Friday Freebie 6/27
*UPDATE*
Congratulations to Emma and Frederick for winning this freebie!
Last week we posted a picture of a ridiculously long Starbucks receipt. One of the commenters called BS on the receipt so to prove it was legit we went to Starbucks and bought some gift cards. Now we’re sitting here with these $5 gift cards and figured, we can all use some extra caffeine once in a while, what the hell, Friday Freebie time!
So this Friday Freebie is going out to 2 winners! The prize is a $5 Starbucks giftcard and a Beaver sticker pack from BeaverMart with some Beaver Badges and some Basic logo decals. The entry is simple, just send an e-mail to (This contest is closed, sorry) with a subject line of “I need caffeine!”
The contest is only open until midnight EST so get your entries in.
Good luck Beavers!
