We are all trying to do our bit for the environment (…right guys?!) and with an estimated 2.5 billion cups being thrown in the UK alone every year, it’s probably time we all started using reusable cups for our take out drinks.
Not only will you be helping with the war on waste, you’ll also re-coup the money you spent buying one in no-time! Look at the money you can save by switching, and if you buy a hot drink every working day of the year (261 times!) you could save a small fortune.
| Retailer | Money Off per Drink | Annual Saving |
| Costa | 25p | £65.25 |
| Starbucks | 25p | £65.25 |
| Pret a Manger | 50p | £130.50 |
| Greggs | 20p | £52.20 |
So with the maths out of the way, it’s clear that even if you don’t give two hoots about the environment (not that that’s any of you), there is a major incentive to get your hands on a reusable cup and have some extra cash to spend elsewhere.
