Chick-fil-A October Deal

Thanks, Lorri!

In the month of October, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4 to 8pm, the kids’ meals have a mini plush cow and a pack of crayons with a small picture to color in, extra in the bag. If they color in the picture and bring it to the register, they get a free Ice Dream ice cream treat. The meal usually comes with just a book or such, which you still get. The plush cow by itself costs $4.99. So it’s an extra special treat to get all that.

• (3) Free Baked Pie or Child Size Soft Drink
• (3) Free Cookie or Child Size Soft Drink
• (3) Free Small Cone or Child Size Soft Drink
• (3) Free Small Order of Fries or a Free Bag of Apple Dippers

Coupons expire 12/31/07 and can be redeemed by children 12 and under.

NOTE: Chick-fil-A now has a Table Topper dispenser on the condiment island (beside the newspaper rack). And what is a Table Topper, you ask? It’s a thin, plastic place mat that sticks to the table, providing a sanitary eating surface for young kids. When my kids were small, I used to buy these in packs of 10 and carry them in my purse.
