He found out my dirty little secret....

My husband looked at the bank statement and found out about my Pumpkin spice late/frappuccino addiction. 

I have been so good for so long, but then Fall came and I could not resist. 

I was shocked to see that I have been going to Starbucks a little more often than I thought. Eeek. What do they put in that stuff?! I just have no will power to say no to it.

I saw on pintrest a post on how to make it yourself... maybe I need to look into that.

    I made it myself in my crock pot and it actually turned out better than sbux, believe it or not. I had to use a substitute milk though because DS has allergies.

    Um, recipe please?  I bought some of the syrup from starbucks and I add it to my latte at home, but it's not the same.  Wasn't it Liz that said that there was some sort of powder that they put in it?

  • No, I don't follow you :-(  I'll search for it on Pinterest.  Thanks for the heads up!

    My DD has milk sensitivity too. I always order decaf/soy. Do you make it with Soy milk?    

    Did not find your pintrest. Did find multiple variations of the recipe on there.

    Oh that looks divine!! I wonder if you can make it one day, and just reheat it for the next few days?

    Ginny, I hear ya on the starbucks! I've been budgeting myself to $30 a month for coffee out, and Mint just told me I'm already over my limit- and it's only mid month Indifferent 

     

    We're using Mint too. We just started it. And so glad we are! It has forced me to face reality. That was a big wake up call for me. I was thinking I had only spent $15-$20 this month on Starbucks. Shocked to find out that my grocery spending was way over the budget for this month already as well.... and I have been making so much from scratch. I thought I was being good. :(

  • I love Pumpkin Latte's but prefer them from Dunkin (free also helps). My addition to McD's on the way to work, just getting food. I look at my bank account and was shocked how much I have spent there in the last week. 

     

    I am going to have to find that recipe on Pinterest too.

    What is mint? Is it some kind of budgeting tool? I need one of those!
    I have been to sbux everyday for the last two weeks, I just can't resist!
