I dont buy a lot of drinks out, simply because it is too much money and I begrudge it. Also because there are far too many points in the drinks, especially if your a coffee lover and want latte, mocha or cappuccino
You can buy Nescafe latte, mocha and cappuccino at the supermarket with 8 in a pack for a lot less points/calories than the coffee shops.
It has been known for me to carry the packets out with me and ask for a hot cup of boiling water, producing my own cup and spoon to have it with it discreetly, usually though as a take out
£3-00 + a cup in the coffee shop or about 12 p each to buy the boxes of 8 from Farmfoods (Nescafe make too) at a £1-00 a box for 8. The boxes make more sense to me.

Viewpoint: The waste mountain of coffee cups

Every day hundreds of thousands of Britons put their coffee cup into a recycling bin. They're wrong - those cups aren't recyclable, and the UK throws away 2.5bn of them a year. It must stop, writes Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.
One chilly morning last March - exactly the sort of morning when a warming cafe latte could seem appealing - I took to the streets of London in a double-decker bus adorned with 10,000 empty takeaway coffee cups.
It might have looked like a piece of dodgy conceptual art, but it was actually designed to illustrate the vast volume of takeout cups we throw away daily in the UK.
My bus didn't represent all of them, though - 10,000 is the number of cups the UK gets through in just two minutes.
The British - like the Americans and Italians - are a nation of caffeine addicts. Walk down any busy street and you'll see people clutching coffee-filled cardboard vessels.
