And it’s not helped when you notice how much more expensive everything is than it was last week.

But Waitrose has brought back a perk that should make the weekly shop a little better – a free cup of coffee.

From 27 January, loyalty scheme members can get one complimentary hot drink per day – even if they don’t actually buy anything in-store.

All you need to do is bring a reusable cup with you, and a lovely hot coffee is all yours.

Flexibility for shoppers

A Waitrose spokesperson said: “Some of our members like to have their free coffee before or during their shop, rather than afterwards, so we are just offering a bit of flexibility in response to customer feedback.”

The free coffee offer was originally introduced in 2013, but later limited only to people who bought something in-store before being axed during the pandemic.

It was then reintroduced for loyalty scheme members who made a purchase, and two years ago, Waitrose started offering free coffees to police officers who visited its stores.
