Free Roll Up The Rim To Win Lids!

Thats right, lids! Last year I sent in a couple of self-addressed stamped envelopes to get a free contest cup and it turned out to be the lid of a cup ripped off and put in the envelope.

So I've decided to send in a few more this year and to see what I get back. Obviously the LIDS I received back were all "Please Play Again/Réessayez s.v.p.” - we'll see if anything changes this year.



If you want to receive a free contest LID, just send a self-address stamped envelope along to:

Tim Hortons Contest Cup
PO Box 9899
Saint John, NB
E2L 4P8

They must be post dated by May 3, 2008 and received by May 11, 2008 in order to be eligible.

Day 4: Frugal Tips For Roll Up The Rim To Win

I am seriously falling behind in this competition with Boo Radley. He won again yesterday for the second time in row! I certainly have my work cut out for me. I wonder if its winning percentage or total wins that matters most? I guess it doesn't matter right now as I am behind in both!

Also, for those of you with a Country Style in your area Boo Radley has confirmed they will be giving away free coffee for each "Please Play Again" rim. As MediaInCanada explained they will be giving a free medium coffee for each non-winning rim from Tim Horton's from March 3rd to the 9th. They go on to explain this is a "promo hijack" and are using various viral marketing avenues including Facebook postings to promote it!




This, my friends, is a massive XTRA-LARGE Smoothie from Tim Horton's. I used my "Win Coffee" rim to get this. Many people don't know, but the free coffee rim's can be used to get any hot beverage in ANY SIZE.

I know, its not that big of a deal. But for those of you out there who like to get the most out of everything this is a good tip.

To make the best of it, I won another coffee from this roll up the rim.




This now brings my totals to 2 wins in 4 chances. Not quite as good as Boo Radley's 2 wins in 3 chances but its well above the stated 1 in 9 posted odds!
