A MAJOR supermarket is making a big change to its free coffee offer. In a boost for shoppers Waitrose is changed the terms and conditions for the deal, meaning its easier to bag a freebie. Previously the posh supermarket chain only offered the free drink to shoppers who had bought something in store first.

But from next week shoppers can bag the beverage without having bought anything. This is the same rule as was initially brought in when the deal was first launched back in 2013. Shoppers will still need to bring a reusable cup in order to bag the freebie though.
The offer is still only available to loyalty scheme members. In an email sent to My Waitrose shoppers the chain outlined the rule change as well as a raft of other tweaks to the scheme. It said: "We’re making some changes to the My Waitrose terms and conditions on 27 January, 2025.
"You’ll be able to get your free hot drink without buying anything in store first. Don’t forget your reusable cup!". Waitrose told The Sun the move has been formally brought in to allow shoppers to sip their coffees as they shop. It said that many already for this but the process has now been brought in formally.
Loyalty scheme members have been reacting to the change online. One said: "GOOD spot. In ALL honesty, the coffee ain't great, but it is perfectly drinkable, yet fer FREE (as was, once upon a time) it somehow becomes DEEElish.". Another wrote: "I think its great they brought it back.".
