"Thank you for a great giveaway! My husband and I have found discounts tickets to the symphony for Friday night before Valentine's, which is a HUGE treat. A gift card to a restaurant would be a huge blessing, and give us more freedom to pay a babysitter (I know our babysitter would like to be paid:-)."
"What a romantic way to spend Valentine's Day. It has been years since my husband and I went out on Valentines, but now that both my daughters are teenagers and dating, this would be the perfect time! Thanks for the chance to win!"
Whitney
"I am participating in the No Spend Challenge and I'm training for a half marathon so I would LOVE to win this! They say that fish is really healthy and a good post-race recovery food."
"With three kids, hubby and I rarely get any alone time. When we do, I often feel guilty for spending money when we could be with the kids. The gift card would be a great treat and take the guilt from me. LOL

"It's my hubby's birthday and I'd love to take him out! He's the cook in the house, so I'd like to take him out for it. He wants to make a special dinner at home, but I sort of feel guilty that I can't make it!"
Maria
"I love the Bonefish Grill. It is one of our favorite restaurants. I would love to win the card so when my husband returned from working storm trouble (electric lineman currently working KY)who knows when that will be, we would be able to have a nice date night with a great meal."
Heather
"What a wonderful giveaway! I'm not entering the giveaway myself though because we don't have this restaurant in our area. Freebie Friday just keeps getting better and better!

"Whoa would I love to be able to go eat at the bonefish grill. I am a single working mom and on a tight budget of course, so my son and I don't get to go out to eat much. With a gift card I can let HIM take mom out to Valentine's Dinner!

"Because my baby is 18 months old and my husband and I haven't been on a date since I got pregnant =@"
Lori
"I need this gift card to Bonefish because this is mine and my husband's favorite date night restaurant. We are trying to save $ right now so this would be a wonderful way to get to go to our favorite place but not have to pay for it."
"It would be good to win this gift card for my husband and I. We hardly don't ever go out after having 4 kids. :)"
Mrs. Boggess
"My husband and I would love to win this gift card since we never get to go out. We have 3 kids and my husband works full time, teaches part time and is pursuing his doctoral degree so it is rare to find time for us to go out - not to mention the money. This would be a huge blessing! And I would love to try out this restaurant since it is new to our area."
Amanda L
"I need it because hubby and I haven't been on a real date since May.abduvall@yahoo.com"
"I would love to be able to win the Bone Fish Grill gift certificate to be able to have a romantic night out with my husband. Shortly after getting married almost three years ago he became very ill. For almost a year he was unable to do anything. He is better now, and life is really looking good; however, we are on an extremely tight budget and this would be a very welcome way to celebrate making it through tough times together.
Thank you!"
Melissa
"Why do I need a Bonefish gift card? Well, my husband and I have had the year from you-know-where. I lost my job a year ago, cutting our household income in half. We have cut our budget to the bare bones and have learned to live very frugally. Also, our marriage was in serious trouble at that same time, and we have worked very, very hard to repair our relationship. We are doing much, much better, but we have no money to go out and spend time together alone. We have two small children, so finding the funds to cover a babysitter AND a night out is an impossible challenge at this time. I would LOVE to have a night out with my husband, where we can spend time alone and reconnecting."
jen grady
"I need this Bonefish gift card! My husband and I are expecting our first child in April and this would be the perfect last Valentine's without a little one. And Bonefish is one of our all time favorite places!"
lisa
"I really want this (need? that kind of thinking gets me into trouble with spending). We're on a tight budget, with a mortgage, and mother in law to help support, a kid in college, and a toddler. So I'd love a dinner out, it's been forever since we've done that. But I won't say I need it, just want it really bad!"
amybee
"Thank you for the offer. I'd love to have a night out with my husband. Free meal would offset the cost of babysitting!"

"Hi,
I would love to send the Bonefish card to my Mom. She is 80 years old and just spent nearly two weeks in the hospital for a heart condition. As I'm sure you know, the food in the hospital makes airline food seem gourmet. It would be so wonderful for my Mom to celebrate sleeping in her own bed again by having a delicious meal at Bonefish. Thank you."
"Love your blog, love your giveaways! We could use this card because our budget allows for a "Boston Market" date, but not dinner at a reaallll restuarant, like Bonefish!!! THANKS!! duckbooks@peoplepc.com"
Gene and Annie
"We would love this giftcard because we have no money to go out for Valentine's day! We have been very short on money since my husband's hours got cut at work! Thanks for the opportunity!"
The Wade's
"I need this because my hubbie and I have never been to Bonefish, and we would love to go, but it's just never fit into the budget. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!"
"I need a night out w/ DH sans kids. :)"
Mary
"I would love to have this to give my husband an unexpected treat!"

