Buy a Frappuccino – Get Free Music From Starbucks

Summer is the perfect time to get yourself a cold, refreshing, drink, and to listen to some great music while you are enjoying it. Starbucks can help you get both at the same time. Buy a frappuccino, and get ten free songs that you can download from iTunes. I have mentioned many times how much I love Starbucks. I used to go there at least a couple of times a week, but have slowed down a bit lately. I have a wedding to attend later this year, and, like most women, I really want to lose a few more pounds … Continue reading

Hershey’s and Starbucks Team Up

Someone recently asked me what I liked about going to the Y for my children’s classes. My first response was: “Well, it’s in a great location! There’s a Starbucks on each corner!” Even my kids know what Starbucks is (although just to be clear I do NOT let the kids drink coffee–strictly hot chocolate or vanilla crème for them!) So when the latest news of a Hershey’s-Starbucks partnership emerged–I was more than a little pleased! The deal, representatives of both companies say, comes at a time when consumers are demanding premium brand chocolates. The products will be sold in retail … Continue reading

Starbucks Treats

Perhaps different from many Americans, my husband and I have never spent oodles of money on regular Starbucks “treats.” We’ve been married 4 1/2 years now, and until a year or so ago we had gone to Starbucks for a special treat only 3 or 4 times since getting married. When we would go there, it was a major treat for me, mostly, since I like coffee and tea so much. Starbucks was a treat for really only me until my husband realized Starbucks had other non-coffee or tea-related beverages, like Caramel Apple Cider and Strawberry Frappuccinos®. When he found … Continue reading
