Starbucks is ramping up the discounts Wednesday with a rare freebie giveaway — reusable straws — that could lead to longer lines at your local shop.

Why it matters: The coffee giant has been promoting affordability in recent weeks with a new value menu and more deals as consumers trade down to eat at home.

The big picture: Starbucks is giving away limited-edition reusable summer straws at participating locations Wednesday, July 10, while supplies last, the company announcement said.

To get the free straw, order a cold handcrafted drink, while supplies last.
It's available with drinks ordered in stores, the company's app and Starbucks delivery on DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub.

State of play: Starbucks doesn't give away free items often. Its main giveaway is in November for its annual Red Cup Day, which many consider the start of the holiday season.
