Free lunch at Wendy's... Yes Please!!! (plus a giveaway!)

Last week I had the fun opportunity to have lunch with some local bloggers at Wendy's to try their new Pick 2 Menu. We each got to bring 2 friends and all our kiddos- it made for a fun (and tasty) afternoon!
 (Thanks Ashley for the cheesy picture of me!)

  The pick 2 menu gives you the option to try 1 of 4 half salads and 1 of 7 side options all for just $4.99

Here's what I got:
I'm a salad-loving girl, but I must admit, I rarely order a salad from a fast-food restaurant simply because I can save money by ordering off the value menu. And whenever I do order a salad, not only do I end up wasting money, but I also waste food because the portion sizes on their $6 salads are way too big! 

Needless to say I am loving this idea of having a 1/2 salad with a choice of side. A a perfect-portioned salad with my favorite chocolate Frosty all for 5 bucks!!! Now we're talking!
My 2 friends tried the same salad, but each of them got a different side:
With so many yummy options, this is a menu for everyone.
(Except for people who don't like lettuce- then I guess this post isn't for you, sorry!)

The general buzz in the room was that the food was fantastic- I loved my salad and so did everyone else around me! The dressings were unique and super tasty- Poppy Seed, Creamy Jalapeno (which didn't sound good to me and I almost substituted it with ranch, but was mouth-watering yumminess and I am so glad I tried it!) The variety was great and satisfied us all! 


♦A Giveaway♦
I'm not just posting this info so you can all get hungry and be jealous of me for getting a free lunch- (that wouldn't be very kind!) There is something in this for you too! The nice people from Wendy's and The Motherhood who sponsored my lunch have also decided to buy lunch for one of my readers!

 ♦How to Enter♦
Simply leave me a comment on this post telling me what you would pick from the menu and I'll pick one of you to receive a $7 gift card from Wendy's! Here is the menu once more to choose your favorite combo:

I'll pick the winner and announce their name at the top of my blog this Monday, the 1st of November. The winner will have 'til Thursday to email me before I will choose another winner. Good luck, and happy eating!

Special thanks to Wendy's and The Motherhood who paid for the Blogger's lunch and will be compensating me for writing this post.
