I have to admit, last night I was so jazzed to get my “free” pastry at Starbucks this morning. But then this morning, there I was, comfy on my couch blogging away in my pjs, with my son snuggled up next to me and I just didn’t feel like making a trip to get a pastry and coffee. I’m sure I’ll be craving a blueberry scone all day (it ended at 10:30 a.m.), but I suppose I saved myself the gas and the cost of latte. Did you get a free pastry? I want to hear if you scored some good grub deals today!
I do think I’ll venture out this afternoon in search of free moving boxes (we move next week!) and the Toy Story DVDs at Target. . .

I got 3 free pastries, or 4. I went early to one Starbucks and got a cup of coffee and a pastry. While driving to a doctors appt. I decided that I didn’t like the coffee I got and went to another Starbucks to exchange it and get a drink for my wife (and another pastry). When I got to the second Starbucks and ordered my pike place coffee they were sad to tell me they were out, so they gave me my wife’s drink for free, my two free pastry’s, a coupon for a free drink, and as I was walking out they brought me a cup of coffee. I went back after the Dr. appt. and used my free drink coupon and got another free pastry. So in the end I got 4 drink and 4 pastry’s for a whopping $1.50.
I also went to Ben and Jerry’s to get a free ice cream cone, and went to Ivars twice.

My 5 year old actually reminded ME of the freebie today b/c she asked for a scone a week or so ago and I put her off to wait for today’s promo. :o) I was happily surprised that our favorite Starbucks did NOT run out of the “good” pastries @ 10:15 when we finally showed up, my daughter got her scone and I got my iced caramel macchiato. YUM!! (p.s. – did anyone see those DELICIOUS and SPARKLY looking cupcakes they have now??)

Yes, I went running over to the closest Starbucks before 10:30 Today. Kinda wished I hadn’t; I didn’t have time to figure out what I wanted with a big line behind me. I took a pecan scone—Yuck Yuck–too much frosting which was too sweet and Yucky. I ordered a regular coffee which was $2. I like Starbucks coffee, but regular coffee is somewhat bitter without the flavoring, foam, etc. Good thing, I gave a woman behind me a coupon—So, that was positive!!

No…. I decided a free pastry would ruin my work out. š

I got a blueberry scone to go with my vanilla latte…much deserved after a 9 mile run š

Yep ~ I sure did get my free pastry! : ) I chose a slice of pumpkin loaf. Wish there was a Ben n Jerry’s ice cream shop locally for a free cone. : )
