Non-CP: who likes Starbucks?

ffejsGirl

I'm not personally a fan of coffee period. I'm a Coke wh0re (diet coke that is)

My friend recently gave it up because her H and her were spending over $300 a month there.  So it's just a yay or nay thing I'm curious about... shoot!

I LOVE diet coke

I like Starbucks, but i only get coffee from there maybe once a month.. it's more of a treat for me than an everyday thing.

Yay - but I treat myself about once per week or every other. I don't get coffee though - a vanilla cream (steamer) or maybe a hot chocolate or a latte if I'm adventerous but I don't prefer a coffee taste.

My H and I realized we were spending several hundred per month on Dunkin Donuts - when I realized this we both went on a weekly allowance and he bought a thermos and makes DD home before he leaves. He still goes everyday at least once but it's not as bad as before. I pretty much stopped going and make my tea at home only. It's now an occassional treat. 

Starbucks is way more expensive to me though!!

I totally agree! When I was working and doing hair I went way more often. I worked 12hr days and walked out with cash everynight so a $4 coffee was no biggie. Now I stay at home so it was one of the things I cut back on.

I buy the super yummy coffee creamers (Almond Joy, Cinnimin Bun, or Toffee Nut) and make my own at home now. YUM now I want coffee

When I was working I went to Starbucks every morning. I got a venti (large) frap and a banana bread. That adds up to $140 a week, but at the time I needed it to get through my crazy job.

Our Starbucks' here don't have drive thrus and it's so nut worth taking DD out of her carseat just to get a drink. I do enjoy a coffee coolatta at DunkinDonuts about once a month though.

I have heard a lot of bumpies talking about Dunkin Donuts and how yummy it is. I have never had it. Maybe I need to see if there is one local..

I had a $5 soy latte habit for awhile.  At the time I was single and waiting tables on the side plus working full time, I always had cash, so it wasn't a big deal.  I was getting morning coffee lately at a local place and spending $2-3 depending on whether I had them keep my change.  That habit was adding up to like $60 per month, so I started drinking the free stuff here at the office (they have a Flavia machine, kinda like a Keurig).  It's not nearly as good, but between that and packing my lunch every day instead of buying, I am saving money (like $200 a month total between not buying coffee and lunch).  I do love a Starbucks latte though.  I try and view it as a treat and save it for once a month or so.

I'm still pissed they got rid of the cherry syrup. The cherry mocha fraps tasted just like a cherry cordial. Yummm.

The only thing I really like at Starbucks is pumpkin spice. Mmmmm...

I'll get an americano sometimes if I am out and need some coffee, but their brewed coffee is nasty.

H & I go every weekend and get a breakfast thing and a drink, usually $15ish a trip, so $60/mo.

I know people rave about DD coffee but it's not nearly as good as Starbucks when it's pre-made (it's way more watery).  Also, Starbucks at least tries to be ethical in their harvesting & production methods whereas DD doesn't, and I'm willing to pay extra for that.  DD uses styrofoam cups too.  Who DOES that anymore?

I drink starbucks occasionally.  I make coffee every morning to have before work, and starbucks is just a treat sometimes.  I don't think I could afford to go there every day.

I go to SB now and then, but I wouldn't say it's regularly.  I like their coffee, though.
