Starbucks: $2 Special

I've been meaning to post something on this for a while, but today's "discount" finally did it for me.

As you may have heard, Starbucks has canned their DVDs and CDs. At a recent visit, I picked up Juno (which I have been meaning to see), and for Mrs. Big Picture I grabbed The Kite Runner -- for $7.95 each. They also had the new James Hunter CD (Official site, Amazon, NPR interview) and the latest John Mellencamp disc (Official site, Amazon) were also $8.

But the big thing that caught my eye was their $2 special. Bring your receipt in from any purchase in the am, and after 2pm any Grande Cold drink is just $2.

Value maximizers may want to go for the Iced Frappucino Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino Crème at $4.80 but it weighs in at 510 calories. Or, the Java Chip Frappuccino is 460 calories. I went for the Iced Caramel Macchiato, which cost less, but is practically dietetic at 230 calories.

I cannot recall Starbucks being this promotional since . . . well, ever.

Anyone else raising their promotions to move some product ?

$2 is still a ripoff for something that costs them 25 cents to make. only broads and metrosexuals go to starbucks imo.

Yeah, personally, I like seeing this company brought down a level. While every local coffee shop does a punch card for loyal customers, Starbucks held out.
