To get the deeper discounts, I did redeem some pharmacy rewards, but even without the rewards, this would have been a "steal" of a shopping trip!  Remember that the sales usually start again on Wednesday, so if you'd like to take advantage of these deals, you need to hurry on to Kroger by Tuesday, June 8!  It is possible that the prices will remain the same when the new ad starts Wednesday, but I wouldn't chance it!

Chick-fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwich


Last night, Rhett and I visited the Heights Corner Chick-fil-A to preview the new Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which makes its debut on the menu this coming Monday, June 7!  Rhett gave the "regular" Spicy Chicken Sandwich a try, while I opted for the "deluxe" version.  Both of us REALLY enjoyed our sandwiches and recommend that you give them a try!

What is just as exciting as the delicious new sandwiches we had an opportunity to "test," is the exceptional customer service we experienced while dining in the Heights Corner Chick-fil-A.  Bruce Slone, store operator, was on site to greet guests, serve meals, and even refill drinks while guests were eating.  One special touch Mr. Slone offered his guests last night was a complimentary side item and beverage to each person who had made reservations to try the new sandwich!  Further, the other Chick-fil-A employees who were working were kind, courteous, and highly efficient in doing their respective jobs.  Rhett and I thought this was "a notch above" type of service!  Although we already loved Chick-fil-A, our experience last night was by far the BEST Chick-fil-A experience we have ever had!

You should definitely make an effort to try the new Chick-fil-A sandwich next week when it makes its appearance on the menu!  To encourage you to go try it out, I'm giving away two coupons for free Spicy Chicken Sandwiches (redeemable at Heights Corner Chick-fil-A @ Hulen & I-30) to a lucky reader!  If you'd like to win these free sandwiches, you may enter the giveaway 3 ways:

  1. Leave a comment on this post stating whether or not you've tried the new Spicy Chicken Sandwich yet (and how wonderful it was if you have tried it)!
  2. "Follow" this blog using the "follow" tab on the left side of the homepage.  If you sign up to follow (or already follow!) you may leave an additional comment stating that you've "followed" the blog, and get an additional entry for winning the sandwiches!  
  3. Subscribe to my blog using the "e-mail subscription" box on the left side of the homepage.  If you subscribe to the blog via e-mail, you may leave an additional comment stating that you've "subscribed" to the blog, and get an additional entry for winning the sandwiches!  
*Limit of 3 entries per reader.  Winner will be selected randomly and contacted via e-mail (Please include your e-mail address with your comments!).  Contest ends Monday, June 7.  

Good luck winning the sandwiches, and be sure to visit the Heights Corner Chick-fil-A soon to experience their exceptional service for yourself!
