7 Secrets For Finding Free Food and Fun at Chick-fil-A

Everyone seems to love Chick-fil-A. Between its delectable chicken and top-notch customer service, it doesn’t get much better in the world of fast-food. You can’t hear “my pleasure” and not immediately think of all the polite, attentive and helpful employees…and always-super-clean dining area. (Plus, who can’t get enough of its Chick-fil-A Sauce?)

However, for hungry bargain hunters, it’s a challenge to find any savings at the (very) popular chain restaurant. They rarely (if ever) offer any coupons, unlike just about every other fast-food joint. Plus, they don’t have a value menu nor do they offer any meal deals. And, finally, they stopped its super popular Cow Calendar in 2018, after 20 years of chuckles at cows in ridiculous poses and FREE food every month.

Sign Up for a Free Pizza from Pizzeria Locale

Pizzeria Locale, offspring of Boulder’s award-winning Frasca Food & Wine, will give you a buy-one get-one FREE coupon for one of its artisanal pizzas if you sign up for its email list to be notified of big events, promotions, the latest happenings and what it calls “the occasional tasty offer.” These contemporary pizzerias take their inspiration and their pizza style from Naples, the Italian city where pizza was born. The Boulder original is a table-service restaurant, but the format of the two Denver locations is fast-casual, and the pizzas are authentic and delicious. The Denver locations are 550 N. Broadway and 3484 W. 32nd St.

There are 21 shops in Colorado, with more opening soon.

Noodles & Company Cooks Up Customer Loyalty Program

There are oodles of rewards and benefits awaiting fans of Noodles & Company. The pasta-based, fast-casual restaurant just launched its first customer loyalty program — NoodlesREWARDS. Members get menu updates, special sneak peek access, member tastings invitations and sweepstakes opportunities. Plus, with each purchase, eat your way toward surprise rewards, including FREE menu items, Noodles swag and gift cards. (There is no set of tiers or levels, so it’s unclear how much you need to spend to earn rewards.) Of course, the reward program is via its app on a smartphone — click here. Don’t worry, if you don’t have a mobile device. You can still join and access your account online — just use your registered phone number, when you pay.(When you register, please use our referral code BryankCha827. We want to track how many MHOTC readers we refer to the program. How many do you think? 100? 500? 1,000? Thank you.)

It’s important to note that the new reward club does not replace its e-club. As a result, you’ll want to sign-up for both programs to get all of the offers and promos available. If you’re already an e-club member, you will still receive e-mail updates and offers, but you will need to register for the rewards club.

Parents: Review Our Updated “Kids Eat Free” Page

Dining out can be very expensive, especially with the whole family. That’s why frugal families stretch their dollars by eating at restaurants where kids eat FREE or at a discount. Recently, we spent hours (and hours) updating our “Kids Eat FREE” page for you, our dear readers. (You’re welcome!) You can review our updated Kids Eat FREE page here.

However, we still highly encourage you to check first, before loading up the kids — as offers often change. If you’re in doubt about any requirements or restrictions, ask first before ordering. Or, even better yet, call ahead. An unexpected large tab can be quite frustrating for parents, so don’t be shy about asking questions.

We’ve also included a list of the basic guidelines, so you’re better prepared to navigate the menu of offers. If you know of a KEF promo we missed, send us an e-mail at bryan@milehighonthecheap.com.
