It cannot be any worse than their normal coffee.

Uh oh, Starbucks stock plunged almost a dollar a share today, from $10.13 to $9.34.

I have wondered for years (and I mean years) how ALL the coffee shops make it but I stopped thinking about that years (and I mean years) ago.
Because, all the while, my wife and myself "did" buy our medium (sorry, grande) this and non fat that, "only" several times a week.
and, we met with this friend and that friend, "at the coffee shop". And for work I met with this salesman and that salesman at which time I also had them buy me a ham and cheese pastry.
$3.15 here, $4.29 there. $21.85 if they were buying.
Funny how easy it was to STOP all that.
And now my coffee from Trader Joes lasts forever since I dug under the counter and ressurected my 15 year old espresso maker.
Too easy to cut some pretty good cash from my budget (and I am not even doing all that bad).
Wish everything else were so...especially the hooch.
