I drink hot chocolate at Starbucks, and a short hot chocolate (8 oz.) there is $2.20, while a tall (12 oz.) is $2.30. I just can’t bring myself to order the short when there’s only a dime’s different in the cost.

What’s even more annoying is that I think the “child’s” size is the same as the short, and it’s $1.10. But they won’t sell it to you if you’re not buying it for a child under 10 or something like that.

“Coffee, Tea or Me”…well, I usually choose herbal teas. They are delicious and good for you too. Roobius or black currant are great transition teas from coffee. Thanks Katy

sleep…..that’s that elusive thing we never seem to get enough of right! I don’t buy that saying “you can sleep when your dead” so I will take my short coffee and maybe some elusive sleep please ;o)

Money, coffee, tea…save even more by making it @ home while you’re getting ready for work! BTW-does S-bucks drip coffee give anyone else a headache? Methinks, their processing methods for the cheapo coffee are fouled up.

Love your blogs, you’re a very good writer. Fortunately, I’m not a Starbucks person and when I do go there, I just get plain old coffee.

I found out about the “short” option at St. Arbucks about 6 months ago and gave it a try, now I can’t even finish one. It is very doable(is this a word?) Of course it has been six months!!

You are right.

Bring your attention to the choices we are making.

Maybe just tea every other time.

Modify is good… a step to stepping away.

So CAN I have a SHORT glass of wine then? Or that would be inappropriate?

Glad I don’t drink coffee at Starbucks hardly EVER. But I did make the switch sometime this last year, when I do go, to ordering just a regular coffee instead of a cap or a latte and putting my own cream and sugar in it- cuz it’s way cheaper and probably a teeny better for me and I like it just as well, if not better.

Somebody asked me just this morning at 6:30am what we would do without coffee and I replied, “I don’t know, I guess we’d have to actually sleep or something crazy like that”
