Starbucks Special: 20 Percent Off

If you’re having some difficulty finishing up that dreaded holiday shopping list, or, in my case, starting the blasted thing, Starbucks is here to help. From December 9 through December 15, participating Starbucks coffehouses will offer 20 percent off whole bean coffee, tea, packaged food, and merchandise (not including hand-crafted or bottled beverages, fresh food, newspapers, Starbucks Cards, and Starbucks Gold Card Membership). That means you can get the “Comfort & Joy Trio” filled with three yummy pairings, like Caffe Verona and chocolate truffles or the Starbucks Breakfast Blen and dry-roasted cashews, for just $11.98. But it’s not just limited to coffee. Think mugs, tumblers, CDs, and even the Cranium Party Playoff for $15.95. Your gift list just got a whole lot shorter!
