Waitrose trials change to free coffee - could see £3 charge
The supermarket is offering MyWaitrose members the option to 'borrow' a reusable coffee cup, in order to redeem a free coffee when doing their shopping. It comes as earlier this year, MyWaitrose customers were able to start claiming a free coffee (as long as they had a reusable cup) without buying anything. This was introduced following a shake-up to the loyalty scheme, which saw Waitrose ditch the free newspaper initiative. #costofliving ♬ Window Shopper - Instrumental - 50 Cent @catchagemm ☕️ Grab a FREE hot drink from Waitrose everyday .. this has no expiry date and is expected to run for the foreseeable future! When this offer was first introduced, the drink was free with no purchase required, Waitrose later re-introduced the offer with a purchase as a requirement in 2022 however this has now been scrapped and the original offer is BACK The coffee in the machines is from the cafe Nero roasting company! ☕️ #waitrose But Waitrose has now installed this new 'circular' system in nine of its UK stores last week. The trial was first spotted in the Newark store by founder of the Meals Collective, Olly Pinder, The Grocer reports. What is the new Waitrose loyalty perk 'Borrow a Free Cup'? Advertised in shops as 'Borrow a Free Cup', the new loyalty scheme trial works by customers accessing a cup from a dispenser by tapping their card. Once released, they can fill the cup with a hot drink of their choice, just as they normally would. How many cups of tea/coffee should you drink a day? However, MyWaitrose members will then have seven days to return the cup to a designated point in store or face a £3 charge, as explained by The Grocer. It's thought the trial will run for the next few months. A Waitrose spokesperson told Newsquest: 'We're currently conducting a reusable cup trial in nine of our branches – it kicked off this week and is available for MyWaitrose members to use when redeeming their free coffee, or for our café customers to use if purchasing one.'

The supermarket has added pistachio paste to the white chocolate, making it pistachio green in colour. Additionally, the bar is also laced with chopped pistachios for a more 'authentic' pistachio flavour and 'delicious' crunch, with no katif pastry in sight.

This Shoe Trend From the Noughties Is So Back
If I could hold your hand as I tell you this, I would; the peep-toe is back. Once a red carpet and party staple of the early aughts, the style reentered the conversation this year. Recently, the silhouette has graced runways and A-list events, making appearances in collections from Miu Miu and Acne Studios, and on the likes of Margot Robbie, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Hailey Bieber. And because I know you like to keep up with the latest and greatest, I rounded up the best peep-toe heels to shop now. Whether you're trading slingback kitten heels for something a bit more daring or are simply eager to show off a fresh pedicure, there's no denying the pull of a stylish peep-toe on a 70-degree summer evening or off-duty afternoon. Read on for 19 of the best options to celebrate the iconic shoe's return. This sandal from Tory Burch evokes the all personality of a toe ring without any of the discomfort. Designed for all-day wear, it features a secure, elasticated ankle strap and a cushioned footbed. Sizes: 5-12 Colors: Cantucci, Bright Silver, Perfect Black Make it a heel, but only ever so slightly. With a modest opening that shows just a hint of the toes, this style can take your outfit from polished work garb to relaxed weekend wear. A notable theme throughout many fall 2025 collections was a newfound emphasis on femininity—Chloé included. This pink suede style definitely exudes ladylike elegance. Sizes: 5-11 Colors: Light Rosewood These vibrant orange mules integrate Bottega Veneta's signature woven texture with a slide-on fit. Sizes: 5-12 Colors: New Orange, Pinecone, Sea Salt The western trend is everywhere, including this list. Pair these with jeans for an denim-on-denim look, or let them serve as a bold statement piece with a neutral ensemble. Colors: Blue Without fail, Mango's shoe section hits the spot, as does its price point. Sizes: 5-10 Colors: Chocolate, White, Medium Brown, Copper, Burgundy Outfitted with Gucci's signature horsebit, this mule is right in line with the sage green color trend.
