Every Friday for I want to say the past year, I have a date with my sister-in-law at our local Starbucks. See we both have kids close in age, we both have twins and we both just need a break some time. So for an hour and a half we sit and relax in those comfy, cushioned chairs at Starbucks. It is wonderful. (P.S. Please don't sit in our chairs unless you want to get evil stares from 2 mom's all night).
This Friday, April 22, 2011 is Earth Day and if you bring you travel mug into a participating Starbucks location (US and Canada) they will fill it for free with tea or brewed coffee. Hot or iced. If you don't own a reusable travel mug {gasp} all of theirs will be 20% off. So as a bonus for us, we get to enjoy our coffee for free this week! I'm looking forward to bringing in my stainless steel mug and filling it with some hot decaf coffee.
On side note, anytime you visit a Starbucks and are going to enjoy your coffee there, ask for a ceramic "to stay" mug instead of a paper mug. This will help reduce waste and you simply bring it back to the counter when you are finished.

I've developed a dangerous new coffee addiction. LOL (I survived 37 years without the stuff, but it's over.)
ReplyDeleteI have sat inside a Starbucks on a few occasions to drink and snack and NEVER thought to ask for a mug. I will next time! good idea
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that could be better than Starbucks is FREE Starbucks! Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteSounds like I might need to go to Starbucks tomorrow for a free coffee. Thanks for sharing.
