Narcity Québec discovered the hot deal while perusing the Les accros du Costco Facebook group, where a post on this subject garnered more than 500 comments. People are REALLY into these cups.

$15.99 - $23.99 Price of 12 Manna cups at Costco

The Costco version of the cups are by the brand Manna

They come in four colours — blue, green, purple and orange — all of which change shades once filled with a hot beverage.

A 12-pack of the 16-ounce cups costs $15.99 in Costco stores or $23.99 on the Costco website

Comparatively, according to Narcity Québec, the Starbucks ones retailed for $26.95 plus taxes for a set of five when they launched last May.
