Expensive Coffee

That’s right, I’m talking to you Mrs. Skinny, No Whip, Double Soy Mocha Late with a shot of Espresso. Oh yeah, and that will be $4.50. $4.50…for coffee?!? If you bought cheaper coffee and invested $3.50 a day starting at age 25 with an average interest rate of 6.5% you would have $240,000 extra when you retire! In fact, instead of spending $10 a week on coffee, you can use an all-new website called Loyal3 to buy $10 worth of stock in Starbucks (or one of 200+ other quality companies)!

Who are you kidding none of us here would invest that $3.50 a day for retirement.  We'd buy more guns!

Which, if well taken care of, will be worth more than you paid for them. The point is, I go past a Starbucks about a 1/2 mile from my house every day. It's unbelievable in the morning, how there are at least a dozen or more cars backed up at the drive through. Everyone of them waiting to pay $5.00 for a cup of coffee, and idle their engines for 10 minutes to do it.

I grind and brew my own coffee..  DD and Starbucks suck...

As to saving and being broke.  I was doing fine until some asshole decided to drive his minivan in the same space as my motorcycle and I lost the battle.

Now I'm part of the 1/3 that will be hard pressed to recoup my losses before I retire.

Funny how life gets in the way sometimes...my advice is to get run over by someone with some liquid assets and a pricey car instead of some illiterate douche bag from (insert euro shithole here)!

A McLaren would have been a better choice but you don't see too many in Cranston, RI!

Ditto this.







*Not a big coffee drinker, when I do, I drink what the wife brews at home (mostly Folgers or Maxwell House..... (WHAT?....yes, plebian, I know)......when I buy coffee at a drive-thru, I go to McD's... $1 for a large.

I never understood the starbuck thing.  Its burnt coffee at high prices.


Oh btw all of the drive through place s here have attractive 20 somethings in bikinis, underwhere or some other revealing clothing.   Now that I could understand having a 200/ month bill for, but not starbucks.



Oh yeah my gyms juice bar has 3 hotties working there in yoga pants and sports bras, they make a killing.


I still  don't buy either

DD is good, but as TAB says , Starbucks is overpriced burnt crap.

DD stores are only good for landmarks when you're providing directions around New England, Tom!

I tasted Starbucks coffee once or twice. I guess it was okay but I brew Gevalia at home. It's the only coffee I've tried so far that tastes good black. I order it online and it's around $7 per half pound. Not the cheapest but a long way from being the most expensive, and nowhere near coffee shop prices.

Typically use a Kirkland brand bean.  Grind and brew at home.   On the road, McDonald's is better than most "coffee" places.

The hottie servers haven't caught on here in Atlanta, unless you count Hooters.
