Starbucks Coffee Prices to Go Up 1 percent

Ugh! Starting tomorrow (June 25th), Starbucks will raise prices on some drinks by 1%. The price hike will include brewed coffee, tea, latte and espresso drinks. So basically,you’ll be out a few pennies which doesn’t seem a lot but Starbucks is already kind of over priced if you ask me. But luckly for many of us, venti and grande-sized brewed coffees, as well as Frappuccino drinks will not increase in price. Speaking of coffee, you can print six Coffee Coupons right now! 😉

Yay or Nay?

Oh boy! I love watermelon flavor everything, so I’m quite excited to try these. The cookies already hit the shelves of Target stores across the U.S. on June 10th, and are available now while supplies last. And don’t forget to grab this $1 off Oreos & Milk Coupon while you’re at it!

Kmart ‘Big Gas Savings’ Commercial… LOL!

Have you guys seen this? Kmart is at it again releasing another hilarious commercial (remember the Ship My Pants Commercial) for the very few of us that still shop there. The whole idea behind the commercial is to promote their Shop Your Way Rewards membership which can help you save on gas… or so they say! It’s funny when you think of the word that could replace “Gas” but nothing compares to the Ship My Pants commercial, I’d say. Check out their new Big Gas Savings Commercial here!

Thoughts? Did you enjoy it?

Thanks Emelda!

UPDATE: JCPenney will honor all FREE Orders?!

GREAT NEWS! Remember all the FREE JCPenney Offers (free coke t-shirt, free arizona hoodies, free women’s sweater, free bath towels, free pineapple slicer – all expired now!) posted on May 12th? Well it appears JCPenney WILL HONOR nearly all of the free orders with a limit of 1 per person. So if you tried ordering a 2nd, 3rd free item and so on, you’re outta luck!

Here’s the full email Neha received:

At JCPenney, we always want you to have the best. The recent $10 off $10 MORE2BUY coupon you received was part of that intent. However, that offer was designed for one-time use only. We will honor the $10 off your first order but any subsequent orders placed using this discount will be canceled. We apologize for any confusion and invite you to take advantage of all the great offers currently available at jcp.com. Thank you for shopping with us, and we look forward to serving you in the future.

Readers Jenny and Tiffany posted on our Facebook wall that they received a call and already picked up their free orders. If you’re like me, I’m still waiting for a call back to pick up my free t-shirt. It looks like JCPenney eating up their “mistake” to keep their customers happy and that deserves lots of props. We’ll keep you posted on any new details!
