Bring Your Own Coffee |
|
|
I like to have a cup of coffee on my way to work. Sometimes I spend a dollar on this luxury. About a month ago, I was at Gordon Foods in Michigan (they are a institutional food supplier with retail outlets). I went to the paper products aisle and found styrofoam cups (a variety of sizes) and lids to go with them. The price was very reasonable. Now I take a cup of coffee from home in one of these. Probably costs me an additional 10 cents (I would have thrown the left over coffee in the sinK. Now I drink it on the way to work. Sure makes traffic jams and train crossings more bearable.

RE: Bring Your Own Coffee
When my hubby and I stop at Dutch Brothers or other coffee places on the way home, we usually find they are "double cupped" so I keep the extras and wash the lids. I also keep the Java Jackets (cardboard that slips around the cup) in my purse/diaper bag and reuse them. My cup I only have to rinse out, being I drink my coffee straight. My husband loads his with milk and splenda, so I only throw that one away. I don't know how many dollar travel mugs I wasted for him, only to find them hiding under the car seats with milk/sugar film in them! I have thrown out more of those than cups!

The disposable cup "Cindy from Michigan" is speaking of isn't styrofoam. It is called "Perfect Touch" paper coffee cup and is made by Dixie. It is an insulated paper cup w/ a nonslip texture. It's made completely of paper.

did you know putting hot liquid in styrofoam cups it not good for your health? it pulls chemicals out of the styrofoam. one of the most popular fast food chains stopped using styrofoam for this reason.

It would be more thrifty to take an insulated mug with a cover, styrofoam is not really good for you. If you have to have a desposible cup. please use paper. Dee

You could also look at a thrift store or rummage sale for an insulated travel mug with a lid -- that way you don't have any trash to throw away. And styrofoam takes FOREVER to biodegrade in the landfill.
