Did anyone camp out for the new Chick-Fil-A grand opening and get free Chick-Fil-A for a year? I decided not to go because we are moving this week and there is not a Chick-Fil-A in Connecticut! I want to know if you did go though!

Chick-Fil-A has possibly the best coupon policy in the entire world. You can use expired coupons there (those awesome calendar coupons) and you can use a coupon that states it is good for another location. Why? They are franchises and they would prefer to get your business at their location, so they will take any Chick-Fil-A coupons. Chick-Fil-A is really one of the only fast food places that my family visits on a regular basis (besides Sonic~ oh my four year old is going to be in shock when he finds that they don’t have Chick-Fil-A or Sonic in Connecticut! I may be in shock myself!)

I am giving away three coupons for a free Chicken Sandwich and since I am moving I am going to include some other random Chick-Fil-A coupons that I have compiled to these blessed winners as well. Leave a comment and you will be entered to win.

    I love Chick-fil-a! I’m not big on camping out though. Do you know if they also let you use competitor coupons, it’s probably just Chick-fil-a coups, but that would be nice if they did.

    I love Chick-fil-a. I have never camped out, but had lots of friends in the area do so when our Chick-fil-a came to town. It was quite an event since we live in the mountains and had no indoor play areas at any restaurant or elsewhere.

    I missed the calendar promotion as I was in the midst of moving– first across the ocean, and then from one state to another, before I finally found myself here in Texas! Your blog has really helped me to be more inclined to stick to my budget; I will miss your local posts when you move! Best of luck– and thank you for thinking of sharing your Chic Fila coupons! I broke down and got a chicken biscuit on my way to work last week (although, I was within my budget, thanks to the Alavert deal!)!

    We love Chick Fil A! At our store here you get a special discount on Mondays if you bring your church bulletin from the Sunday before. I’m not sure if that is a local policy or throughout the company but it would be worth checking into!

    04 May 08

    I have just started visiting your site and have gotten some great ideas. Will you still keep up your blog when you move? I hope so. Sorry about the lack of a Chick-Fil-A - I need some waffle fries,chicken, and shake at least once a month! Maybe you could open up a chain there - the neighbors would love you..okay maybe not practical - thanks for all of the wonderful info/deals you put out there, I truly appreciate it.

I’m not sure if you know this, but they are giving away free breakfast this week at that location. Mon/Tues-free chick-n-minis, Wed/Thurs-free breakfast burrito, Fri/Sat-free Chicken Biscuit. Just thought I’d let you know!

    Hi. Thanks! I’m certainly enjoying your site. My 21-year-old son has life-threatening seizures and played on the Special Olympics basketball team this year. They sold Chick-Fil-A calendars (with the Qs!) for a fundraiser. That was our first introduction to Chick-Fil-A. We’ve eaten there serveral times since, and the staff is way beyond friendly, accommodating, and patient with my son. He would love to be in the drawing for your Qs. (His name is Jedediah.)

    Good luck with your move. God bless.

    I think you should take your coupons to the chik-fil-a and buy lunches for some unsuspecting customers. I have never that happen to me…but have always wanted to give it a try. It seems like such a fun way to give some unsuspecting strangers a special “pick me up” to their otherwise routine day!

    wow. i dont know if you still have them. but i work in the mall right next door to a chic-fil-a. and im alwaysalwaysalways on the hunt for thier coupons because its saves me a bunch on money on my lunch break. so let me know if you still have them

  119. Kenny
    21 Sep 08

    I agree that the Chick-Fil-A calendar is the best deal in the known universe.

    For five bucks you get waaaay more than that in food. Not all of the coupons are great. One of them is for a free bottle of water if you buy a salad. There’s always four or five coupons that require no purchase. There’s always a free chicken sandwich, always a free chicken biscuit, always a free Coke.

    Most of the coupons requiring a qualifying purchase are good as well. Next month’s coupon is for a free four-count Chick-N-Strips if you buy iced tea — incredible!

    As pointed out above, the coupons never expire — I once used one that was five years old — and you can use as many as you want on a single visit.

    Here’s something else I just learned last night. When I placed my order at the drive-thru, I told them I had two coupons that were each good for a chicken salad sandwich. By mistake, they gave me two regular chicken sandwiches. When I pointed out the mistake, the clerk at the window said I could have either the sandwiches they already gave me, or I could have chicken salad sandwiches. When I told him I’d be fine with keeping the chicken sandwiches, he pointed out that you can always use your coupon for something less expensive. In other words, the chicken salad sandwiches are more than the famous Chick-Fil-A sandwich, but I prefer the latter and can use the coupons accordingly.

    One last thing:

    When the 2009 calendars come out next month, you will most likely have the option of paying five bucks or getting a calendar free with purchase of a $20 gift card. The gift card option is great because the gift cards do not expire. Last year I bought 30 gift cards and got 30 free calendars. That’s the best $600 investment I’ll ever make!

    Long live Chick-Fil-A (and the calendars)!
