Free Chipotle on Friday
Molly reminds everybody that on Halloween Chipotle gives a free burrito to anyone wearing tinfoil.
That’s quite a money-saver, especially for families.

My roommate and I are already planning our run, probably trying to hit more than one restaurant so we can freeze some for later.
i pretty much don’t like it when people get all corrective on you in the comment section, but you just called it tinfoil…and that’s where i draw the line. it’s ALUMINUM foil.
*sigh*
i feel better now.
awww….Orison is so cute!
Where’s the photo of your foil “costume”?
Thanks for the tip, Mr. Piper! As my wife is already getting those “with child” (wink, wink) cravings, this is definitely a money-saver!
@jennapants That’s only because we Americans are too lazy for an extra vowel; everywhere else it’s ALUMINIUM foil.
Hey, you started it.
Is Morrow wearing Tinfoil, too?
When our oldest daughter participated in the library’s summer reading program, I asked if our babies could also participate. The librarian said that as long as we read the books to them, they could earn the prizes. We read faithfully to them and we really enjoyed their free French fries:)
Given that the English started this language, (Well cobbled together a load of other European languages), I’m throwing my (vernacular?) vote in for tin foil.
mhmmm free food.
[...] how grieved I am that I will not be able to join in on the festivities, but I just found out here that my absolutely favorite Mexican restaurant on the planet, Chipotle, is giving free burritos to [...]
Sweet!
Sadly, there is not a Chipotle here in my part of Nebraska. And, even sadder, this reminds me that I forgot to get my free taco from Taco Bell last night as part of the World Series promotion. (Being sad now, sighing). But, looking at your elder son’s smiling face has cheered me up. I will be happy for you.
Wait … they’ll give them to your KIDS????
We are definitely getting some foil.
And does anyone know what metal it’s actually made of?
I am so glad to see your son sporting an Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie (AFDB). Halloween is a day when electromagnetic psychotronic mind control carriers are particularly strong. Better safe than sorry, plus a free burrito!
No Chipotle for at least 50 miles, alas! Though I doubt they’d do this in Austin anyways, because then they’d go out of business from all the hungry college kids! LOL

Hey, I just had an idea: make aluminum foil versions of your Dad’s jacket!
–Denita
Thanks for the tip but I do not like Mexican food. :( Now if Benihana’s is giving out free food, I’ll be there with my party hat on. :)
Must go now. I’m supposed to be writing my entry for the Writer’s Digest Poetry Contest.

Okay, so that finally explains the long line of tinfoil-wearing patrons we saw one year waiting to get into the Chipotle in St.Anthony. Hadn’t remembered that it was Halloween, but I suppose it must have been.
(And I think it’s kind of funny that, being a person who’s really bothered by people saying “nucular” instead of nuclear or writing course instead of coarse, I just went with “tinfoil,” even though I know perfectly well that the stuff is made of alumin(i)um.
Whether it has anything to do with Daffy Duck saying, “Hi-Ho, Tinfoil! Away!” I can’t say, but I just like the word.)
I’m a guy and I typically don’t notice these kinds of things, but you sure have a cute kid!
I know that’s not a breathtaking pronouncement…I’m just simply stating the obvious.
Wowie.
We just decided last night to go to Chipotle tonight for dinner–something we rarely do, seeing as how we have 4 small kids and eating out ANYWHERE requires too much thought, energy and cash.
But free food? For the small price of covering our children with aluminum? I had no idea. We must be really Spirit-led or something.
