Pumpkin Spice Latte question

bc I hear about these things EVERYWHERE...I've been craving one and just got one

are they $4.50 for a tall/small (before tax) everywhere? Bc that's crazy expensive!

I normally get a grande (medium) and I think, with tax, it comes to $4.90.

yes and they aren't very good this year (at least the 2 I've tried weren't). I have heard that Dunkin Donuts coffee with pumpkin creamer is the way to go. Like a $1.50 for a large (actual Large, not small "Large") and taste a lot better.

yeah they're not that good. It's crazy how expensive starbucks is. there are so many good coffee places near me, I never go...but it's always busy there and they're WAY more expensive. WTF?

Also, I forgot to ask for decaf. and had full caf this am. so...wheeee!

Yes, they are really expensive! Crazy I've always loved them, but got one recently and took one sip and done because it was too sweet. Not the same...not sure if it's pregnancy related or if my tastes have just changed.

I think a Tall is $3.95 around here...I'm not sure, I haven't had a SB in ages! $4.50 is very expensive, though.

I know I got a 10.00 gift card and it didn't quite cover two gandes with soy milk.

I don't usually get Starbucks, but I really wanted one a few weeks ago, so I treated myself. It is ridiculous to pay over $4 for that on a regular basis, in my opinion. I ended up making some homemade pumpkin butter, and I've found that a tbsp of that, mixed with heated milk, some coffee, a little bit of honey or sugar, and whipped cream tastes just as good and is a lot cheaper and healthier!

I haven't tried Starbucks but DD's is good and I think I paid $2.60 for a medium.

Yes and even more if you need soy!

jessilynnwilliams · September 2012

I think that's crazy expensive too!!

I found a pinterest recipe for a knock off one. I'll be honest, I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know how good it is!!

This! They are amazing! Much better in my opinion.

They closed our DD and are in the process of building a new one -- it's killing me!

Personally, I don't like that latte at Starbucks. It's too spicy and not sweet enough for me. I LOVE the one from 7-11 and it is way cheaper.

I don't like SB at all. I think their coffee tastes burnt, but there is no SB near me. I like the PSL from Caribou, but actually the best one I have ever had is from a local coffee place. It's just a treat, so I don't get many. Even though I would LOVE to have one everyday, because I like them that much!
