I used my Starbucks giftcard last weekend that I received for my Birthday. I got 2 lbs. of the Breakfast Blend because I thought that would be more mild than the other ones since I think that Starbucks coffee is a little on the bitter, strong side. I don't really care for Starbucks, but this coffee is pretty good. I just wouldn't buy it again, because at $9.99 a lb. I would rather have my flavored coffees that I like better like Swiss Chocolate Almond at the Coffee Beanery.  I got a free coconut banana frapp though for buying the coffee and that was good! I also had $6 left on the card, so I bought 6 biscottis and I have to say, I would definately buy those again!

For everyone who likes Starbucks coffee, Walgreens has 12oz. Ground on sale for $6.99 (reg price $8.99).  They have the house blend, French and Breakfast Blend. Limit 2. Sale lasts until the 17th.

Someone on MUA posted that Starbucks now has Pumpkin Spice frappuccinos. I think I also heard a couple of wks. ago on the B&B board on there that Cinnamon Dolce was returning. I hope that rumor is true!  I never got to try that one. I never tried any of the banana drinks. I wasn't interested in Banana Coconut & I'd imagine the other banana drink to be more like a fruit smoothie. I guess I wasn't in the mood to drink any Starbucks stuff this summer, but something tells me I'll be in the mood for Starbucks this fall/holiday season.

I love Starbucks in the holiday season. The peppermint flavors, pumpkin, everything.. it's amazing. I order the Peppermint Mocha all year round and I love it when they put the red sugar sprinkles on top! lol Megan - I hope it's true about Cinnamon Dolce latte!!!! That was really good, and I still try to order it sometimes to see if they can make it.

So are there any other new drinks @ Starbucks or any fall/Halloween decor?

I LOVE the Pumpkin Spice Latte! It is SOOOO yummy! It is just so autumny too, which I love because it is my favorite season.
The weather here today was so nice-- crisp and cool. It made me want to go back to college, or to a football game! I can't wait until the leaves start turning color. (Of course, I HATE winter, so fall is always tainted...)

I haven't tried the Cinnamon Dolce before so i'll definitely try that this year. I didn't even know there was a Peppermint Mocha until after the holidays so I hope that will also be returning so I can give it a try.

Satisfaction, thy name is Starbucks.  I treated myself to a Pumpkin Spice frappucino. It was pretty good, even though it came with whipped cream when I specifically ordered it without that.  Anyway, I enjoyed it, but I still like the PS latte better, and I almost got that, but it's just so ungodly hot here right now that it wouldn't make sense.
Love from Becky

Since Fryl mentioned she collects Starbucks drink containers, I thought this would be worthy of posting.
I saw some cute teal & pink mugs in the Lucy style today. I'm so happy that I saw Lucy stuff again b/c they didn't have any in that style during the summer. But I managed to resist buying those today b/c I already have 3 Lucy mugs (1 red, 1 purple, 1 sapphire blue) & I don't think I've ever used them. I'll probably end up getting those later. And Starbucks also has a cute naming system for their metallic colored plastic travel mugs. There's another style that has a similar design as the Lucy; its style name is Ricky.
