Woohoo!  Starting today (12/13/12), Starbucks is offering Buy one, Get One free holiday drinks.  I love these offers!  Please note that this offer is only good between 12/13/12 and 12/16/12 from 2-5pm.  You can choose between Caramel Brulee Latte {my favorite!},Gingerbread Latte and Peppermint Mocha. As always, I recommend calling ahead to make sure your local store is participating.

Thanks, Christian Clippers!

Just like Black Friday deals, jingle bells and credit card debt, Starbucks’ seasonal drinks marks the beginning of another holiday season.

This season is all about giving and Starbucks is here to help you share.  This Thursday (today!), Friday and Saturday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., when you buy one of these festive drinks, you can get another one of equal or lesser value for free. BOGO Free at Starbucks, now that’s hard to beat!

From left to right:

• Caramel Brulee Latte (my personal favorite!)
• Peppermint Mocha
• Gingerbread Lattee

Now all you have to do is decide on which drink you want and which friend you’ll slow down and sip your sweet drink beside.

What is your favorite drink and who will you share it with?

Sam’s Club is giving away free breakfast on Black Friday (November 23, 2012).  This breakfast includes Starbucks Holiday Blend coffee and an artisan pastry.  Yum!  This offer will only be available while supplies last.  Find a Sam’s Club location near you.

Thanks, The Freebie Blogger!

I’m a huge Starbucks’ frappuccino fan!  I love them but because of their cost I’m not a frequent Starbucks’ customer.  Plus, have you noticed how many calories one of these bad boys can have?  Upwards of 500 calories!  I would have to run about 5 miles to burn that off and if you know me, you know that isn’t going to happen in this lifetime. {I’m all about exercise but 5 miles and me just don’t mix!}

Still having a love for this summery drink of goodness I decided to play around and see if I could create my own just-like-Starbucks’ frappuccino at home.  I think it’s pretty close and well worth the little extra effort to make.  It only takes 5 minutes to prep and 2 minutes of work.  7 minutes is shorter than the 15 minute drive to the Starbucks’ drive-thru.

This recipe can easily be printed too!  Simply click on the green “Print Friendly” button below this post to have a hard copy of this yummy recipe.
