KFC No Longer Accepting Coupon

Okay, I'm very glad that I already used my coupon for my free chicken dinner. I saw this coming and went early to get it. This is basically the same thing that happened with Quiznos. The corporate people think it's a great idea, the local people don't know about it, response was more than they expected and then they refuse to honor the coupon. We the consumers are left holding our very exciting coupon with nothing to show for it. I just wish they would have anticipated this, I did, I mean, you talk about this FREE meal on the Oprah show, let everyone print out 4 per computer and you think only 100 or 200 people will bother? It's frustrating. Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad so many people got to use their coupon and they don't have to give away free food, but it's just that I feel sometimes people don't think ideas fully through, and that bothers me.

Anyway, they are still allowing you to receive a free meal through a rain check. I think this is very nice of them. Here is what their site says:

We are so sorry, but due to the overwhelming response to our FREE Kentucky
Grilled Chicken™ meal coupon, we can no longer redeem the free coupon at this
time. But we will honor our commitment to giving you a free Kentucky Grilled
Chicken meal.
Please visit a participating KFC restaurant for a rain check
form. Complete the form, attach your original coupon , and give it to the KFC
restaurant manager or postmark per the form’s instructions, by May 19, 2009, and
we’ll send you a rain check for your free Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal at a
later date, plus a free Pepsi with our compliments. Your participating KFC
restaurant will provide you with the form you need.
Please note that the
redemption periods of the rain checks will vary. All other terms and conditions
of the original free Kentucky Grilled Chicken coupon will apply.

So, if you still have your coupons, go to your KFC and get your form to get your rain check for a FREE meal and a FREE Pepsi. Again, I think this is a great offer. They really didn't have to do this, they could have just said "We're not taking it anymore, sorry about your luck," instead of doing the rain check. I appreciate that they thought of us when they made this decision.

Happy Savings!

Saving Money with FREE KFC

Have you seen these coupons yet? Thanks to KFC and Oprah, you can print off this coupon and take it to a local KFC and get 2 pieces of their new Kentucky Grilled Chicken, 2 sides and a biscuit! That is awesome! It limits it to 1 per person, but it has been reported that you can print 4 per computer, so you can take the entire family! Guess what were having for dinner?

You can only print out these coupons through tomorrow, but they are good until the 19th, it does exclude the 10th, so don't try to use them on Mother's Day!

Edited to add:

If you are having problems getting you KFC coupons, Oprah.com recommends e-mailing KFC.PublicRelations@KFC.com and letting them know about it.

Teacher Appreciation Night at Ikea

I got a response back from Kitalena, who is in charge of PR for the Ikea West Chester store. She said that she is going to put out a press release tomorrow, so Saving Sherry readers are the first to know! Here's what Kitalena told me:

IKEA WEST CHESTER'S TEACHER APPRECIATION NIGHT

WHO: All teachers invited (even coworkers who are teachers)

WHAT: Teachers are invited to a night of free food and prize drawings and get to know our products that can help them in the classroom

WHEN: THURSDAY MAY 7, 6-8pm

WHERE: back of the Restaurant (aka "Teacher's Lounge")

This is an event exclusive to IKEA West Chester. We have some of the largest school districts in our area and a lot of teachers who deserve to be recognized for teaching all those students. So that's why we did this event in conjunction with National Teacher Appreciation Week. Teachers can come to our store and to the back of our restaurant we're dubbing the"Teacher's Lounge". There teachers can get some free food, register to win prizes that will be drawn every 15 minutes (until 8pm), and get a free gift.

Homeschooling teachers are included in this event. Some of the prizes to be given out include: gift cards, MALA easels, storage boxes, a TROFAST storage system and other suprises! This totally makes me jealous of all those teachers. . . hopefully they are still doing this when I go back to the classroom!

If I find anything else out I'll let you know! Check out my original post here.
