Is Club Pret actually worth £30 a month?
£30 a month, up to five drinks a day. On paper, two drinks a week and you're square. Reality: people sub up, start ordering coffee they wouldn't have, end up a tenner down without noticing. Tap your real numbers below.

How the maths works
Club Pret is £30 a month flat. A flat white is roughly £4.20. So on paper you break even at £30 ÷ (£4.20 × 4.33 weeks) — about 2 drinks a week. Easy, right? Until you factor in weekends, holiday, WFH days, and the week you were ill.
Here's the catch nobody mentions: the sub changes your behaviour. People who weren't drinking coffee daily start drinking it daily because it feels free. Once you account for that creep, the real-world break-even sits closer to 5 drinks a week, every week. Below that and you're quietly feeding Pret a tenner a month.
The premium tier (£35) only makes sense if you're already buying a Pret sandwich most days. Grab lunch from Tesco like a normal person? The food discount does nothing.