"i don't have a blog, but i would sign up for the no spend challenge if i could!! we need this gift card because we are trying to save up for a house so my two little boys can play in a backyard! and... i'm due april 9th with baby boy #3 and don't want to be in an apartment forever!! -hayley

"I would love to win this gift card because we just decided this month that I would stop working to stay home with our son, so a Valentine's Day dinner may not be in our budget this year as we're getting used to one income!"
jessica
"We love Bonefish Grill! I would love to win this in order for my husband, daughter and I to have a night to share out with one another to celebrate the day."
Stef
"I am so impressed with your resilience with the no spending challenge, Amy! Good for you for sticking with it even when it gets tough.
I would like to have this giftcard to use for Valentine's Day because my husband and I are always committed to no-spending. In fact, using giftcards like these are usually the only way we get to splurge on special dinners or a night out. Like yourself, we are committed to getting out of debt and plan to be by the end of the year - so I can sympathize with you on the challenges it takes to pinch the pennies in order to fully commit to paying off all debt.
I am excited to share our journey to becoming debt free with our son and hope that these lessons will instill in him the importance of money management and the fact that the biggest blessings our family have are not the ones that require any money at all, but the time we get to spend with each other which costs nothing at all.
Thanks for all you do."
"I need this gift card so that I can have a much needed "date night" with my hubby! LOL!

"This is my husband's favorite restuarant. Economically, we just don't go out to dinner anymore. It would be nice to treat him this Valentine's day."
Bri
"I think I need the Bonefish giftcard because my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about 3 years now, and I just found out that I am, I would love to take him out to dinner and surprise him with this great news!"
"I need this gift card because my husband, my daughter, and I have all been sick on and off since Thanksgiving, and this week we are all finally WELL!!! We need to go celebrate before we get sick again, and since we have had to pay so many doctor bills recently, a free dinner would be nice!

"I/We would like to receive this bonefish gift card because the economy has really restrained our relationship more that just financially. We will begin Christian counseling on Feb 12th in hopes of getting things back on track with us. We really haven't talked about V-Day until last nite. I wasn't sure he wanted to celebrate but he does. He's such agood man and hard worker and always provides as best he can so much so that physically he couldn't take it any more. He had to take FMLA in Dec. and the Dr. has ordered him to find another job with less stress (but with this economy...no luck thus far) or the Dr. said he would have to be admitted into the hospital.
I went on line last night after he and I spoke to find FREE V-Day events in Atlanta but there were few options for adults. Most cost $85 and up per person and that's simply not in our budget. We are committed to one another and to God to make it through this rough time. I've been telling him a real meal would nice since I am all "roman noddled" out! A gift card to BoneFish would be a nice treat for the both of us! Thanks for the opportunity. p__ward@hotmail.com (There are two underscores in the email)"

"I absolutely love seafood, Amy! A gift card would help a frugal girl enjoy a delicious meal. Thank you for the giveaway! Have lots of fun this weekend, too!"

"My husband and I are trying to save money to move, and this would be a great way to do that, a free Valentines dinner!

"Hi im a single mom with two boys. I have been struggling for about 2 years now, ever since i had my second son. I have been out of work for 9 months now and in South Florida it is very very hard to find a job right now. I would love to go out to dinner with out the kids and enjoy a night out. I dont get out much since i am paying all the bills my self would love a little time alone and a meal that i dont have to cook
love
Valerie"
Melissa
"THANKS for the opportunity to win! We need the Bonefish Grill Gift Card because my husband's job has been affected by the economy/cut backs - we are still waiting on his unemployment to kick in (12 weeks) - so the gift card would allow a great Valentine Dinner out...
THANKS again for the opportunity to win!

"I nned this gift card because I have gone back to being a student (translation: no income) and I would like to be able to have a special dinner with my boyfriend without having to feel guilty that I'm spending money I shouldn't be."

