What kind of drugs are they putting in the stuff? We've been discussing my dumping the Starbucks habit (in my defense, this has been a daily habit of atleast 7 YEARS!) a lot lately and I keep saying I will cut back or will stop buying them soon. I drove there late this morning to get my daily fix and looped through the parking lot and left...but as soon as I finish this message, I'm going back. So not only did it cost me the regular $4.31, but now a buck or so in gas too! 
I really should have app'ed for the Starbucks card instead of the PenFed & Chase I just picked up, because I'd probably get more in rewards. I wonder if Starbucks is considered for any of the categories on my Chase Freedom? Atleast I could get 3% from that. Probably not, though...
I gave up Starbucks in order to justify spending money here, at myFico. Of course, this went out the window when I was on vacation. But c'mon, I was ON vacation!

I obviously didn't have daily access to my beloved Senseo machine!That's a good trade. Certainly more productive use of the $$$ than drinking it away! Everyone breaks the rules on vacation, so you're alright i think! Starbucks should have fine print all all their cups...

LOLOL! Very cute! I weened myself off full-fat mochas a few years ago. Today I'm a very boring non-fat no-foam vanilla latte. I have a 24 hr Starbucks w/ a drive-thru within 3 miles of my house. It could have been very dangerous.
Before I come across as sounding holier-than-thou or something I HAVE been known to get an iced mocha, 2 percent, no-whip. (I don't like whipped cream, period -- so that's one's easy.) Yum.
Can you also offer me a free pass from paying off my vacation? I think I should have earned double points for boosting the economy!
