    Has anyone seen a promo for reuseable straws - bamboo, stainless steel or glass?

    Hoping to make a statement that we are concerned about the environment in some small way.

    I don't think I have ever seen a promo or sale for resuseable straws, unfortunately. I did recently find a number of different kinds on the Pure Anada site (a Canadian business) last week. If you click on the heading, "Other Brands" in the menu at the top of the page, you'll find them. My favourites are the Glass Sipper straws - so cute!

    The Danesco smoothie (wide) silicone straws with a cleaning brush are $10.96 after the 20% discount at Home Outfitters. I noticed that the same straws are on sale at Longos for $8.99 until this Thursday. HO may also have the stainless steel straws but steel is rather hard on teeth.
    Danesco also has more regular size silicone straws with a brush too-not sure which stores have them.

    Walmart.ca steel straw prices: https://www.walmart.ca/search/steel%20straw
    And its bamboo straws: https://www.walmart.ca/search/bamboo%20straw

    GoodnessMe is showing a promo on its stainless steel straws https://goodnessme.ca/search?q=straws

    Canadian Tire carries one kind of silicone straw and one kind of stainless steel straw: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/searc....html?q=straws

    Grocery Gateways shows a hard plastic silly straw-the kind with loops and squiggles (I used to have them a long time ago):

    I noticed that the recent LCBO magazine had an ad for the GO-Sip straws (glass or steel) that (wait for it) had silicone connectors! Thing is, I could not determine from the supplier's website who actually sells that item in my area. I kept finding stores that carry products from the supplier but not that one specifically.

    I'd go gaga for the glass version. The silicone parts are the selling point-cushioning for the teeth against hard surfaces. Would love to give the straws as gifts to friends who live in cars due to commutes/or have to lunch in cars as there is no set lunch area at work. I know the paper straws have a limited usefulness once dunked in an open bevvie can.

    Just did a random type-in and Well.ca sells the Final Touch Go-Sip product!

    As does Bergo Designs: https://www.bergodesigns.ca/

    A Toronto store sells them too: https://www.cocktailemporium.com/col...ulti-use-straw

    For BC and AB residents, check House of Knives for the product (now on a sale price!)

    Canadian Tire sells OB and Necessities straws (pricing might depend on in-store specials as is the case at the Ancaster ON store but I cannot find the listings on the website).

    And Goodness Me has a Strawesome glass smoothie straw on sale: https://goodnessme.ca/products/straw...12655596011623

    Dollarama has a five pack of those hard plastic straws with loops for $1.25. Also saw Disney or Frozen spinner hard plastic straws (no price shown) that might be fun for home use but would be too bulky to pack into lunches or car kits.

    Home Hardware has 25 paper straws on sale for 99 cents in-store (saw sign at Hamilton's Westcliffee Home Hardware store). YMMV.

    Canadian Tire has stainless steel straws or silicone smoothie straws on sale for $4.99 in the current flyer.

    It seems that the Final Touch Go-Sip straws have not been restocked at Indigo. I cannot find anything by searching Go Sip but I used Final Touch and no straws came up in the results. Try well.ca for the Go-Sip straws.
