If you have Starbucks coffee at home, check the bag. I have a Vanilla Infused bag that has small print on one side that says if I bring in the empty bag I will get a free Tall (aka Starter Size lol) brewed drink at Starbucks. Sweet! Even better is that I got the bag at Amazon for under $4...and I have three more in the cabinet. I love a deal within a deal all wrapped up with yummy coffee.
While we're talking about Starbucks, did you know there's a Short size? Yes, it's smaller than a Tall. It's not on the menu and I don't know if all locations/baristas will give it to you, but you can ask. It's a great option to try a new brew or get a smaller drink for kids.
Oh, yes, it's a happy Starbucks weekend! Nov 18-21, buy 1 holiday drink and get 1 free. YAY! Two of my beloved Peppermint Mochas for the price of one? Oh yes I DO see Starbucks in my future!
Details -- offer valid from 2-5 pm on 'holiday drinks' (listed HERE) and free drink must be equal or will be the cheaper of the two drinks.
I'm always up for a Starbucks Challenge! Now they want us to come taste test the new VIA instant coffee. Ummm, okay. :-D They say it's so good you can't tell it apart from brewed.
From the site: "But don't take our word for it. Try Starbucks VIA™ for yourself. We think it tastes just as good as any cup of freshly brewed Starbucks® coffee. And we bet you'll agree. a participating Starbucks store October 2-5 to take the Starbucks VIA™ Taste Challenge. Let us know if you can taste the difference and receive a free tall brewed coffee for your time.* Starbucks VIA™ Ready Brew is available nationwide starting September 29. *Good on your next visit with offer card. Only at participating U.S. locations."
I started this blog as a way to share my Best Frugal Finds with my BFFs...and anyone else who finds the blog. Some finds will be national, some will just be local and I'll try to remember and tag those as STL. I hope you find something of value!
