PRET worth considering?

currently I can get 25% off cafe nero twice a day with the meerkat app

That means for example, a flat white and a cup of tea, for a total of around £5.

I noticed first of all that pret does a 99p filter coffee? Then that they also do a £5 monthly subscriptions for 50% off all drinks up to 5 a day (so could even benefit others).

I know a lot of people on here will suggest taking a flask but I like to travel light and have the habit of buying one or two drinks a day sometimes drink in other times take out.

Any one that uses pret or any other recommendations here?

    honestly Greggs or Mac Donald’s. Not sure if either does dairy free milk though, but they’re both perfectly drinkable and much cheaper than anywhere else

    OP in light of your other thread on your underwater budget, I'm not sure spending £5 a day on takeaway coffee makes any sense at all.

    Is this one of the reasons you are spending £450 a month on food and drink?

    Reading a few of your other threads, I would agree that spending £4.50 per day on tea/coffee is far too extravagant.

    What is your objection to taking a flask?

    'travel light' doesn't sound like a good reason when on one of your other threads you say you spend £450 per month on food & drink.

    It might be a habit for you to buy expensive teas/coffees but I'd suggest that it's a habit you need to break.

    Before it breaks you.
