New Starbucks Fave and Giveaway Offer!

From Starbucks.com
I have a new love.  No, I'm not getting divorced or anything!  I tried Starbucks' new Vanilla Spice Latte this morning and it is my new favorite coffee drink!  I am a latte lover at heart, but the sweetness factor in a lot of the flavored ones has driven me away from them.  Since I love the Christmas flavors (Gingerbread and Pumpkin Spice), I will order them, but with half the usual amount of syrup.  And, that is usually pretty good for my taste.  But, I ordered this Vanilla Spice Latte with the full syrup and with the sweetness and spiciness, I really think it is a perfect fit!  The spiciness seems to cut the sugary flavor of the vanilla just the right amount.  I can't say this will be good on my pocketbook goals for 2013, but I am certainly happy to have a drink I can look forward to when I do decide to spend some cash at Starbucks (or when I get that gift card that I save up MyPoints for during the year!

So, because I have fallen in love with this new latte experience, I have decided to offer a giveaway to my readers (and there are not a ton of you, so the odds are pretty good I think!)!  I will give a $5 Starbucks gift card so you can try the new latte in the largest size you would like AND give a coupon for a free Tall Blonde Roast drip coffee (for those without the fancy coffee taste)!  All you have to do is (1) become a follower via GFC (in the sidebar) and (2) comment below with your favorite coffee drink (or if you are a non-coffee drinker, your favorite thing to sip on during these cold winter days).  Let me know in your comment what name your GFC follow is listed under.  Even if you aren't a coffee drinker, you can enjoy something else with your $5 gift card and share the coupon for the free Tall coffee with a friend or family member!  Each entry will be assigned a number and I will use a random number generator to choose the winner on January 15, 2013!  I will email the winner, so be sure to leave your email along with the comment!

I have received no promotional materials from Starbucks for this post - I just thought I would share!
