Sadness abounds, as I drank my last cup of Starbucks Coffee for a while today. I was lucky (blessed) to have received this gift in December:
For the past few years, Starbucks has sold for ONE DAY in December a tumbler similar to this. It’s price isn’t cheap – in 2011 the cost was $19.95 – but for the entire month of January, I have been able to fill up my tumbler with coffee, as often as I wished. It’s the Grande Size (that’s medium or 16 oz for you non-Starbuckers out there), so at approx $3 per cup coffee, that’s a steal.
I figure I had between 20 and 25 cups of Starbucks this month – positively a good deal and excellent gift. And now I shall be a little less caffeinated as I go about the next 11 months drinking a LOT LESS Starbucks. :) It’s a nice way to splurge and enjoy a treat for a short period of time, and I’m restrained enough to NOT pay the Starbucks price normally.
Don’t worry, I’ve already set a blog post to remind everyone who wants one for January 2013 to sign-up for Starbucks alerts in November/December!
Merry Christmas, early!

Oh, yeah – that’s my big sister right there … Coffee rocks! But I’m with you on trying not to pay the Starbucks prices – study groups require that I pay Jittery Joe’s instead, because they won’t let you study unless eighty percent of your group pays for something.
Not complaining for the coffee, but definitely feeling the prices! 
Decaf is probably our friend anyway, because caffeine makes us hurt. 
Cheers and merry Christmas back … I love you!
