TRUE

Is the coupon real for $1.00 Boston Market chicken dinner?



 

Origins:   The "$1 Real Chicken Deal" coupons appear to be a great deal, good for your choice of a quarter white or 3-piece dark chicken, mashed potatoes, and cornbread, all for only $1 at any participating Boston Market restaurant. (Note that this is not a "$1 OFF" coupon — with the coupon, the price of the entire meal is only $1.)

Unlike many other Internet-circulated coupons, however, this one is neither a forgery nor an unauthorized distribution of a print-only coupon. Boston Market is openly offering "$1 Real Chicken Deal" coupons online through its web site (along with other coupons redeemable for discounts on various meal purchases).

The "$1 Real Chicken Deal" Boston Market coupons are good through 1 November 2009 (and are limited to one meal per person, per visit).
