Big Is The New Small | Free IsThe New Friday

Last week was the big kick off for the new Free Stuff Friday thing happening only over here at BigIsTheNewSmall.com.  I told you last week that I would pick a random name to win each week; since last week was the initial week and I was providing the Free Stuff, I decided to pick the person who came up with the name.  Drum Roll…The Winner of a Copy of “The Shack” or a signed copy of “it” is my man Kyle.  

Kyle came up with the name “Free Is The New Friday” which was the personal favorite for the readers and myself.  Kyle will receive a week add space on BigIsTheNewSmall and mad props for coming up with the name.  You can check out Kyle’s blog: a tentmakers journey by clicking here!  Go show him some BigIstheNewSmall comment luv.

Here is the “Free Is The New Friday” deal for this week.  We are giving away at-least $10 giftcard a $25 giftcard to a restaurant of your choice (the reason it’s at-least a $10 giftcard, It’s  a $25 giftcard because I’m allowing the sponsor to determine the amount).  All you have to do to enter is to post a comment sharing your favorite restaurant; you can even tell us why the restaurant is your favorite.

If you would like to sponsor this week and receive a week add on BigIsTheNewSmall and “Free Is The New Friday” bragging rights, all you need to do is be the first person to comment “I’ll sponsor this week!”  Your only obligation is at least a $10 gift card; and remember it’s much better to give than receive.  Steve has already agreed to sponsor!

I will do a video drawing next Friday and everyone who comments will have a chance to win.  One entry per person; however you can comment as much as you would like.  All entries must be commented by Sun. August 10th. Wed. August 13th at 11:59 p.m. central time.

Thanks for reading and remember “Free Is The New Friday!”

    Chili’s is one of my favorite, simply for the sake of consistency. I know I can’t win, I just wanted to get the ball rolling!

    My wife and I enjoy Charleston’s here in Tulsa. A $25 gift card would take care of the majority of the meal there. of course, if the winner of “Free Is The New Friday” is from elsewhere we can choose another favorite.

    Meant to include “I will sponsor this week”…

  • JUDY

    Ahhhhhhhh….Chili’s…if I am in OKC…Toby Kieth’s

  • Scott Williams

    Wow! We are kicking this baby off right! A $25 giftcard is up for grabs (See Steve Harrison’s Comments), share your fav. restaurant for a chance to win.

    We are big Rib Crib fans! It’s one of the rare restaurants in both our hometown and Lubbock!

    I’m honored and humbled to be chosen as the inaugural “Free is the New Friday” winner. Thanks Scott! Thanks to everyone who also supported my new name for Scott’s Friday blog post. I appreciate it. Good luck to everyone today!

    Just to let you all know, get ready for some tentmaker’s journey goodness…I’m fired up and ready to start pumping out some posts since my baby girl arrived. I’d appreciate any comments you all may have…it’s all about community!

    Oh, and Scott, I’ll gladly take the signed copy of “it” by the Craigster. Thanks again!

    Ohhhh, PF CHANG! And how timely that my favorite restaurant is a Chinese one??. . . Ties into the Olympics and all that which officially begin today. BTW, all you Free is the New Friday commenters, 8 is the luckiest number in Chinese culture so I suppose it’s a particularly good day to enter a drawing. :)

    I know, it’s fast-food (lol).

  • JUDY

    Is Chili’s too self-serving?

  • http://rollmentalcamera.blogspot.com Roger

    Melting pot here I come. Oh wait $25 won;t even get me in the door of that place. CiCi’s here I come and the family with me. More fun that way anyway.

    La Lucila – Typical Peruvian Food,
    10 persons can eat with $ 25 here in PERU

  • http://paravane.wordpress.com/ jimmy paravane

    Eating out. I don’t care where, especially if I’m not buying. (grin) I love Chinese buffets, but I’d have to give the nod to Denny’s. Not just because they have a good mushroom burger, but some of my best memories of getting together with aliens have been at Denny’s.

  • http://www.dustytakle.com Dusty

    Solshine, a salmon burger? Don’t think I could stomach that one. But I can stomach most everything else. Scott, I will sponsor SOMETHING. Just give me some time to decide just what. And, I know Judy. She looks for any chance to visit her boy in the city.

  • http://www.bananasandbees.blogspot.com Emily

    I’m a fan of County Line BBQ. It’s really good. And I’m a proud carnivore so I appreciate yummy brisket, ribs, etc. Also they have homemade bread that is delicious!

  • JUDY

    Heck, we need to move to Peru…what does a gallon of gas cost in Peru??? Yes Dusty, I feel a road trip coming on!

  • http://www.manymeadows.blogspot.com Robin Meadows

    Way to get those comments up there, Scott! Dirk and I love to eat at Pei Wei…BUT, we really enjoy giving our gift cards away….so ANYWHERE will be great!

  • http://new-wordpress-themes.net Susan

    Yum..food. My favorite restaurant is located in the San Diego Gas Lamp called Max. I love their crab cakes..and the atmosphere is awesome.

  • rachelle

    cafe 501 is the best!! oh, and did you get the pictures of wyatt? he was born at 12:19 and weighed 9lbs!! you and lakendria need to come see him!

  • http://whosreadsthisstuff.blogspot.com/ K Ford

    I’m gonna agree with Steve. Charleston’s is scrumptulescent. I worked there for 2 summers, mostly for the free food. Raspberry vinegarette dressing, honey-butter croissants, mmmm. I’m making myself hungry just thinking about it. =)

  • http://www.dustytakle.com Dusty

    K Ford, those honey-butter croissants from Charleston’s are delish. But, I must tell you that the fat and caloric content equal that of a Krispy Kreme doughnut. I needed counseling after I learned such.

  • Scott Williams

    Alonso- If its that cheap, then I’m moving to Peru :-) ! Well msybe not moving, but I would like to visit.
    Jimmy- The best Chinese Buffet is in Mustang!
    Dusty- You got next week!
    Emily- County line is one of the only restaurants left in OKC that has Beef ribs; since Tony roma’s left.
    Judy- I’m w/ you!
    Robin- Maybe you will win!
    Robin- Crab cakes eh’ OK!
    Rachelle- I have never eaten at 501; however I have had the Coyote Chicken sandwich at the Arts Festival. We need to come see Wyatt; I saw pictures and he’s huge he is ready to play football.
    KFord- Charleston’s crossaints are great, just to expensive… Cheddars has the same ones for $3 cheaper. Unfortunately we dont have a cheddars.
    Dusty- I can eat a whole basket… not to much of a Krispy Kreme fan anymore… we have them every weekend at church,

    My favorite restaurant is…Harry’s (Seafood Bar & Grill). I think that’s a national chain…if not, and it needs to be one, then I’ll go with Outback.

    I’m a big fan of freebies especially during today’s difficult economy. I’m just done with college and no luck landing a job yet. As I look around me, most of my friends are settling mediocre jobs or just doing part time gigs to make ends meet.

    Times are hard and freebies help every bit. ;)

    Here is my first share. I found this on Google and have signed up to a few of their freebies already. It’s a blog that is updated regularly with free things such as free gift cards, samples, etc.

    Enjoy!
