Hello,
One of the popular ideas currently on MSI is Return to the 20% off drink during the holidays. There have also been other popular ideas about lowering prices and value.
Lower Your Prices
Happy Hour
So, I thought it was timely that I share our 20% off merchandise sale is happening now through December 15, 2008 at participating U.S. stores. However as the idea above calls out drinks, this sale does not include beverages (handcrafted or bottled), fresh food, Starbucks Cards, newspapers, or Gold Card Memberships.
Purely merchandise will be 20% off. This includes brewing equipment (could be a good time to buy the Sirena™ espresso machine), packaged food, tea, coffee (whole bean or ground), gift packs, music, books, serve ware (including mugs), and tumblers. This is the week to check some of your holiday shopping off your list at Starbucks. Some of my favorite things at Starbucks this year are:
• the Winter Wonderland CD. It has some Starbucks exclusive tracks. My favorite is Pink Martini’s rendition of “Do You Hear What I Hear?”
• The Traveler is a sweet story book to read with your family and friends with a great message perfect for the holiday season.
• Whole bean and ground Christmas Blend is even 20% off and this year’s blend is amazing.
• Many of you may like our new earth-friendly reusable tumbler, made with a minimum of 27% recycled material. It even comes with a free beverage.
Happy Holidays!
