Quick Tip: BYO Coffee Edition

Is running to Wawa or Starbucks for morning coffee a part of your daily routine?  If so, bring your own reusable mug with you.  You’ll avoid wasting the paper cup, cardboard cup holder & top you otherwise dispose after finishing your caffeine fix.  Wawa even gives you approximately 15 cents per cup, that adds up quickly if you’re a coffee addict!
