Learn why Starbucks closed 600 stores
I can tell you why Starbucks is closing 600 stores. It’s because no one entered my contest for the $10 Starbucks gift card. Thanks a lot, readers.
I still have the card, by the way. The first person to send me a saving tip that has not been posted here before and is worthy of posting, get the card.

Whenever I go shopping, I make a list and stick with it. That keeps me from buying all kinds of stuff I don’t need!
If you want to save money, don’t buy coffee at the trendy yuppie place to be seen coffee shop. Go to the grungy place around the corner run by the owner/proprietor who spent eight years studying coffee and roasts the beans he purchased personally in Africa. He will tell you about his trip, while you sip delicious fresh roasted coffee with real cream from a local dairy. Or if you are in too big a rush - the Circle K here has pretty good coffee for just 99 cents a refill.
I couldn’t resist, and don’t you dare give me that gift card because it will never get used
I keep a bottle of Dawn dishwashing liquid in my laundry room. I use it to pretreat stains. It works!!
Thank you for all of your great comments.
