grab an old white T-shirt and color black spots all over it with a magic marker – and you’ll still get a free entrée.
  • Go to your local paint or hardware store and get a white painter’s hat and overalls. And then decorate yourself with spots made out of contact or construction paper.
  • Not feeling too creative and want an easy costume? Search the Internet for “cow costumes” and you will be flooded with full-body costumes available for purchase. (And hey, you’ll be set for Halloween, too).

Wanna see more pictures or get more information?  Visit the CFA website!  Enjoy!!!

(I know our local CFA gets very crowded on this day, and yes, people do dress up like cows!!!)

Free Spicy Chicken Biscuit

Are you a Chick-fil-A Spicy Chicken Fan?

If so, this is for you!

If you haven’t already heard, Chick-fil-A is preparing to introduce a Spicy Chicken Biscuit to jump start your breakfast.   It won’t be added to the menu until Monday, January 10th but they’re giving you the opportunity to try it one week early.  For FREE!!

Here’s the catch though, it’s “an exclusive premier tasting” so you must “reserve” your biscuit – how’s that for super fancy marketing?!

It’s easy though and I remember doing this when they introduced the Spicy Sandwich & there were no strings attached.  You reserve a biscuit & they’ll give you one for free!

Just visit the www.GetSpicyChicken.com website, enter your zip code, select the store you’d like to eat your FREE biscuit at and then select the day!

Reservations are available January 3rd – 8th and then the Spicy Chicken Biscuit will be available to anyone on January 10th.

But be sure to snag your reservation now.  Quantities are limited!