Deanna
"I would LOVE to win this b/c Bonefish is one of my favorite restuarants. Also, my husband and I decided not to eat out for Valentines to save money so this would be PERFECT if we could for FREE. sprklyblue at gmail.com"
Clh03uga
"This is my first time...so I'm not sure if this is where you want the comments. I kind of expected there to already be some comments. ??? I really need the Bonefish gift card because my husband is a firefighter, and it was important to us that I stay home with our 2 year old son. Public service does not lead in highest salaries so we are on a tight budget, and we would love some time together to eat out and enjoy each other's company. When we do splurge and eat out it is not at expensive restaurants like Bonefish. It would be such a great Valentine's Day treat to be able to tell my husband that he is my hero both for what he does, and for how hard he works so that I can stay home."
Amy
"I'm pregnant and money is tight right now. We would love to go to Bonefish. It is a place we have always wanted to go to, but were fearful because of the cost.
Thanks for another great giveaway"
Carolina Girl
"I so need the gift card to Bonefish Grill...I am working full time, I am going to return to school in the summer to finish a degree...I have a traveling husband, 2 grown kids, 4 grandbabies and one more due in March...I am tired...I feel old and I need some fun in my life and a date with hubby!!!!!"
Leah
"I could really use this gift card. My DH and I don't get much time together since he works 2 jobs so I can stay at home with the little one."
karen
"Yes..pick me, pick me. We live down the road from Bonefish and I have never been. My husband and I are taking the no spend challenge (in order for me to stay home with the kids). It would be wonderful to enjoy a night out...we have not been out to eat in 7 months."
"My husband has been laid off since November and we have really cut back on our spending. As it was, we were only eating out on Sundays after church, but now we've cut that out, too. I make all our bread at home and we don't purchase many extras at the store. It would be so nice to get to eat out for free just once. But even if we don't get to, I'm planning a special homemade meal for my wonderful husband for Valentine's Day. Thanks for the giveaways!

"My husband and I are faithfully following the Dave Ramsey plan and are on a strict budget, so outings to Bonefish are VERY few and VERY far between. This would be amazing! Plus, with our five month old, I don't think we've gone out to anywhere besides the grocery store together.. :)"
Melly
"I have never eaten at Bonefish, it would be a great introduction.

"I'd never heard of the Bonefish Grill; so I figured there wasn't one around here and wasn't going to enter. Then I visited their website and learned there is one about 15-20mins from me!
I would like to win this card because we are trying to cut down our spending on eating out- and a "free" dinner would sure ease the transition. :)"
Amy
"Oh and we are doing the no-spend challenge too. So far doing okay, though there has been a bump or two in the road. :)"

"I would love this giftcard to give it to my husband's parents. We have been in a terrible situation this year (poor paying job, moved across country and rented a home that the landlords foreclosed, moved again and husband lost this job in July). His parents have supported us through it all. I know that they like Bonefish, as they've recommended it to us (we don't have one here). So if I won, I'd send it to them as part of a HUGE thank you that they deserve. I don't know what we would have done this year without them!"
Celeste
"My husband and I just bought a house and are putting pretty much all of our spare money into improving our older home. This would allow us to go out for V-day instead of eat in which will also be fun. Thanks!"
"Amy,
I feel that I deserve the Bonefish gift card because, like you, I am also taking the No Spend Challenge for the entire month of February. What would be better than ending this challenge by taking a night and still not spending any! It is a restraunt I have heard wonderful things about, yet have not had the opportunity to try. THANK YOU!"
"hmmm, why do i need this? i suppose it's a common story nowadays....we live on paycheck to paycheck, and usually end up with four days of just about hanging on by threads! it would be great to go out and have a nice meal with my husband....maybe my mother in law will babysit???"

"I would love to win this so I can treat my hard working husband out to eat! Thanks for the chance!

"I would love to win this gift card and surprise my husband.
See, my husband was diagnoised with prostate cancer. He went in for his yearly check-up and suddenly we were given this news. The doctor told us that my husband was young for having this type of cancer.
Through alot of prayer, God blessed us. My husband's prostate was taken out and the doctors informed us that the cancer was contained. No further treatment was needed. Those couple of weeks were really hard but we relied on our faith and received alot of prayers from family, friends and our church for which we are very thankful.

"I just found out I was laid off from my job on Monday because they had major budget cuts. Feb 13th will be my last day. This is mine and my fiance's 1st valentines day (and our last before we are married). We met in April, got engaged in November, and will be married next September. It would be fantastic if we could still enjoy a romantic valentines day dinner with out worrying about dipping into our savings during this tough time."
Kirsten
"I would love to get this gift card! I have never been to Bonefish Grill even though we have one nearby. It's always nice when you can cut costs on your actual outing and thereby have more left over for the babysitter which allows you to extend your date just a little longer ..."
"I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this gift card! I've never won anything yet by posting a comment on blogs, and I really need a night our with my hubby! I home school 8 - yes 8 - children from 11 to 2 years old! 5 are my own, and the 3 others belong to our friends whose mama died of breast cancer at age 36 2 years ago. We felt a burden to help, so we've taken in their kids for school ever since. Also, I have very bad neuroma's (nerve pain) in both feet, and could use a night without dinner and clean up! And last but not least - my husband loves fish! Thanks so much for the wonderful opportunity!

