Starbucks Promotions

There are plenty of Starbucks promotions right now! If you are a fan of their brand and have a registered card you can accumulate a lot of points and discounted Christmas presents!

We grind our own coffee in our brewer, so beans are a must in our household. Right now, in store (may vary by location) they are offering a $5.00 gift card with a purchase of Christmas blend coffee, whole bean, ground or they will grind it fresh for you.  Plus, when you pay with your registered card you get stars credited to your account. So I have been getting stars for me, coffee presents for my hubby and gift cards for Christmas stocking stuffers!

They also have their fancy mugs discounted.

Currently, until January 11, 2016, you can play the "Starbucks for Life" game. Every time you buy something in store, you can log in HERE, sign into your account and open a gift box with the hopes of winning wonderful prizes. Just yesterday I won 5 bonus stars that were added to my account, which pushed me over the 12 stars point, and I now have a free reward waiting! Woo Hoo!

Some of the prizes you can win are: Starbucks for Life, Starbucks for a year, Starbucks for a month, Starbucks for a week or 5 Bonus Stars.

There are a maximum of 2 plays per day. You don't even have to make a purchase to get a chance to play! Just go HERE, sign into your Starbucks account, then scroll all the way to the fine print at the bottom of the page and click on the link for a free play. 

I don't know about you, but saving money, earning free rewards & crossing things off of my Christmas list are all up my alley!

Ta ta for now...save money!

 

End of Free Coffee

As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I was able to snag one of the promotional mugs at Starbucks during Christmas that entitles me to free coffee all during the month of January. Believe me, I have been taking full advantage of it! The mug has already paid for itself, I got to try their new Blonde Roast and now I am sad that my unlimited supply of free caffeine is coming to an end next week!

Some days I even go in during the late afternoon for a second cup! I guess it will be back to grinding my own coffee in the mornings to satisfy my addiction to the brew!

Here, here to being thrifty!

Holiday Forgetfulness!

There is a lot to remember during the Holiday Season! Between juggling work, family, home and shopping is can be difficult to remember all that needs to be done.

Here I blog about savings, good deals and values, and then I forget to take advantage of them! It was late afternoon yesterday when I remembered that I was supposed to visit Starbucks to take advantage of the $19.99 traveler mug with free coffee during January promotion. So on may way home from work I stopped at  5 Starbucks. I already knew after the first stop that it was probably hopeless since they had a sign out saying they were sold out. But I was determined! I programmed my gps to show me all the coffee shops along my way home and tried to pick several that were more remote and might have some left.

My first stop was a Barnes & Noble. There I found out that they were not a regular franchise so they were not participating. Darn! I bypassed several on the corners of busy intersections. I doubted that at 6pm they'd have any left.  My next stop was a very small one in a strip mall, strike 3. Strike 4 at my next stop where I didn't even go in after I saw the "sorry sold out" sign through the front windows! I hate to give up, so one last try. I decided to go to Target where I knew they had an in-store coffee counter. Would they be like B&N?

I hurried to the coffee counter, no one there. I scoured the display and then I saw one. The elusive travel mug with numerical designs. Was this it? I grabbed it, it was $19.99 so that was a good sign. Then I saw the special tag around the mouth of the cup, THIS WAS IT! A girl finally came up front and I asked her if they had any more. She didn't even know anything about the promotion, so there I stood explaining it to her!

So now the big decision, who gets it for Christmas?
