Ok so i love coffee but not just any coffee it HAS to be starbucks nothing else will do... I spend about 40 to 50 bucks a week on this stuff. It is so bad that i know where there is a starbucks anywhere in town.
the worst part is that i am moving to NY in a few weeks and there is a starbucks there on like every corner. How bad is this?!?!?

You should cherish all them there starbucks. I lived on Nantucket last year and there were NONE. The coffee out there sucked. I had a couple people fly to the island and bring me iced espresso in exchange for staying with me.

Actually- there's nothing wrong with treating yourself.
However recent studies have been showing that the chemicals used to create "the Starbucks" signature flavor is causing heart problems.
You may want to find a new favorite less unhealthy coffee.... There are companies that make similar flavors but that are healthier for you because they are more organic. If it's just the caffiene you love then there are plenty of ways to get the caffiene high you want...
You can spend as much as you want on yourself BUT wouldn't you rather spend that money on manicure's or massages, or shoes or a nice dress---add it up and you'll realize you could spend that money on something more tangible you want -- :)

That is way too much to spend on any food/drink item a week. I wouldn't pay a dime for their crappy burned coffee. If you really need Starbucks and don't want to spend a ton of money each week buy some of their packaged coffee grinds in their store or at a grocery store.

Sorry but yes its absolutely bad because it doesnt do your body any good drinking that stuff, Plus why pay 5 bucks for a Venti Carmel Macchiato..its just coffee with a glorified atmosphere and you can get a carmel cappucino from the gas stations for $4.32 cents less.
Its like buying a "pet rock"..you could go find a rock and call it a pet

okay, WOW grl, i just moved to NY too..........and if ur not in New York city, then news flash, there actually is basically NO starbucks!! Yes, spending more than 10 dollars a week on coffee is very very bad!! Pimples major, and you can get sick. If you feel like drinking starbucks, drink one coffee S-L-O-W-L-Y.......slower every few days, and eventually u'll drink only one a day............gd luck coffee babe!!

I don't think it is bad but it sounds BLOODY expensive. Cripes lady, think of that money going down the drain. A couple of years sans Starbucks and you'd have a house downpayment!
Maybe you should invest the money in Starbucks stocks instead... at least you'd get something back.

addiction only makes you a slave. you have to ask how much of the money you work for you want to give to your new master.
Being a slave for coffee is one thing but Starbucks is over 3 bucks a cup. you can make your own at home a whole lot cheaper. Master Foldgers is a much less greedy Master for thouse of us who are coffee slaves.

Here is a simple test to determine whether or not you're addicted to Starbucks coffee.
If you jump ten feet in the air whenever somebody whispers "boo!," then you may want to consider reducing your daily Starbucks intake.
