Starbucks coffee is everyones favorite!


STARBUCKS BARISTA BEARS-great investment!
Some bears purchased at 9.95 have sold for over $300.00
Make sure -non smoking home, tags still attached and in mint condition!
Place them inside of a sealed zip lock bag to keep them in perfect condition!
Compare prices of what is being bid on ebay-when you see your bear's value has gone up consider a sell!


STARBUCKS COUPONS-I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING THESE ON LINE. MANY TIMES THEY CAN BE STOLEN BY EMPLOYEES OR OTHERS AND CAN BE REJECTED AT THE STORE. Coupons are given away to customers when an error is made or when a customer has had to wait to long...these can be taken or resold. *Just not a good idea.


COFFEE BEANS!
When buying a Bag of Starbucks coffee beans or bag of ground coffee make sure to ask the e-bay seller what the "Use by date" is listed on the bag.

Many times you could be getting a bag that has sat for a year or more!
The beans can go rancid! Your coffee will have a nasty bitter-old taste to it.

If you want to ensure that you are getting a fresh and quality tasting bag of coffee check the date, and ask if the bag is factory sealed, with the small circle on the side of the coffee bag that helps to keep the air out of the bag.

 *You should not purchase a bag of coffee that has sat for 6 months...it will not taste as fresh as what your used to getting in the retail stores. Coffee can go stale-or taken when expired from stores!

Also one more hint-many people think that keeping coffee beans in a freezer is the best way to keep coffee beans fresh for a longer period of time.
This is wrong-keep your beans in an air tight container in a dark, dry area.

I hope that this will help you get your morning "buzz" on.
I used to work at Starbucks and love the products-just make sure you have a great transaction!
