Costa Coffee fans can grab a hot drink for £1 at 700 locations one day this week

Caffeine addicts can get their hands on £1 worth of Costa Coffee drinks for just one day this week.

One Stop is offering the deal in more than 700 stores with Costa Express machines.

The retailer is only handing out the cheap drinks for one day, on Thursday (March 21).

But keep in mind that you won’t find Costa Express machines in all of One Stop’s 1,000 branches, so it may be worth calling ahead.

You can find your nearest One Stop branch using the retailer’s online store locator.

Some shoppers have already noticed the £1 deal, with one posting a photo on the website Extreme Coupons and Bargains UK Facebook group put up a poster in their local branch last night advertising the offer.

Hundreds of caffeine lovers commented and liked the post, saying they would like to buy cheap hot drinks this Thursday.

One, tagging a friend, said: “Haha, that’s you, honey.”

Another said: “I work for One Stop and this is a great offer.

A third, tagging a friend, added: “We need to find a One Stop.”

The £1 offer is subject to availability, so there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to get a cheap drink at your local One Stop branch.

Maybe you should be quick too. One online shopper claimed their local One Stop had closed the machine before midday when the last £1 offer was run.

You’ll also need to head to your nearest One Stop branch to pick up the offer as it’s not available via delivery or ordering apps.

The offer is also not available in regular Costa stores or Proud to Serve branches.
