So Full

In case you haven't heard (and there's still a few hours to take advantage of it), Chick-fil-A is having their "Keep Your Receipt" day today. Everyone who eats at Chick-fil-A today, and keeps the specially colored receipt that they're given, will be able to enjoy the exact same meal again, between tomorrow and February 28th, for free. That's right, I said FREE! If you eat there multiple times, you can get multiple future meals for free. Monica and I went the the Chick-fil-A that's next to the Home Depot she'll be working at soon and had lunch. Then after driving around the area a bit, letting Monica explore, we went to the Chick-fil-A by where I work and ate again. Needless to say, we're pretty stuffed at the moment! (Although we did bring our Chick-fil-A sandwiches home with us this time, and they're in the refrigerator for a snack later.) We paid separately, so now each of us has 2 free meals that we'll be able to enjoy for free sometime before the end of next month. That's awesome, especially given the lack of money these days!

The only "drawbacks" if you can call them that, are that you have to keep track of your receipt(s) until you go back for your free meal, and you have to go to the same Chick-fil-A that you got the receipt at in the first place (hence the trips to the different restaurants, one near each of our places of employment.)

Between meals we spent a little while at the local Barnes & Noble, perusing the books and making mental lists of what we'd like to get in the future when money's a bit more forthcoming (although I did spend the last of the cash I've been holding onto for a month or so on a book that's filled with Web design ideas and trends (I wanted some inspiration.)) Then we headed homeward, and Monica is currently chatting to a co-worker while I'm writing this post.

Anyway, be sure to stop by your local Chick-fil-A tonight if you get the chance, but be prepared for lots of people and a fair amount of standing around (both waiting for your food, and possibly for a table.) It's worth it though...buy a meal today, get it again free the next time you visit. What's not to like? :)

Have a good night all.
