Get ready to start bringing your own cup to Starbucks

You're only saving $0.10 and getting some bonus stores but still not a bad deal. I prefer my own hot/cold travel mug anyways. Hopefully they eventually launch it nationwide

Get ready to start bringing your own cup to Starbucks

Starbucks is getting serious about sustainability. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, customers were encouraged to bring in a Starbucks-brand reusable cup

Meh.

If you're going to starbucks anyway it's not the worst deal in the world, but if you make your own coffee at home and use a mug and you'll save a whole lot more than 10 cents per cup.

That goes for I think most things made at home versus bought somewhere

True that.

You're paying for the convenience. I just personally don't find making coffee that inconvenient. YMMV.

I don't how many people know how huge the markup is on a cup of coffee at least at Dunkin's. I have a manager friend who told me it costs less than 20 cents on their end. Prices are ludicrous these days in my opinion.

Markup is huge.

You can buy a whole bag of quality coffee beans for $10. At wholesale I'm sure it's far less than that. $10 won't even get you 4 cups at Starbucks.

It's really not all that inconvenient but sometimes I do like some of the specialty drinks at Starbucks. I have a Keurig at home with plenty of K-Cups and occasionally I'll make a cup of coffee but sometimes it's just easier when I am out and about to grab one

Big fan of the travel mug. For me, the key is finding one that is microwaveable. Like my coffee scorching, so always give it a blast after percolating.
