I was sitting innocently at work at LMU one day in the summer 2010 when my boss /friend brought in Starbucks' iced caramel macchiato. I have never been a coffee person, but suddenly I was hooked.
I got a gold CrackBucks card in 2011. I should have invested....
Vacation crack
Gift crack
Photo bomb crack
Crack want a be
So, at over $5 a hit, and 400-something calories a venti whole milk version (with whip added), I found that a drink a day was adding up... Figure $150 a month and an added 60 pounds to me....
Can we say addiction.... And whole milk because flavor rides on fat. The drink is creamier.
So, I've completely revamped. I but maybe 2 a week and I make the rest. I've gone to 2% milk, no added whip, and a grande size (smaller).
This has cut about 170 calories and $100 a month.
Milk, caramel topping, vanilla syrup, espresso grind Starbucks coffee beans and an espresso maker.
My kind of happy ending....
Crack-ending...
