Starbucks $1 Reusable Cup

Starbucks $1 Reusable Cup

Interesting news! Starbucks has reportedly started selling a $1 reusable cup, resembling its paper version cups, at all of it’s stores in the USA and Canda. The postive move by Starbucks is an effort to get customers to kick the habit of throwing away cups for every new drink. And best of all… Starbucks will clean cups for customers with a boiling-water rinse before each refill. Article doesn’t say if it includes a discount of some sort. For more info, check out Starbucks $1 Reusable Cup!

I think what Starbucks is doing great but I’m not sold on the idea yet. Gotta try it first!

What are you thoughts on the $1 cup? Would you buy it/use it?

Thanks Lara!

    I just bought one and love it! The cup will pay for itself after ten uses! You get $.10 off each time you use it.

    Starbucks offers a $0.10 discount for ANY cup/mug you bring in from home. They’ll rinse them out and make any beverage in it. The reusable cup they’re selling is only a grande (medium) size… You can find larger cups (nearing venti (large) size) lots of places. So if grande isn’t your size, or you prefer a non-flimsy cup for your drink of choice, go buy one at Walmart or Target.

    I have used my own cup for Starbucks forever. I prefer it because it keeps the drink hotter or colder deepening on what your drinking! I do wish Starbucks themselves would come back with there seasonal cups to purchase.