My hubby and I are busy building up an emergency fund in addition to paying down debt so we are not able to go out to eat anymore. A night out would be divine!
Thanks for this giveaway!

"Why do I need a Bonefish Grill gift card?
Three words: Hot Wheels Birthday.
That's right: I'm hosting all the boys from my sons's kindergarten for his 6th birthday this weekend.
Like most of your readers, nights out are a serious rarity for us, and after Saturday, both my husband and I will be in serious need of one."

"Bonefish is one of my favorite restaurants, but I've never had the opportunity to share the experience with my husband. I used to travel for business quite a bit and would frequently eat at the Bonefish in Tampa. Now a Bonefish has opened near our home in Cleveland, but being a mom, working only part time, and watching our spending have made it difficult to eat out anywhere. Thanks for offering this giveaway! It would be wonderful to win!"

"Bonefish is my brother's favorite place to eat. He recently took me there while I was visiting him and it was great. I would love to win the card to pass on to him for his enjoyment!"
sassy2
"My husband started a new job and took a paycut. We lost his company car and have had to cut back. We could truly use a "free" night out together without worry if we need the money for a bill."
"Wow! What a treat THAT would be...Bonefish Grill. My husband and I went there once because we were given gift cards. We would love, love, love to go back for the Bang Bang Shrimp! We had a terrible year in 2008 but has been going much better so far this year. A chance to be wined and dined would be so wonderful. We don't get to eat out much due to our finances, so when we receive a gift card, it's like getting gold to us. ;-)"
"Bonefish Grill is amazing! My husband and I would love to spend our last Valentine's Day as a single married couple - we are preparing for our first little girl in March! So, this would be a wonderful way to celebrate our love for one another through eating a good meal (for 3!) :) Thank you for the opportunity!

"Wow!SO many great reasons why people need this gift card! We have three small children and I would love this giftcard to go on a date with my husband, but do not NEED it! We used a giftcard for my husband's birthday (nearly a year before) on my birthday because it took that long to get a sitter and get out of the house. BUT, we got to go to Bonefish then and I've been craving the seafood creviche ever since! Thanks for a great giveaway and Happy V day!"

"Hmmm...I'm trying to think of something that everyone else has not already said. I'm sure everyone deserves to win the gift card. I've never been to bonefish, but I sure wouldn't mind trying. (wow that was orginal...not really)

Cyndi S
"I would love to win the Bonefish Gift Card and take my husband out for a special treat, we have been married for 3 months, and haven't gotten to have anytime alone (honeymoon either), because my daughter and 15 month old grandson moved in with us, shortly after our wedding day (she is going thru a messy divorce), so I am sure you can guess how much private time we never get. We love them both and cherish our time with them, but even alittle "us" time would be lovely, and on Valentine's Day, it would be a thrill for "us" time. Thank you again for the chance."
"I have eaten at bonefish Grill one time and it was the best food I have had in a long time from a restaurant. I would love to eat there again, especially for free."
"I usually cook for my parents on Valentine's Day, but this year I'd like to take them someplace special. I think the Bonefish grill would be quite a treat!!! And besides, nothing says I love you like Lindt chocolate for dessert!"
"i love seafood! just cannot afford it. it would be a treat to go!"
"1. I would love to win since I have never had the opportunity to try this restraunt before.
2. Since we are participating in the No Spend Challenge for the month of February, a free Valentine's Day dinner would be the prefect treat!"
"1. We live in the area and have never had the chance to visit Bonefish, even though we have heard many wonderful things about the restraunt. We would feel honored to win!
2. My daughter, her boyfriend and I are all participating in the No Spend Challange for the entire month of February. We would love to use this card as a treat for making it through the month! Thank you for the great giveaways."
"bonefish grill? i'm hooked! it's been really rough this past year. i have applied for disability and been denied twice.(i have fibromyalgia and it has been flared ever since i was rearended in a car accident)I got laid off from work last april. my hubby's job was eliminated last july. he has been unale to find employment. dinner out would be such a boost mentally/emotionally for us. thanks so much for the opportunity to participate in the giveaway!:)"

"This is a great giveaway; I am a hockey mom and my son has a hockey game on Valentines. We were not going to do anything because we need to save money. My husband is in the real estate business and we have been hit hard by the economy. It would be nice to have a evening out without worrying about the cost."

