I was talking to my friends at Shaw’s yesterday (not Coupon Carols) and they were telling me about the new contest that’s coming up. Employees have already been able to test and play and one of them won $500.00. Unfortunately my buddy only won twenty five cents off mustard.

My thinking is to increase the odds of winning one should make multiple purchases. Each purchase gets you a game piece so why not do multiple transactions to increase the odds. This could be time consuming because you can’t do back to back orders anymore but you can shop their as many times as you like.  Call it a glitch or a Coupon Carol nightmare but either way it increases your odds of winning. You are keeping the stores busy and the  registers ringing  in profits and anyone that has a clue about basic economics understands that is the goal behind the promotion.

Be sure and let us know if you win!!
