Kangaroo Express: Get $.25 Refills All Summer with the 2012 Roo Cup; 4 Cups to Give Away!

admin — Tue, 01 May 2012 01:27:28 +0000

Some of you may have gotten in on the great deal last summer from Kangaroo Express – if you bought a Roo cup summer of 2011, you got free refills on fountain and frozen drinks all summer. The cups sold out quickly (all 264,000 cups). I tried several stores, but wasn’t able to get one in time. Now for summer 2012, they will have double the number of cups available for purchase and you can get unlimited refills on fountain and frozen drinks all summer for just $.25, plus you can reserve your cup beginning May 1 by pre-registering on the Kangaroo Express facebook page. Those who pre-register will receive a printable certificate with details to redeem in-store and purchase a Roo Cup starting May 16 at 7 p.m.—one week before the Roo Cup’s release to the public on May 23. There are lots of other perks for having a 2012 Roo Cup:

Just look for the giant Roo Cup filled with great deals on snacks and candy in all Kangaroo Express stores – you can’t miss it.
Through June, each item in the Roo Cup display is only $.79 (an average savings of $.70) – you just got yourself a drink and a snack for just over a dollar – and saved yourself a full buck in the process. Now that’s what The Roo calls a bargain.
The deals continue through July and August with all items in the Roo Cup display 2 for $1.
You’ll also notice a redesign of your familiar Roo Cup. That big black square on the side of the cup is a QR code – scan it every Monday to access exciting deals and giveaways. You’ll never have a “case of the Mondays” this summer if you get right at the Roo.
Just by showing your Roo Cup, you’ll also get $1 off any Regular Foot Long Sub at participating Subway locations inside of Kangaroo Express stores. Show your cup and save a buck! (Valid May 23 – Sept. 4.)
Prefer something sweet? Show your Roo Cup at any participating Dairy Queen inside of a Kangaroo Express and get a Free Regular Cone with the Purchase of a Cone of Equal or Greater Value. (Valid May 23 – Sept. 4.)
Fans can also join the Roo Cup Club by texting “ROOCUP” to “THEROO” (“843766”) to receive text messaging deals, such as free refill days.

The 20-ounce 2012 Roo Cups are $6.99 and $.25 refills are valid through 9.4.12. For more information, please visit www.kangarooexpress.com.

Now for the giveaway! Kangaroo Express was gracious enough to give me a roo cup and four for Fun and Frugal readers! ~~To register, please leave a comment below this post on FunandFrugal.com stating what your favorite drink is at Kangaroo Express~~. Contest ends 8 pm EST Sunday, May 6, 2012.
