“Orange Mocha Frappachino!!!!”

But seriously, here is your savings tip for today. Next time you go to starbucks. Do yourself and your money a favor and order…coffee. You heard me right. Add some cream and sugar, and you have the same drink (more or less….I don’t want to hear it coffee snobs.) Seriously though, let’s say you go once or twice a week and get your standard, “Orange Mocha Frappachino.” That’ll run up to $30 a month/$360 a year…on Frappachinos! Throw a few muffins and a date in the mix (as if anyone who orders an orange mocha frappachino deserves a date) and you are pushing 500 bucks a year. I know some of you will never consider abandoning your “sweet concoction” but it is worth pulling out the old calculator and thinking about it as you sip on your “soy double shot hazelnut carmel half caf latte.”
