Announcing the King of Free’s Royal Restaurant Tournament {Plus How You Could Win a $50 Gift Card}

Tips like these helped us pay off $127K in debt. You can read our story in Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After.

April 23, 2012 By Cherie Lowe

Those of you who have been following our story for awhile know that the King of Free, my knight in shining armor, hasn’t eaten at a restaurant in over 2 years {2 years, 3 months, and I think 23 days?}.  Not a cup of coffee, not a glass of water, not even a Splenda packet – NOTHING at all from a restaurant.  Not even if it was FREE!  He’s had business meetings, we have traveled, we have been out to eat but he has not partaken.

His reasons are varied {mainly because we were getting out of debt}, however, we feel now is the time for his streak to come to in an end.  And to do so, he basically in very dude fashion drew up a 64 “team” bracket, we’re calling it the King of Free’s Royal Restaurant Tournament.  And you, the Money Saving Lords and Ladies of the Court of the King and Queen of Free shall get to vote on where he eats, round by round.  Read his officialish rules.  Voting begins Thursday on King of Free.  Yesterday was Selection Sunday.

The regions are as follows:

  • The Bovine Region {16 Steak/Burger Joints}
  • The Fancy Shmancy Region {16 Fine Dining Establishments, most with 1 word names}
  • The Italimexinese Region {16 Cuisines from Around the World}
  • The ‘Erbody Else Region {BBQ, Breakfast, and everything else we couldn’t categorize}
In the meantime, we decided it would be fun to let you print out a bracket and play along at home.  And we thought it would be fun to give something to the winner.  SO if you print the bracket, fill it out, scan it in, and e-mail it to me, you have a chance to win a $50 gift card at the winning restaurant, sponsored by us {did I mention how fun it is to give away money now that we’re debt free}.  
Let’s face it, this is going to take some work, so probably most people won’t enter.  Which means your chances of winning a $50 gift certificate are AWESOME.  Fill one out yourself, have your spouse fill one out, get your kids to fill one out, let your dog make picks, whatever.  Print out some for everyone in your office.  Oh and you can totally be related to us, a close friend, whatever.  We jut want you to play along!
Chop, chop, fill out those brackets!  Note, you might need to get out your glasses because the type is so small.  An internet bracketeer, I am not.  Best I could do.  😉

I’ll accept brackets for your chance to win all the way up until midnight EST on Saturday April 28th!
