To celebrate the end of the year, [Bruegger's Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doublestack-egg-sandwich) is selling a 'Bottomless Mug' that allows customers to enjoy [free drinks all year long](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/financial-predictability). Whether you're a coffee drinker or a tea-lover, this mug is the perfect way to save some money on your daily drink order.

The Bottomless Mug promotion involves the purchase of a [reusable mug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-cup-giveaway) for somewhere between $175 and $195 depending on the Bruegger's Bagels location. The mug will allow customers to visit any participating Bruegger's Bagels location and enjoy unlimited refills of drip coffee, tea or soda. The one caveat is that only one refill can be enjoyed per 30 minute interval, so customers won't be able to enjoy back-to-back beverages all day long.

While the cost of the mug itself may be steep, customers who frequent Bruegger's Bagels locations a few times a week are likely to get their money's worth.
