Ok, so now I REALLY have a craving for a Pumpkin Spice latte and for some strange reason want to go play with my daughters Barbie dolls.

I don't even like coffee..but Pumpkin Spice Latte....is another thing. I had a sample at our grocery store which has a Starbucks and WOW, was that good!

Auugghhh!!! They got another one!

Oh the humanity!!!!

 

[Sonya]

Anyway, I'm warning y'all that haven't tried the Pumpkin Spice Latte....

DON'T DO IT, IT'S LIKE HEROIN!!!!!


jk, of course, I am going to enjoy my new espresso machine, even if it's just with hazelnut flavorings...

Heh heh heh, glad to see you on the addicted side!

OK....where's my freap who explained to me that Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte is just pumpkin spice flavored..not pumpkin flavored? (I'm thinking it was Mkrop?)

YOU COST ME $65 TODAY!!!


I started craving one of those lattes as soon as I read your post. So today on my way to Walmart..I stopped at the Starbucks drive-thru . I had a GC that I had left over from teacher's gifts last year, so it was "free". I got a tall(why don't they just call it small-that's what it is) and OMG, OMG, OMG....I wish I had gone for the Super Size. It was so good, by the time I got to WalMart I had already decided to look at their espresso machines..

So I bought...
a cheap Mr Coffee espresso machine-$30
Starbucks espresso-12 oz.(WHEN DID THEY STOP SELLING COFFE BY THE POUND??? - $7
Hazelnut syrup til I found Pumpkin spice-$5

OK, so I stop at Starbucks on my way home to buy the syrup. I ask if they sell their syrups? Yes, we do. Do you have Pumpkin Spice syrup? No, Starbucks doesn't sell THAT syrup, it's exclusive to the store's products. (You have to understand now that I have finished my latte, and it was NOT my first caffinated beverage of the day..) WHAT???!!! I CAN'T EVEN BUY IT ONLINE??? No ma'am, sorry...



HAAAAARRUMMMMPH!!! We will see about that..So I go online and find a few homemade recipes (one actually had PUMPKIN in it ), and nothing seemed right. I did find a site that sells coffees and syrups, and they had a pumpkin spice syrup...so I bought 2.

I am going to be sincerely bummed if this doesn't work out..I don't know if I can justify a $4/day coffee habit...

Soooooo....how was your day??

mkrop, darling, you know I you!

I don't know WHO could've given you that information!! Aren't you glad you tried it though? Seriously--I think Starbucks puts a little crack in every cup of Pumpkin Spice Latte because it keeps us all coming back!

 

[Shyvioletisme]

I am trying to warn others..I'm sorry I was too late to help you!!!!

DON'T DRINK THE PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE!!!

lucky for me, I think it's nasty..that's right I do...I HATE starbuck's coffee..it all tastes "off"
But, I am a soy chai latte freak!!! I stopped by for one this morning, treating myself for my birthday! Luckily for me though, these are SO easy to make at home!!

 

[pixiewings71]

This is the funniest thread! LOL I love it!

To the PP with the new puppy, what a cute doggie!!!! I love how you call him a Dorkie, that's too cute!! Your DD is beautiful too.

And the whole Caribou Barbie thing.....can't stop gigglin' about that one. LOL

Sorry, I always get you confused with mkrop! Yes, I am hooked after only one cup!! I have THREE Starbucks within 2 miles of me...

You StarCrack-I mean Starbuck fans (me being one of them) are killing me!! !!! I love the Barbie's! I want to play Barbie too!

 

[pperfectmom]

HRH-not sure what brand of Pumpkin Spice syrup you ordered but I feel I need to warn you. Since my addiction problem began two years ago, I have tried several kinds and NONE OF THEM tastes even remotely similar. I still have amostly full bottle sitting next to my espresso machine collecting dust. It just ain't the same. And now you have me craving the real deal and I just so happen to drive right by Starbuck's on my way to work. I have been trying so hard to "Just Say No" since they are so $$$$ and now you go and ruin it for me.

I hope it's OK!! I can't justify a habit of $4/day on a coffee!!! I will let you know, I had to hide the espresso machine until I can find a place in the cupboard to hide it so my DH won't see it!! I will have to get him addicted before I can let him see I bought ANOTHER gadget/appliance!!

I'm sorry I jumped the monkey on your back again..aww go on..you deserve a break today!

Mine said, "thank you" and "Click here" for your coupon, so I am guessing I was one of the 50,000 lucky coupon winners!! That's OK, it's a $1 coupon.
