Goodbye Starbucks--Heeelllllllloooooo Speedway???

OK--since I am of "the poor", Starbucks is just not in my budget--and forget McDonalds--their "McCafe" is sludge and just as expensive. But I have found a NEW love--and I am very surprised!

In a moment of complete exhaustion and desperation, I whipped into the Speedway on Conant to get some sort of morning sustenance. Did you know they have a full BUFFET of coffee and products????? They have a Double Mocha Capp. AND a SHOCKWAVE Mocha capp. ENERGY DRINK AS COFFEE--Praise be!!!!

I wasn't expecting much for .99--but to my complete surprise--it was GOOOOOOOOD. Add my Splenda and a International Delight French Vanilla creamer and sister is ready to roll!! There is a whole "condiment" station with every type of flavored creamer/sugar/substitute you can think of--HEAVEN!!!! No wonder Starbucks is in the toilet. Now, the snob in me still would still like to have a Biggby Mocha Mocha every once in a while--but this will do just nicely!!

So--in these hard economic times--I hope you give your wallet a break and try one.

I will forward this to my neighbor--he is the beverage buyer for all of the Speedways in the Midwest. When it comes to what beverages are available in Speedway stores, he's the decider ;-)

I tried the McDonald's cafe drinks and they do, indeed, suck. I will have to remember to hit up Speedway the next time I have the urge to go to Sbux and drop $4+ on a coffee drink.

Well, they don't have Speedway in my neck of the woods, but we do have Quik Trip, and QT does offer a decent mocha latte for like $1.25. They also have fresh donuts, yum. I'm trying to limit my trips to my favorite coffee shop, Scooters, to once every two weeks. Their chocolate chocolate-chip muffins are to die for, but if I get a latte and a muffin, that's $7!! My name ain't Trump, people!
