I am not much of a coffee drinker. But I love me my lattes. Recently I was listening to the Bro-rista Coffee Culture podcast from the Stuff Mom Never Told ladies and it was totally on the money, for me at least. I don't like straight coffee or espresso or whatnot but I love my sugar syrup ladden drinks from starbucks. I guess that makes me a girl? My absolute favorite would be a Creme Brulee Latte that I've only ever seen on the menu in Starbucks Japan but the Caramel Brulee Latte that they have in North America during the holidays comes in a close second. My regular go to drink is their Cinnamon Dolce Latte, tall with non-fat milk and no whip cream.
I have a starbucks lattee almost every work day (Mon-Fri) and how do I rationalize spending $4.15/day on coffee when I can spend half of that at Timmies? I buy discounted gift cards online to pay for my purchases bringing the average cost of that latte down to ~$3.60. I am a member of the my starbucks rewards program where every 12 drinks you buy gets you a free one. Based on my buying habbits, that brings the cost of my latte down to ~$3.25. I check my starbucks app to see if there are any promo codes out there I can take advantage of. Finally I walk to work almost every single day which would be a little over $5 every day I would spend on transportation. That last part is just me telling myself what I need to so I can sleep better at night but hey $3.25 isn't so bad. There was a time when I was even ordering short drinks so it would work out to be slightly cheaper but now that I am working, I get the talls. I am movin' on up as they say...
