There’s nothing like a nice cup of coffee to get your day started, for some people it’s essential.  Personally I enjoy a relaxing cup of tea when I get home from work as it marks the end of my day.

If you're a regular customer of Costa then you can be rewarded by joining their Coffee Club.  Just pick up a free card on your next visit and register your card online so that every time you make a purchase in a participating store your card will be credited.  You will get 100 points for registering and for every pound you spend you will receive with 5 points.  When you have racked up enough points you can redeem them for free coffee or any other item of food or drink.  Every point is worth a penny, so 215 points could entitle you to a free Primo latté.

Always lots of FREE samples to be had

If you prefer Starbucks, they offer a reward scheme where you put credit on a Starbucks Card and every time you pay for a purchase with your card you are rewarded with a Star.  The more visits you make the more Stars you gain.  Depending on how many Stars you get depends on what level of rewards you’re entitled to.  Basically the more Stars you have the better the rewards.

For those of you who like to shop in IKEA make sure you become an IKEA Family member so you can take advantage of the free tea and coffee which is available Mondays to Fridays only.  It’s the least they can offer after all it’s not exactly a shop you can nip in and out of quickly, so you will have earnt it!

There are so many different teas and coffees out there to chose from, it can be a minefield.  Even though you might be happy with your current brand or flavour there might be a better one out there.  Tea and coffee makers are always encouraging people to try new flavours by giving away free samples or getting you to join their taster club so you’ll be the first to hear about new products or flavours.

To help you get the most of any promotions or free samples I will keep an up-to-date list at the end of this post of where you can get these to enjoy.
