Free Chick-Fil-A meals for a year

I've known about this promotion for months, yet I always seem to find out about openings AFTER they've already opened! And I've missed out on two! Hopefully, you will have more luck.

Anyways, here's the scoop.

If you are one of the First 100 people at the grand opening morning of a Chick-Fil-A restaurant, you get a Chicken Sandwich, Waffle Fries, and a Drink each week, for a year (That's 52 meals)

There are some rules set in place, due to large crowds and the popularity of the event.

Check here for upcoming restaurant openings and dates.

P.S. If you live in Jacksonville, FL...there's one opening up this week :)

Good luck!

Denny's and Free Food Days!


At my last university, I discovered the trend that many huge corporations choose one day out of the year and give you free food. For broke college students and anyone working in today's economy, you can't beat that.

In the past, I've participated in Free Cone Day with Ben & Jerry's, Free Iced Coffee Day with Dunkin' Donuts, and Free Slurpee Day with 7-Eleven. Tropical Smoothie also celebrates National Flip-Flop Day (yes, there actually is one!) and gives free Strawberry-Banana Smoothies if you wear flip flops in :)

So, HOW do you find out about promotions?
-Follow the news
-Look for official press releases
-Look for television/print ads
-Check Food Corporations web sites frequently
-Join email lists
-Facebook--social media marketing is changing the world. I usually find out about 75%of these promotions through facebook groups. If you don't know if they are legit, call the local store or check the official web site of whatever company is claiming they are giving free food away.

DENNY'S----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This year, I found out about Free Grand Slam Breakfast Day (2/9/10 from 6am-2pm) at Denny's through my PR professor, and I'm sharing that news with all of you! Here's the link if you don't believe me:

Free Breakfast!

And while you're at it, sign up for their Rewards Club so you can receive ANOTHER free breakfast on your birthday. (If you haven't checked my blog post on e-clubs, scroll down a few posts!)

ALSO, according to their recent press release, the first 500,000 people who sign up for Denny's Rewards Club starting TODAY, will get a FREE burger & fries entree! Now go!
