Probably because I'm not a coffee addict. I go through so much coffee in a week it's easier to save by making it at the house and buy gas with the difference in price of a foo-foo coffee instead.
It's obviously a psyche thing, thinking if you spend more for it, it's somehow better. Which may be to a point, but not that much better for the price. That's why they bought out Seattle's Best brand a few years ago, because the competition was closing in. Now, they're trying to push Seattle's Best brand anywhere they can, because they knew they needed a Wal-Mart version to compete, while leaving Starbucks brand as the "premium" brand. Without the lesser brand bouying them up in this tough economic climate, I think there'd have been more Starbucks closing last year than there was.

I lmao every time someone says
"5 dollar cup of coffee". No they aren't. Last time I bought a cup of coffee at Starbucks it was 1.39 and was very good. It's the specialty drinks that cost.
As far as it being a 'psyche' thing and spending more for it makes it seem better, that's how I feel about a cruise or a vacation away from home. It cost a ton, and somehow we think it's 'Better' than being at home. Well, I'll take home thank you. People pay for 'the experience' all the time. So why not with a good 'liquid candy' drink at the local S-Bucks.
