I am on the South Beach diet. One of my favorite treats is the Non-fat sugar free Vanilla Latte at Starbucks, but I hate spending $3.34+ tax every time the mood hits me. This is how I save on my Non-fat Sugar free Vanilla Latte addiction:
- I go to the StarbucksStore.com
or by my local store
- Buy my Espresso Roast for $10.95 for a pound (1 pound = 64 - 5 ounce cups = .17 a cup of coffee)
- Buy my Sugar free Vanilla Syrup $10.95 for 1 Liter with pump (2 pumps per cup = .16 a cup of coffee)
- I already own an espresso machine. If you do not already own a capuccino maker, buy a capuccino maker through the StarbucksStore.com, Amazon
or your local Target or Walmart.
Starbucks vs. Savebucks at home
* $3.34 + tax vs. 40¢ for each tall vanilla latte (.17 espresso coffee + .16 for syrup + .07 for milk )
= 88% savings!
No big deal right..think again!
If you buy 1 tall vanilla latte at Starbucks once a week for a year, the cost is $173.68 + tax. If you make your own at Savebucks for a year, the cost is $20.80. It is the little things that add up! That is 88% savings!
Now whenever the mood hits me, I do not have to rush to Starbucks. There is a little trial and error, but in the end I will SAVE! To pick up more items to open your own Savebucks, go here
