Coffee Story #1 - Starbucks Gift-cards now at Costco
I saw this sign at the checkout line at Costco (Oxnard, Ca).
"Starbucks Gift Card, Five $20.00 cards for $79.00"
I love good coffees (reference my blog entry). I always keep Starbucks coffee at home & at work. Along with Starbucks coffee, I have a few more different brands of coffee for different mood of the day (FYI, I'm not gay 
). I am also a tea drinker.
Anyway, I think $2.00 for a cup of coffee is too expensive. The only time I go to Starbucks (or Coffee Beans) is when I meet customers. The location provides me a good meeting place worth of paying a couple of bucks. Other than that, I will never pay $2.00 for a coffee that I can brew at home. Not to mention dealing with some phony people there.
Coffee Story #2 - Pumpkin Spice Coffee
I saw holiday flavored coffee at Costco the other day. It's "Pumpkin Spice Coffee" by Newhall Coffee Roasting Company. It smelled like Christmas. I thought this coffee could help me through the season. I was tempted to buy one of these at $7.99. But I already have about 4-6 large bags of coffee filling up my freezer space.
I should keep coffee beans in a cool room temperature. But, I don't drink coffee too much. A bag of coffee lasts long time - So, I vacuum and freeze them.
Honestly, my freezer is maxed out. I don't have a space to squeeze in an ice cube. You don't believe me? Look...
Let's see... If I finish that ice cream, I may have a space for that pumpkin Spice coffee.
