    I’m a poor consumer. I have my first insulated coffee cup from about 25 years ago. I bought a second one for tea about 15 years ago. I have had several water bottles of different sizes all from promos that I have kept and used since I received them - the newest is aluminum and 12 years old. The oldest is 25 or 30 years old. Although my husband may make up for my lack of buying - he is always trying out new hydration systems for hiking & biking.

      You can upgrade for cheap to the last fad beverage container by visiting your nearest thrift store. Currently they will a bunch of Stanley cups for very cheap. Your other option is know someone in sales or just walk through a trade show where they will give you swag (junk land fill) which usually includes yeti cups as of late.

      I used a $10 Wal-Mart brand one every day for a few months to make sure I’d actually use it. Then I upgraded to a Stanley when they were on sale since it’s also dishwasher safe and the lid on my Walmart one was starting to not seal as well.
