Starbucks... on the cheap

I have to confess that one of my vices is Starbucks Frappuccinos. I can drink those like water. However, I am also a cheap bastard. The manager of the local Starbucks taught me a little trick that allows me to get my daily Frap and caffeine fix for cheap.

What I do is buy a Frap in the bottle for $1.25. It contains 9.5 ounces of the stuff. Then I buy the 6.5oz can of Starbucks Doubleshot. Then I get a cup of ice, which is free.

Back at work, I pour 1/3 of the Frappuccino with 1/3 of the Doubleshot into the cup of ice. That give you a nice full drink. Later in the day I do it again with one 1/3 more, and then the last third in the afternoon.

So I get Starbucks quality caffeine fix, my favorite drink, and get to stay awake for less than $3 a day!

I love Starbucks and a refill is only 55 cent. They have some really good coffee and I treat myself when ever I can.
