I had two coupons for free coffees in my purse and was going to grab one this morning but when I got to the front of the line there was a sign that prices are going up next week (April 11th) on somethings. It didn't say what would increase or by how much but I thought I'd buy my tea this morning and save the freebie for next week when it could be more expensive.
not sure exactly how many coffee's I've bought, but at least 15
I've won a coffee three times
BUT
I've found a free coffee three times as well
yeah prices going up but it will be 3-7 cents from what I heard.
and I can not believe all the people that complain at the store about not having roll up cups in XL or whatever cups and than try to cry and yell for one in a size that has the roll up. Its SO pathetic. I had one idiot customer be nice to me than yell at me for saying no to him.
Just had to vent that out
One of my best friends won a bike this year. I know a guy who won a mini van a number of years ago. We are in a small town.
She told me that most of the good prizes are on the extra large cups. She used to work at a Timmies for about 4 years or so and told me she should know!!.... LOL
Guess what !
I actually won !
haha, Just a WIN DONUT. :)
But Ive never won anything from timmies ever !
1 for 7 this year !
Up to now I won 10 free coffees.
All of my cups are xl yet still worse year ever! Oh well, I'm glad that thereQuote:

A couple years ago some kids dug a cup out of a garbage here in NL somewhere and it was the suv winner!! I remembers it on the news but cannot find the link to the story. Anyway there was huge debate bc the kid's parents fought over who should claim it. I don't know what ever came out of it. :/
I'm not sure if this is the same case that you are referring to, but in Quebec, the girl who found the cup was the one whose family ultimately got the SUV. Not the girl who helped roll the rim, or the man who claimed that he was the one to throw away the cup in the first place.Quote:

Mine is out of large cups and when the price goes up next week I probably will use that as an excuse to drink more at home.
Timmies getting a little too much like a greedy corporation for me
i bought a mix of L and XL and i found that i won more with L cups. Did anyone find the same thing?
yep!Quote:

This year alone we won every 2nd cups...so far we got about 10 Free coffee and 10 donuts.....
My sister-in-law won a $100 Tim Card!!! :top:
Because since they were bought out by an American, Tim Hortons has BECOME American. It's no longer any part Canadian... Except for the pictures of Sid Crosby on the walls! :yikes:Everyone watch out!!The Americans ARE, in fact, invading..Quote:

Whenever someone wins a free coffee, it would be logical that they would redeem it for an XL cup since it's free so taking this into consideration, there probably fewer prizes in XL cups but a still yield a greater chance of hitting a super prize.Quote:

"Tim Hortons blames Roll up the Rim
That free coffee or muffin you won at Tim Hortons isn’t going down well with the company’s shareholders...
But all those freebies finally caught up with the company in the first quarter, causing results to miss expectations and sending the stock to its biggest loss in more than two years...
On the first-quarter conference call, chief executive officer Don Schroeder said the odds of winning a prize were one in six this year, up from one in nine last year. The increase mainly comprised food and beverage items, of which 47 million were available, meaning more people were redeeming winning cups instead of shelling out cash for coffee and food...."
So I guess next year, there will be fewer prizes.
So should they just absorb every cost increase that comes along. Raw coffee bean costs are probably up to them, gas is up, etc. Sorry to say but in the end it does mean an increase in the price.Quote:
