I’ve been consuming too much Starbuck’s since arriving here Stateside. Every morning, I get all twittery walking into the ‘Buck’s and ordering a grande, non-fat latte. The first sip makes my heart happy. It costs half of what it does in CH, where we only buy one a week, if we’re lucky. I even get myself a Greek yogurt parfait, and my whole breakfast STILL costs less than a single grande, non-fat latte back yonder.
That being said – fun, green tip! Save your Starbuck’s sleeves. I re-use them whenever I go back. They’re pretty durable and have a decent lifespan. I can usually get a month or so out of them before I get a new one, and this is even during heavy consumption times. It’s a small little thing you can do to help benefit Momma Earth.
I *love* the ease and abundance of Starbucks when I’m back in the US, too! When I was in Switzerland in 06-07, I had a terrible afternoon in Bern that was rescued by the discovery of a Starbucks. A little slice of home right here in Switzerland. Great post! Definitely made me smile.
