A woman’s tip on saving money at Dunkin’ has captured widespread attention online. Jocelyn, a TikTok user, shared her budget-friendly hack that has impressed many customers.
In her viral video, Jocelyn demonstrates how using a reusable Dunkin’ coffee cup can reduce the price of coffee significantly. She filmed the clip in her car, holding a pink Dunkin’ tumbler filled with iced coffee.
In the video, Jocelyn humorously calls out her friend Sandra, saying, “Had to call you out Sandra, cause how dare you not tell me and save me some money!” The video has garnered nearly 400,000 views since its early September release.
Viewers reacted with surprise and appreciation, commenting, “Bruh I been wasting so much money and thank you for this.” Another user asked, “Is this every time you go?” to which Jocelyn confirmed the deal is available with every visit.
Some viewers were already aware of the discount, noting, “I thought y’all knew this if y’all bring your refill cups (doesn’t have to be a Dunkin’ cup) but you get charged way less… been like this for well over a decade.” Jocelyn responded, “Well. I was yesterday old when I found out and that’s because they put a sign out.”
However, not all locations offer the discount. One user reported, “I bought a cup and they don’t do ½,” suggesting the deal might only be available at specific stores.
Dunkin’ has introduced several reusable cup options over the years. The discount may be exclusive to their ‘Green Stores,’ which have been implementing eco-friendly practices since 2008. These stores feature recycling programs and food donation initiatives. The ‘Reusable Mug Program’ at these locations encourages customers to bring their own mugs for a beverage discount.
Dunkin’ is not alone in offering discounts for reusable cups. Starbucks and Tim Hortons also provide a $0.10 discount for customers who bring their own cups.
For those interested in expanding their collection, Starbucks has launched its fall 2024 line, including the return of the popular slime drip cup.
