Camping out for a free Keurig (and 5 tips to survive!)

We just camped out for a free Keurig. So many people are talking about this right now in Madison.  If you want a free Keurig, you have to turn in your old coffee maker, and then you'll get the exchange!  

The Keurig truck!

Keurig has been posting where they're going to be... and then you trade in your old coffee maker for a brand new Keurig!  And, just like everything, the early bird gets the worm.  Ask News 3's Dannika Lewis... sometimes it's just too early.

The day we went it was raining, and the Keurig folks were not going to set up in the rain and lightning.  So, after camping out for an hour or so, we got free vouchers!  I preferred this because we started camping out around 7 a.m. for a 10 a.m. giveaway. Since the event got called off, we were given vouchers by 8:45 am.!

Other than being wet, it was a great trade-off!  I went home and took a nap!

There is still one more Keurig "Trade up" event this Sunday!  My intuition tells me that you need to get there early.  The first person in line for our event got there around 4 or 5 a.m.  I can't remember now because I was so tired when she told me.  But yay for her!

TIPS:

1.  Bring a lawnchair
2.  Bring a snack  (Krystal made us homemade Chex Mix and Dannika brought donuts)
3.  Bring an old coffee maker (for the trade-up)
4.  Bring some friends
5.  And be prepared for weather
