Hey Hampton Roads locals!

Just got an email from Brookdale Farm, the Pungo location is open for strawberry picking and the Chesapeake location will be open on Saturday or Sunday.  Check with your favorite farm to see if they’re open too.

Did I mention my FAVORITE fruit is a strawberry?

I’m going to try my hand a homemade jelly

Kids Meals 4 Free Card Review & Giveaway (Hampton Roads Locals) *CLOSED*

by Dana Zeliff on April 23, 20112011-04-23
in Giveaways, Hampton Roads Locals

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

*CLOSED*

As promised, I am giving away 3 Kids Meals 4 Free cards!

Eating out with kids can get expensive!   If you live in the Hampton Roads area of Virgina (or are planning a visit), purchase a Kids Meals 4 Free card and get 1 FREE kids meal with the purchase of an adult entree.   That’s a savings of about $6 per kids meal!

I was provided with Kids Meals 4 Free cards to try out with my 2 kids.  We have used the cards at Chili’s on Battlefield and at The Broken Egg Bistro.  Honestly, I was a bit nervous that I would have problems using the card.  Wait staff are not always up-to-date on promotions, so I was expecting to need manager approval.  NOT SO!  The servers at both restaurants did not even bat an eye when I showed them my cards.  They were pleasant, took my cards, scanned them (or whatever they do on their end) and returned them. We saved $11 just at Chili’s!

My husband is thrilled that we will be able to go out to eat more often since our “Eating Out” budget will stretch further when we don’t have to pay for the kids.  Our next planned meal is at Firehouse Subs.  I’m looking forward to another relaxing evening not having to cook!

Each Kids Meal 4 Free card is $19.95, but I have been given a special discount code just for my readers!

Use promo code couponchallenge at checkout to receive 35% off your entire order!  Hurry, offer ends soon!

You can use the cards as many times as you want every day, with no limit as to how often you can use them during the 90 day period they are valid. The value of the card all depends on how much you use them.  If you use the promo code and use the card only 2 times, it’s pays for itself.   If you dine out once a week, you can save up to $60 on kids meals for the 3 month use of the card!  That’s a huge savings!

More Info:
With over 70 restaurants to choose from (and more being added), we’re sure you will find something on our list to please your family’s appetite!   Our current cities include Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Newport News, Suffolk, Hampton Roads, and Williamsburg !

With a KidsMeals4Free card, you have the flexibility to eat where you want, when you want, without breaking the bank!  You don’t have to worry about going to restaurants on certain nights or at certain times for free kids’ meals.

*Cards are valid for 90 days after purchase
*Cards are valid at participating restaurants only

Win it: Three (3) Lucky winners will each receive one (1) Kids Meals 4 Free Card!

The Winners will be selected at random.  The winners will be contacted via email after the close of the giveaway. The winners will have 48 hours to respond to my email or a new winner will be selected. Entry for this giveaway will close on Sunday, May 8th at 8pm EST.

The mandatory entry method must be completed before any extra entry methods.   Make sure to leave a separate comment for each method of entry.
