There’s a Starbucks right near my house. I would go there every day if I could, but there’s a small matter of cost. Every single item that you find in your local Starbucks store is expensive. I consider myself neither are a rich man or a poor man, but the reality of it is that if you’re spending $3.50 to $4.50 for a cup of jazzed up coffee every day, you’re dumping a mint into Starbucks’ coffers. I don’t know about you, but I need that money for other things. Namely, I have kids to feed and rent to make.
It’s not like I need quick cash from cheap loans; I’m doing alright as it is. However, to enjoy some of the finer things that I like (such as those egg dog scones Starbucks offers only during the fall) means that I have to be willing to pay. My stomach usually wins that battle, which you could tell by looking at me. However, they are so good. If there were an economic recovery plan that covered Starbucks pastries, Pres. Obama would rightly be a genius.
Ah, but look what we have here! This Tuesday, July 21, all Starbucks stores will be offering a free pastry to each customer who purchases a beverage. I know, I know; it isn’t perfect. You still have to pay for the coffee. When I think free, that’s exactly what I want — something free. But I suppose this will have to do for now. Perhaps it’s the next best thing, but only if you live in the 49 states that aren’t Hawaii. Apparently Hawaiians do not deserve free pastry. Perhaps this is because their weather is good enough or there surfing these two spectacular for free from crumb cake. Keep in mind that this special runs from the time your Starbucks store opens to 10:30 AM. That’s it, no more. Have a balanced breakfast now while you have the chance for a free Starbucks pastry.
