I HAVE to have a cup of coffee every morning when I get up. Then I usually take a cup with me to work and since the days have been so bitterly cold, I have found myself drinking coffee throughout the day. Therefore I totally convinced myself that I was justified in buying the Starbucks Gold. The deal is you pay $25 to be a member of the club. You receive a free drink when you sign up, one on your birthday and then 10% off each purchase.
Since I drink either the pike place blend or if I am really crazy, I will get a tall americano with room for cream and I always bring my refill mug (also a discount), I save between $.10-.15 each time I grab a cup. I say that I average one trip to starbucks a week. At this rate, I will have paid for my gold card in a little under four years. Oh yeah, the $25 is an annual membership fee.
Can you say sucker?
