Non-CP: who likes Starbucks?
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!

Re: Non-CP: who likes Starbucks?
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.
140 a week...you are probably also spending 3,000 a month on formula then?
lol, im just teasing.
Crap. I meant month. This is what happens when I bump after bedtime.
I'm still pissed they got rid of the cherry syrup. The cherry mocha fraps tasted just like a cherry cordial. Yummm.
omg that sounds amazing.
Damn...that sounds really good!
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?
