Freeganism vs. Gambling Addiction

It's Roll Up the Rim to Win time at my crack dealer. Like I need any more reasons to drink coffee. I read that MacDonalds is giving away free coffee for two weeks, which "has nothing to do with RUTRTW". Now you have to decide: are you more or a gambler, or more of a freegan?

Normally, I think I classify as much more a freegan. There are other factors in the case that land me well in the gambler category. A) I love Tim's coffee. B) MacDonalds probably only hands out free coffee during breakfast hours (before 11?). With my current insomnia issues, I find that....limiting. C) I need the $10, 000.

So far I have had one Tim Horton's coffee - kind of freegan as I had a gift card - and one freebie McDonald's coffee. McDick's does the free small coffee all day by the way. But I think the Timmie's coffee is tastier :)

I think i would take the free McDonalds coffee... but I'm not a big fan of Tim Horton's (Sorry, blasphemy, I know!). I think the free coffee is available all day, but it would be strange going into McDonalds and walking out with just a free coffee... I guess that's what they're counting on?

Now, if we were to talk Tim's vs. McDonald's breakfast sandwiches, I would have something valuable to contribute.

Well, good luck with your rolling of the rim. I hope you win something cool! I knew a guy who one a BBQ once - pretty awesome.

Ahhh, all day! Thanks guys, good to know. Now I think I might go with both. I could go get my Tims and drink it on the way to McDonald's. I might have to see just how weird it is just being a freegan and not ordering anything else. I'll just have to remember how many billions they have served!
