One year, got the Uncle Bens tub of rice on clearance, with coupons inside. Another year, got the red Brita filter pitchers for a great price on clearance

I meant to check to see if Brita was doing another Red Pitcher promo for this time of year! Thanks for the reminder, @Shwa Girl !

Hmm, their Facebook and Instagram accounts have not been updated for weeks. Did find the Chinese language page for the Red Pitcher. https://brita.ca/en/cny-cht/ No idea what's new for 2020.

Mandarin Buffet-sibling got the red envelope with their lucky coin as he had lunch there today.

Question about the free wok offer from Uncle Bens. I can only find a buy 3 products and enter a contest. Last year there was a buy 5 products get a free wok.
Is there another link to get the free wok?

[Ciel]

@olivercat You're right about there being another way to get a wok (weekly contest with 3 proofs of purchase):
