    I'm sorry for promoting this company but I was just thinking about how busy we were today at work. So I'm curious! How often do you bee's go to Starbucks (or other coffee shops)

    I love Starbucks.  I work right next to one, and my little sister works at one in our hometown!

    On average, I got 3-5 times a week.  Same drink everyday, Venti Caramel Vanilla Latte with Whipped Cream and Caramel Drizzle.  I even got the gift card that I reload so that I accumulate points and get free stuff!

    I actually don't go unless I'm visiting my brother who works at a Starbucks.  But I don't really have one near my work, work a weird night shift, and I'm strange and don't like coffee at all.  I used to go maybe once a week to get hot chocolate or something like a muffin or cupcake when I was still in college last year though since there was one on campus.  

    ETA: I will add too that another reason I went while in college was because I had money on my student ID/card that my parents had put on there that I needed to use before I graduated.  I probably wouldn't be able to afford it now even if I liked coffee (although sometimes my brother buys me a cupcake still when I go visit him).

    I go like once a month... maybe twice a month. That's what I treat myself with if I'm having a bad day.   I used to go once a week but it got expensive.

    You don't have a 0 option. I think starbucks is wayyyyyy over priced. So I never go there. Maybe once every 4 months or something, if thats the only place nearby. But if I'm jonesing for a mocha, I'd rather hit up timmys, I can get a medium mocha with a shot of espresso for less than half the price as starbucks.

    I don't drink coffee but FI LOVES Starbucks so we normally stop at the one by work 3 times a week or so. Infact, I was just at Starbucks today getting him ground coffee for the Keurig filter that I bought for him for Christmas. No offense, but it gets very expensive when you go multiple times a week. We always walk out with his coffee, my hot chocolate and some kind of goodies for breakfast to the tune of atleast $10 a pop.

    @UpstateCait: Girl I know! When I first started working there I was a little embarrassed with the prices and whenever they go up again I hate it but there isn't anything I can do. There are so so so many people that come every day of the week. I know someone that comes twice a day at the tune of like $6 a DRINK and there is two of them!

    I've been to Starbucks maybe once in my entire life...I hate coffee and hot drinks, though. (I'm still not seeing the "0" option on the poll, either.)

    @Miss Tattoo: OMG $2500?!?!

    @SweetRose2011: Yea, its crazy. I'm sure if you could lower the prices, you would! Thats the reason I got him the Keurig filter and Starbucks coffee for Christmas. I know it wont be the same as getting his cafe mocha but hopefully this will help us to save us a few bucks.

    In the winter/during finals I average 5 days a week. But I hate coffee, I only drink venti non-fat chai tea lattes :)

    Any other time of year I get it maybe once a week.

    well considering that starbucks is pretty much the only place near my school's library that actually carries edible things, i have to say 5 times a week sometimes with multiple visits per day (and this only increases during exams!).

    I'm actually saddened by this fact cause thats where all my money goes & they don't quite have healthy food, just delicious fatty snacks & desserts. damn you starbucksssssss (shakes fist) if only you weren't SO addicting!!!

    mmmm Starbucks. Totally want some now, haha. I go on average maaaaybe once a week, and really only days when I have to be at work super early (I am no morning person and having to BE at work at 7a is too early for me) and need a wake up. I vary between only two drinks- hot chocolate or a mocha frapp (much more common.) yumm.

    That lovely yummy stuff adds up quickly when you are spending about $10 a day every day. Yeah...it didn't seem like much until I broke it down over a long term period. At least giving it up cuts out calories and basically pays for my catering. lol

    I rarely drink coffee, and when I do, it's usually a latte.  I visit Starbucks (or a similar place) about once a month.  My daily drink at work and home is tea, and I have a huge collection so I rarely go out for to buy it from a coffee shop.  Plus it saves me tons of money!

    I'm originally from Boston, so I have to stay loyal to my Dunkin Donuts Coffee, however, in DC I maybe went to Starbucks once every month, not a big fan for some reason. 

    Surprise, Surprise, there's no Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks here in Iraq; however, there's a Green Beans, and I LOVE IT!!  I get a "frozen hot chocolate" every day... :)

    I just went this week but hadnt set foot in a Starbucks in about 2 months.  I am a Coffee Bean girl.  I drive past 4 Starbucks to get to the nearest Coffee Bean.  I do love Starbucks pasteries way better but drinks are better at Coffee Bean

    I really love the taste of coffee, but am not a big fan of Starbucks.  I only go there when there's no other coffee shop around, or if the only other coffee shop in town manages to suck even more (ie, my hometown). Their espresso-based drinks are really expensive and taste bitter and lacking in flavor to me.  Their drip coffees always seem watery to me.  I probably get coffee about 3x a week, but Starbucks once a week or less. It really depends on where I am.  Some weeks I get coffee just about ever day.

    I don't like Starbucks ever since FI worked at Caribou for a while. Now if I get Starbucks it tastes stale and yucky. =[
    Lately, though, we never go to coffee shops. Too expensive.

    I like my coffee boring and black, so I always make it at home, but I love Starbuck's hot chocolate :). I only go a few times a year, but it's nice when I do :).

    I go to Starbucks a lot, but I always get brewed tea or coffee.  My job requires a lot of traveling and I don't have an office (so I can't make these easy drinks myself between clients).  I know it's expensive, but a hot cup of tea feels so good halfway through a 14-hour day!!

    (years ago, I worked for Starbucks and I'm STILL tired of their pastries, so they don't pose much temptation to me)

    Am I the only one who does work in coffee shops a lot?  Libraries are so bright and quiet and still that they tend to make me fall asleep, and I need wifi, so coffee shops are my go-to place.

    Zero.  I make coffee at home if I want it.  Very occasionally, (2-3 times a year), I will meet someone for coffee somewhere.  I'm actually doing that today!
