Switching to reusable items saves a lot of money, I've made that point in abundance on this blog, but did you know that you can save money on your drink every time you go to Starbucks or Caribou?
I don't personally patronize either establishment but the Handsome Husband loves himself some Caribou. He likes the caramel cooler with two pumps of caramel without whip cream on top. He gets his caramel cooler a few times a week and has a habit of whipping the straw around in the cup for several seconds before he takes each sip. Each sip must be properly whipped to mix up the ice to a state of perfection. This habit was once a source of annoyance for the rest of the family but has blossomed into a rich source of humor within our home. I'm not making fun mind you, I love my husband dearly, and I am by far the most annoying person that I know.
Last year we made the switch to reusable straws to reduce that waste and Handsome Husband has been great about bringing his straw with him when he gets his yuppie slushie caramel cooler. He noticed that his plastic Caribou cups were aplenty in our recycling bin and he decided to get a reusable cup to eliminate that waste as well. He bought a 20-ounce Yeti tumbler with a straw lid and has been using it ever since. He saves 10 cents each time on his drink and eventually the tumbler will have paid for itself.
There you have it. Save money on your mocha-lotta-chottas you fancy freaking yuppies. You're welcome.
