Maybe we should put the "buy me a coffee" plug-in on our blogs! I'll buy you a frap if you buy me a white mocha! :) YC,

However, I have been having the urge to down the Starbucks chocolate chipped fraps recently and find it real tough fighting the addiction. The cost has been putting me off so I do hope I can keep resisting till the urge goes away. :) Good luck to you too!

There's something about the thought of "drizzling caramel" that makes me want to hop in the car and splurge on the 'bucks, but I must stay strong. I will look for that flavor when I go grocery shopping this weekend! :) Maura Christine,

I am a total coffee-o-holic. I love it. I was up to a $10 A DAY habit for a while (2 venti coffees with extra shots of espresso) and then broke up with Starbucks when I left the corporate world and went into business for myself. It was a painful break up!! We would rondevue once in a while on a special occasion, but pretty much stayed separate for almost 2 years. After a lot of resisting, I learned to like Folgers (Carmel Drizzle flavor) - much easier on the checkbook! These days I go to Starbucks once or twice (sometimes three times... occasionally four times) per week - but I can control my habit. When I'm debating about buying something I don't really NEED but want, I ask myself... how many Starbucks would this equate to? Then I just lay off the Starbucks for however many number of days it is and don't even have withdrawls. Good luck with the breakup! I know it's difficult - I'm hear for ya! :D Christine I know what you are going through!! I am a total coffee-o-holic. I love it.
