Except for the fact that this is about saving money, and babies eat money, this has nothing to do with babies.
How to Get Even With Starbucks:
I love the tea lattes at Starbucks. I do. But do I want to spend $4 for a tea latte? No. Not really. So here is my solution.
#1 Buy Tazo Chai mix at Costco. This breaks down to a box for about $4, which is about $1 a cup (plus your milk). Obviously cheaper than the $4 at Starbucks.
#2 Do you like the new Vanilla Roibus? I do. Love it. But really, all it is is Roibus tea, milk, and two shots of vanilla syrup. There are two ways around this.
a) Go to starbucks. Buy a hot Roibus tea. ($1.80) Ask for two shots of syrup ($.50). Go to the bar and add milk. There you go. You just made a $4 drink only $2 bucks.
b) For home. Buy Roibus tea (HEB sells 20 bags for $2, so for those of you reaching for your calculator, $0.10 a bag). Buy French Vanilla (fat free please) Coffemate creamer in your dairy aisle, and the milk product of your choice). Brew 1/2 c tea, add 1/3 c milk, and creamer to taste. There you go. For about $0.50. Seriously, tastes almost exactly the same.
#3 Get your brother-in-law and almost-sister-in-law to buy you a Moka pot and make espresso at home. :) A very yummy option. Get same people to buy you a frother, and you are ready for home-made lattes. YUM!
