Found out my local coffee shop charges $0.50 less if you bring your own cup

I was going through my budget last month and noticed I spent $18 on coffee cups alone. I read on the shop's website that they actually discount drinks for reusable cups, so now I save $2.50 each week just by bringing a thermos. Has anyone else found hidden discounts like this in their area?

Actually the savings is $0.50 per cup not per week so if you go five times you'd save $2.50 total, not each week unless you go once a week. Still a solid hack though.

Is this really worth a whole post?

Read somewhere that this trick actually works better with certain coffee brands because of how they grind their beans lol. Wesley's right about the math though, even $2.50 is still a nice little bonus if you go regularly. As long as you're not going way out of your way for it, seems like a win.
