Travelling is good! When I went to coffee shops in Australia, I always took my own coffee mug (кофе кружка, термокружка). And I always got $1 or $1.5 discount, it's 300 or 450 tenge discount for me. Because coffee shops didn't waste (тратить попусту) paper cups for coffee. It was good for the environment (окружающая среда) and for coffee shops' budget (бюджет кофешопа). In Almaty I only found it in one place, it's Starbucks, when you go with your own coffee mug, it gives you 100 tenge discount. Everybody knows that Starbucks coffee in Almaty is good but expensive! I have a cheaper technique: Ask for freshly brewed coffee (именно в свежесваренный), не латте, не капучино, не американо, а именно СВЕЖЕСВАРЕННЫЙ FRESHLY BREWED COFFEE. It costs 700 tenge, with milk 750 tenge. If you go with your mug, it's 650 tenge. Sometimes Старбаковский персонал может забыть о 100 тенге discount, смело говорите, что вам в других уже делали и это политика кофейни :) потому что даже сами сотрудники не знают об этом! #lifehack
