I love fancy Starbucks drinks, but because I'm
cheap frugal I can't bring myself to spend $5 on a drink. Besides that, I can't fit into my "baggy" jeans anymore and the fancy drinks seem way too indulgent. So, for the past couple months I've been ordering a grande bold coffee with a shot of something. Like this: I'd like a Grande Raspberry Bold Coffee please! And then I put whole milk in it (about 1/2 an inch worth) and it's a great replacement for the real thing! This morning I got a Grande Cinnamon Dolce Bold Coffee! Oh my! It's yummy! Shane said it's not as hearty as a real latte, but whatever dude! It's like a third of the price and somehow better than I can do at home even though it's just coffee, syrup and milk.
I order the Bold coffee because I think it helps the drink to better resemble a real latte. Otherwise, they'll give you the Pikes Place roast, which is also yummy. I also use my registered Starbucks card because when you use it to buy a drink, you get free syrup.
And to show you all how excited I am about all of this, I'm going to giveaway a free $20 Starbucks card! You should be able to get at least ten Fake Lattes with that. Leave a comment telling me what your favorite Starbucks drink is and I will pick a winner when I get back from vaca!

What great ideas!!! I'm gonna have to try this!
My fave drink would be... NF SF DT Cinn Dolce!
great ideas!
My favorite Starbucks drink is the Banana Frappacino- a seasonal drink from two summers ago! So yummy! Makes me sad it was only seasonal!
ok, which one do I pick as my favorite...hmmm....I think its a tie between the cinnamon dolce frappacino and a sweetened black tea lemonade...YUM! I love cinnamon dolce so much I named my bengal cat after her!!!!
I love most of them, but alas, cannot really drink them when I'm pregnant because of the heartburn they cause. :(
Cinnamon dolce is one of my favs too! The banana frappacino sounds interesting. That's so sad that it's your favorite Michelle and they no longer carry it. And Johanna, oh! heartburn! that's terrible! but maybe a Starbucks after you have the baby will be the best ever since you haven't had one in a while!
I can't even remember when the last time was that I went to Starbucks. It's just not in the budget. Plus...$5 Starbucks drink or at least one yard of fabric. Folgers here I come!!!
When I worked at Starbucks I'd just drink a black coffee. But second to that was an iced latte in a grande cup with three shots in it and I'd only put maybe 10 cubes of ice in it. It was tasty.
