Starbuck Coffee Rehab

Post by guhad122 »

This American chain is making me broke. I am addicted to Starbucks and I need a Starbuck rehab. My favorite drink:
Caramel Machiato with extra expresso shot with non-fat milk. I drink at least two of that every single day and the price is $4.00. Now calculating that:
4 x 2 = 8 a day spent on coffee
8 x 30 = 240; shit that can be a good monthly bill for my grandmother Xaadsan Qowdhan
12 x 240 = 2880 --> That can buy me an empty lot in Kismaayo for my future home.

I know many Somalis drink Starbucks coffee like there is no tomorrow.
What is your take on this?

Ismahan;
I don't worry about the health part of it because as long as your are physically active; in other words walk, jog, or do some excercise, it is ok. My problem and guess your problem is the money. We spending so much on coffee Walahaay. Educate me if there is any Starbuck coffee rehab center anywhere in the States. Laughing Laughing

Guhad,

Its the money and the health for me. I'm a health freak, thats the only thing I consume that is bad for me. However, the only thing I can think of is moving to a tuulo where there is no starbucks. Laughing Laughing Even though its bound to open one eventually.

I used to like the Caramel Machiatto, but it's got too much calories. I only get it occasionally

If you really drink that much, you should consider getting a part-time job as a Barista. Get one close to campus so you can make friends w/ your co-workers and you can stop by and get a free drink even when you are not working.


Problem solved.......and you even make some $$$

I like starbucks regular coffee, It's strong and the heady smell of freshly ground coffee bean is heavenly. Occassionaly, I will get a white mocha too... but just as easily I could live without starbucks.

hey Advo,

that's b/c the Ethios know they are getting a deal and the Somalis haven't caught on Smile

I knew a good Cham buddy who was a manager of Starbuck's here at the Somali Starbucks.

He used to hook me up alll the time and now he's in Seattle.
