*jake - Unfortunately, I like the "foo foo" drinks and they cost a little more. A large caramel macchiato costs $4.24.

I'm an avid coffee drinker and have never seen an iced coffee at Starbucks for more than $2.50. I'm not sure where you live, but that is some cost of living! The foo-foo drinks are typically in the $4 dollar range, i.e. Fraps, Lattes, Cappucino's, mocha's, etc. How much are those drinks where you live? $6-7 bucks??

If your data is accurate, then by all means, go to MCDs. If you're

Another vote for Dunkin Donuts coffee, but you said there aren't any nearby. That's a shame.

I think McD flavors taste too fake, I prefer dunkin.

If you really want to save money, get a coffee maker with a timer, set it at night, and you'll have you coffe ready to go. Cheaper plus time saving.

I have a long standing starbucks fetish too-- only I like my half-sweet, non-fat, customized starbucks drinks. I can't do the McDonald's thing.... but I'm happy you found a way to! :) Starbucksgirl

@ frank - yeah it is strange and it is definitely not starbucks but it's worth the price difference.
@ kimberly - I'll have to try to BK coffee but I dont have any really close to me. I still love Starbucks too and will probably treat myself on Friday's.

I'm not a big coffee drinker but my husband is and he agrees... He tried the McDonalds one and thought it was the greatest thing... He likes the Burger King Iced coffee also...

(of course still loves his Starbucks)

Wow! I don't eat the food at McDonald's, but there is one right by my office. I may have to give this a try...

Don't you feel strange with a 'fancy' coffee from McDonald's though? :)

I liked the McD's iced coffee til I tried the Iced Mocha BK Jow from BK. It's off the chain. They only have on size tho. A medium for $2. I only get that once in awhile. I actually prefer tea than coffee.

Bronx Chica- I like coffee from Mcdonalds, Au Bon Pain and Dunkin donuts are great. I'm glad your friend switched you from Starbucks.

@raj - Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I don't have any Dunkin Donuts' stores close to me.

@ i am fabulous - You are right, I cant believe I spend more than $4 for a drink.

Thank Gooodness I am not a coffee drinker. It appear as if everyone and their mama is on a StarBucks kick. I do, however, ocasionally partake in that Frappacino drink. It's tasty, but not enough to make me spend $4 plus a day on a drink!!!

Hmmm, I'll save that money and buy a banging pair of shoes...HEHEHEHE

2007-11-02T11:43:00.000-04:00

Dunkin Donuts' coffee is better than both! And its about $2 for a large.
