| Your bucks for coffee with prices as high as the stars! |
Begin by listing three things daily for which you are grateful! In fact, I challenge you to join me in taking Ann Voskamp's "Joy Dare" this year!!! To check it out click on this link:

So today is a bit of fun for all you Starbucks addicts out there! While I will be the FIRST to tell you that I only buy a Green Tea Latte' on a major league splurge (we're talking birthdays and maybe once or twice outside that day), I do think they make good coffee.
That being said, I frankly thing their prices are beyond re-DUNK-ulous and any fabulously frugal diva will agree. In fact, several years ago I was doing a bit of financial coaching with a young lady who went to Starbucks every day, 24/7/365. She never made coffee at home. We figured out she was spending over $1,200 a year on coffee! That's an expensive caffeine habit, yes? That's one thousand two hundred dollars - and no sense whatsoever!!!!
But... be that as it may... here's a frugal way to indulge just for you. This Friday, you can buy one of their "handcrafted" liquid gold beverages (handcrafted? what are we, an artisan flea market? pluuueezzee) and get another one for free. Great... two coffees for the price of one (which still means you could get about 3-4 anywhere else, or a whole pound of beans at the store).
And be careful - the price ain't the only costly thing -- remember you can gulp down a half-day's calories with one grando biggo extra fat super foam gi-gundo mocca caramel whoop-de-doozie.
Just sayin'...
Here's your financial challenge for February -- if you are a Starbucks addict, I challenge you to add up how much of your HARD-EARNED money you are lining their pockets with for the rest of this month. And I also challenge you to use ONLY CASH to pay for that... yes, let Mr. Lincoln slip out of your fist each morning (or afternoon or evening... whenever you are getting your "fix"). Let's make this a little more real, shall we?
Here's the link for more info - enjoy!
