Do you want an inexpensive travel mug that helps reduce waste? The new reusable Starbucks cups are only $1! They are dishwasher and microwave-safe. You also get a $.10 discount for using it when you come into the store for a coffee. It's a great deal and you are doing a good thing for the environment at the same time! We own several of them and use them with our Kuerig at home too.
One of my students had a Contigo mug, and said it was the only mug that was truly drip-free. It retails for $29.99 on Amazon. When I went into Goodwill this week I saw it brand-new for $8.99, with a 35% off sale, so I grabbed the last one! It lives up to its claims; I can vouch for that. Even when you hold it upside-down, nothing leaks out.
Save money on the purchase of a coffee at the mall by bringing your coffee from home in a travel mug. You can still sit in the food court with the other shoppers to enjoy your coffee without the expense.
