Starbucks Raising Prices

You know it’s a recession when Starbucks is hurting. The coffee shilling behemoth raised the price on some of their harder to make drinks today. The ones that they make you feel guilty for ordering. “The price increases are as much as 30 cents on some drinks, such as the cold, blended frappuccino. Most items with increased prices will climb 10 to 15 cents.” But, for those of you who only drink plain coffee, the price will be going down 5 to 15 cents. Prices changed in select stores today and will roll out across the country in the coming months. Here’s a little in-store tip from us to you: If you buy a Starbucks gift card and register it online, when you purchase regular coffee with it, refills are free.
