Customers on the reward scheme also get access to exclusive prices on purchases as well as free magazines and even cookery classes.
But it means hypothetically anyone joined up can get a free hot drink and pack of biscuits for just pennies.
The life hack was revealed in one TikTok account’s recent video.
The account, which goes by the name @costoflivingcrisistips, regularly shares money-saving ideas to its more than 230,000 followers.
In the recent video, they explained how you could pick up a pack of custard creams for 30p then get the free drink on top, making for a cheap combo.
They explained: “Waitrose also sell custard creams for 30 pence.
“But the good thing about Waitrose is that if you’re a member you get a free coffee with any purchase.
“So you end up with a nice cup of coffee and biscuits for just 30p.”

The video has been liked over 1,700 times and dozens of users have commented on the post.
One said: “This is an amazing deal if you’re buying coffees every day!”
Another said: “(I) shop around everywhere and Waitrose is expensive but has hidden gems.”
A third added: “Didn’t know this!!! Brilliant.”
You can download the myWaitrose app for free on to your smartphone via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
You can also request a physical card to slot into your purse or wallet.
Bear in mind, if you want the physical card, it can take about two weeks to process it.
How else to get free drinks
It’s not just Waitrose that dishes out free drinks. A number of other retailers do too.
In most cases, you’ll get the freebies by signing up to loyalty schemes.
Greggs, for example, offers customers who register with its Rewards app a free drink straight away.
Meanwhile, Costa Coffee offers customers a free drink after 10 purchases if you’re signed up to its loyalty scheme.
It comes after the chain recently changed the policy – before customers got a free drink on their 8th purchase.
Starbucks offers Gold Member customers a free drink on their birthday – you reach this point after claiming 450 stars.
You collect three stars for every £1 spent.
Caffe Nero also offers customers signing up to its loyalty scheme for the first time a free hot drink.
In other news, we revealed the full list of lesser-known loyalty schemes where you can get free food, coffee and petrol.
