Pret a Manger Subscription – The £30 coffee subscription – Worth it?

Let’s check out Pret’s coffee subscription in detail today. The Club Pret costs £30 in 2023 with the first month being half price (£15). You can also get 20% off from the menu (this however doesn’t work with the already discounted items). Would you pay £30 for this membership? It doesn’t look as bad at first if you are spending a lot of money in coffee shops. If you are trying to save money every subscription counts, and this amount can be a heavy cost by the end of the year, 1x £15 + 11x £30 = £345.

Key Takeaways
  • Club Pret subscription costs £30 a month, first month is only £15 (worth testing it out)
  • You also get 20% off the entire menu as a subscriber
  • You can cancel it at any time in the app
  • Cannot be used with home delivery services

Club Pret Subscription Monthly Breakdown

If you want to be a Club Pret member, you can download their app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Then you have to create an account, add your payment details and your subscription will start.

With this subscription service, you can get five drinks a day, which can be hot drinks such as coffee, hot chocolate and tea or iced drinks such as smoothies, shakers or coolers.

Pret a Manger is one of the biggest chains in the U.K. If you work in the city you can find one within a very short distance. Pret coffee is also big, and they use 100% Arabica organic coffee.

So When is it Worth Signing Pp for Club Pret? Is It Good Value for Money?

Let’s check a situation: you work in the city, travel to work every weekday, and there is a Pret near your work or by the station you take the train/tube/bus.

In this case, you will get at least five hot drinks a week. A cappuccino costs let’s say £3.50. Five times a week x four weeks equals 20 cappuccinos, which is 20x £3.50 = £70 So in this case it’s worth using the Club Pret subscription as you can save at least 40 pounds a month.

Is It Easy to Cancel? 

Yes, it is very easy to cancel your monthly subscription with Pret. Just open your app, and pause/cancel the subscription. Once this is done you will also lose your 20% discount at the store.

Can I Use My Club Pret with Deliveroo, Uber or Just Eat?

No, you cannot use the Club Pret with home delivery services, unfortunately.

Can You Afford Club Pret?

If you are thinking of getting this membership you have to consider your financial status. Usually, a £30 subscription won’t break the bank, but you have to be cautious! As you see in the intro, this membership will cost you £345 for the first year, and £360 for the second year.

30 pounds doesn’t sound bad for a month, as most of our subscriptions are around this amount, such as Discovery+ (TNT Sports) or the internet provider. But you need to be careful!

  • First, you need to make sure that you have paid all your bills.
  • Second, you need to make sure that you are saving x amount from your monthly income.
  • Third, you should be also investing x amount from your income.
  • Then, once all these are sorted you can think about extra membership costs.

If you are coming up short, then don’t take the coffee subscription. You will be fine without it. Make a budget and see if you can afford a coffee once in a while.
