Fresh Starbucks is never on sale.
It’s like Victoria’s Secret bras. The everyday skin tones that work great under a white tee are never on sale-
only the sparkly green ones go on sale.
Now back to coffee.
I saw a documentary last year entitled “coffee”.
It was not as exciting as giant dinosaurs in 3D IMAX but was very informative. It’s all about the pick, the roast, water temperature and the oils.
I’ve seen Starbucks on sale in the grocery aisle and tried it. Really Starbucks should just have the people pull it from the shelves-it turns to sawdust and resembles the convenience store road trip coffee whose flavour is enhanced by a Slim Jim or giant bean burrito.
My grocery, Randalls, has a Starbucks upstairs. I always start my shop up there. The oils come out and the coffee is as good as a barista’s. I always ask for them to grind the coffee for French Press. Our Cuisinart water heater heats the water perfectly to 200 degrees for great coffee.
The upstairs coffee is never on sale.
until now.
I may have found a way to save a little $ here.
