Free Chick-fil-A!
July 11, 2008 at 5:10 pm | In Baby C, Events, Family, Frugality, Humour, Photos, S's Posts | 6 CommentsOur whole family loves Chick-fil-A, so we were very happy to hear about “Cow Appreciation Day.” Today, if you show up dressed like a cow, you get free food! A full costume will get you a combo, and if you wear only one cow accessory, you get a free entree.
So, this morning, we got to work cutting spots out of felt and construction paper and taping (or safety-pinning) them to our white clothes. Most of us also wore horns or ears attached to headbands and caps. Mom even sewed some felt onto a onesie for C. You can see some tips for costumes here.
When we got to our mall Chick-fil-A (we don’t have any free-standing ones near us), the employees looked a bit bewildered. 
But, they got their manager from the back and he knew what was going on. He said “Free meals for everyone!”, and the employees rang some “cow” bells. So we ended up receiving eleven combo meals; the register rang up $100. before the cashier started inputting the discount! Yes, we have some food left over. 
It was fun eating lunch in the mall dressed like cows, and pretending everything was normal. We didn’t see any bovine friends other than the ones in our group.
Here we are all decked out as cows – I’m sure you will enjoy the sight:

Haha! You guys look great. I wish I would have known about this earlier. Darn it. And they just put in a new chick-fil-a down the street. You guys look like you had fun. Good thing the manager knew what was going on.
