KFC is selling pot pies for $5 to start off the new year.

I would say you get what you pay for in this case, but really, you don't. Many frozen pot pies can be had for about $2.50 that are of a similar quality.

The Popcorn Chicken is also being discontinued and replaced by Nuggets.

I tried the pot pie a few years ago, when it was part of the $5 Fill Ups offerings. It was ok but a little watery.

They have quit printing a survey on the receipt with a buy one get one free chicken sandwich coupon. Now there is no survey on the receipt at all. I wonder what that is all about. They've had a survey on the receipt for many years; the old offer used to be free go-cup with any drink purchase.

They probably figured out that they were losing too much money on free food. They are now pinching every penny.

Are any KFC locations still offering a buffet? I’m doubting it after Covid but I was surprised to find out there were a few in Florida.

I remember seeing one in Port Charlotte but that was about a decade ago.

Lake Wales had one also which I just learned. Can’t find any info on if they still do.

There's one I know of in Burlington NC that apparently still has the buffet, although I haven't been there to confirm. It seems like there's lots of better options for fried chicken in the area so I haven't been to a KFC since before I moved here.
