Wanting Some Store Prepared Coffee / myLot

United States

January 17, 2021 5:48pm CST

Earlier this afternoon, I was craving for some coffee. Sure, we have some coffee at home, but for some reason I want coffee from the store. I don't really care where it will be from - whether at the gas stop or a cafe. But at the same time, I don't want to spend too much on coffee. I know, I'm that weird which is probably why I drive my husband crazy sometimes.

Then I remember I still have my Starbucks card that I received as a stocking stuffer which I have not used. So I went out and got my coffee without paying for it. It's still cold and gray out, so I did not stay out for long. Back in the day pre-COVID, I would have invited my friend out to have coffee with me. How our lives have changed with this pandemic.

I seldom have coffee outside home. It only happens when I go out with friends.

With this pandemic, it is harder to get together with some friends for coffee.

@Raine38 You're right but I was able to do it once with my friends recently.

I still prefer preparing my own coffee. I love our own local brand. But I do go out and buy some drinks from time to time. I love milk tea and I can't do one on my own.

I think it's the convenience and the special flavors that we do not have access to that makes these coffee appealing to me. Of course I cannot afford buying $3-$4 of coffee per cup on a daily basis.

You got free coffee so that's a plus. I like to focus on the good things, and not so much the bad. Or, Itry at least.

That's the biggest lesson after the kind of year we all had last year.

They're my favorite too, especially if I am wanting some breakfast sandwich as well. They have a good selection of sandwiches.

why is it that we like the coffee outside?

I have this problem too. But I like Tim Horton's.

I don't know, it's weird. My husband said maybe it's the packaging, so he got me those same paper coffee cups that Starbucks would use, but still I want their coffee, or any coffee prepared from a store.

Thanks, I did a mobile pickup instead of walking in. It was a nice short drive, got to see the sun for about 10 minutes.

I want a coffee atmosphere at home alone.

That is best for early morning, while trying to plan your day and look forward to it at the same time.

Sometimes, I have my moment like that too. I can make it on my own but I still want to buy it.

Isn't it a nice treat every once in a while? But of course I cannot justify spending $3-$4 everyday just for a cup of coffee.

When you get coffee from the store it always seems to taste better. My daughter and I will take a ride and get a coffee. She also got a Starbucks gift card in her stocking

I think it's also the whole experience - the chance to get out, go for a short drive, and interact with the barista. Especially during this time when we are mostly confined inside our home for the most part.