"oh my....i can't remember the last time we had a date. we are talking at least 6 months since we were out together alone. we've got little ones and a budget, so eating out has been off the table for us!
Would love to win, and indulge, and maybe even talk to each other again? :)
thanks.

"This would be an awesome treat for my husband and I!!! We have not been out to dinner in over a year and not out by ourselves in approx. 2 years. We used to bowl on a league two years ago and that was our night out, but between the league fees and trying to occupy the kids while we were there, it got to be too much. We have no babysitter and no family close by, so it really is hard, and my older son has special needs and unfortunately that means that not just anybody can watch my two boys. My husbands 20 year old son is coming to visit us on Valentines weekend, so that would just work out perfect. We would have a babysitter and dinner out. I have goosebumps just imagining an uninterrupted conversation with my husband-let alone a delicious free meal!!!

"Thanks for offering this great giveaway. With hectic schedules and trying to "live like no one else". My husband and I never have the extra cash for a date night alone. This would be a huge blessing."
"Wow, what a great gift to give my hubby. He loves this place & since I left work when we had my daughter it would be a wonderful treat! Thanks for the offer!"
"My husband and I would really enjoy a Bonefish meal! He LOVES fish. Its probably his favorite meal, so I'd love to surprise him with a great fish dinner on Valentines Day.

"I would say I need this because my husband and I have not gone out to eat in about 6 years we have two kids and they come first we have one income so that minimizes on going out to eat together.
On top of all that I had signed up for the No Spend Challenge so no spending money out this v-day."
"We, like many others, are living on a very tight budget. Going out with the hubby would be such a nice treat. Thanks for hosting the giveaway.

"A romantic night out with my husband would be awesome.I can't remember the last time we went out on a date. We have 5 children age range 10-2. I quit my job back in July to pursue my dream of becoming a nurse. My husband is now working 2 full time jobs to support the family and my dreams. To be able to give him this gift card and I a night out together would be priceless. Thanks for the chance to win!"

"Thanks for having this giveaway! My husband and I are celebrating our 28th Anniversary on the 28th of February and would LOVE to have a romantic dinner away from the stresses of home. My mother in law has alzheimers and moved in with us last month and though it has been a special blessing to have her with us it's also been quite stressful to have her be so confused and upset with us for taking away her "independence". I think a night on the town would be very good for us:)"

"Taking the challenge. My husband is the most wonderful man I know. He married me almost two years ago. I was a single mother of 4 children when he married me. He not only treats my children like his own but he Now completely supports all of us. He works two full time jobs to allow me to go back to school to pursue my dreams. He also helps out around the house cooking and cleaning allowing me time to study. HE is all over an angel to my children and I. Together we have 5 children so alone time is well non existing. I was just released from a 5 day stay at the hospital. He took care of the kid, house and worked both his jobs. He is a one of a kind husband. I would love to treat him to this gift card and a special night out with me something he longs for. Thank you for considering us."

"This would be great! We have a 6 month old and haven't been out since before he was born. This is our 1st year a a newlywed couple also. The in laws offered to babysit but money is tight so we were going to have a dinner at home, but this we be so much more memorable! I would love to surprise my hubby with this. He has been the best daddy to our son. He let me take the year off work to be with him. He really deserves this. I hope we win! Thanks!!!"

"I'd love to give this to my parents so they can have a free and well deserved valentine's dinner."
"First, I would like to begin by thanking you for the generous giveaway. I read some of the other comments, and it seems that all of these women deserve a night out. We all could use a night out with our husbands/significant others to reconnect and have a quiet evening (without children!). Thank you for entering me into your giveaway, and giving me hope that I could possibly have a delicious dinner at Bonefish!! I cannot remember the last time I had dinner at a restaurant! Robin rjr146@hotmail.com
P.S. Happy Valentine's Day to YOU!"

"Bonefish grill sounds great!"
"Bonefish Grill is my all-time-favorite restaurant, but we live 1 hour and 30 minutes from the nearest location, so we don't get to make it all too often in the last two years, but what a treat it is when we do get to go! We lived in Germany for most of the last 5 years, and haven't had a great opportunity to enjoy a yummy Valentine's dinner, american-style, in quite a few years.

"My husband and I haven't been out to dinner by ourselves since March 2008! How sad, right! We would love a chance to win!"

"Hello! First thanks for the awesome blog! I would love to win this gift card so my hubby and I can enjoy a night out together without the little ones. We have really been trying to pinch pennies because of his cutback at work and we were planning on cutting out valentines day this year because we just can't afford it. So if I were to win this I would surprise him with a nice romantic dinner. Thanks for the chance to win and GOOD LUCK!"
