Whiteley Creek Homestead

 
During an online search for refrigerator storage containers to extend the freshness of my pastured hen eggs, I discovered these fun eco cups and just had to order a pair for early morning hit-the-road outings… a brown one for Dick's morning coffee and an orange one for my tea. They look every bit like a styrofoam cup from your local 7-Eleven, but they are not. They are ceramic with a flexible, removable, insulating band that tightly grips the cup.

 
The cup's covers are made of some sort of flexible rubbery material that are clones of styrofoam drink container covers.

As I write this post, the 1.6-cup size is on sale for $3.99 (regular price $6.99) here. Enter promotion code EMAIL30LNL for 30% off the sale price (valid until March 10, 2011). You end up paying $2.79 per cup! If you add an additional item priced at $2.00 or more (why not add a 3rd eco cup as a gift for an eco friend, breakage replacement, or when it's in the dishwasher) so that your total equals $10.00 before factoring in the 30% off promotion code, you get a choice of 1 of 4 free items. I chose the foam bottle cleaning brush. I absolutely love it for cleaning the jars that I use for my dairy culturing before I toss them in the dishwasher. It's a pretty lime green color. Although the eco cup's cap and band is made of non-toxic silicone, I plan to remove the cap when drinking from the cup.
