With each passing day it seems to get worse...

The convenience and price points get me.....
and I just gotta have that cup of joe 1st thing to start my day!
Anyone else have similar addictions?

I gotta have that coffee “all” morning. I use to go to the Circle K shops while driving to work in the morning and they have great coffee, some that are even flavored if you’re into that. I’ve not used the 7-11 because there simply are not many in the area.

Now I’m finding that McDonals has some excellent coffee and they even added the McCafe to provide some of the gotta have a coffee similar to Starbucks at a much lower price. I always enjoy the iced vanilla coffee drink there and it’s less money then Starbucks. However I never forget their regular cup of coffee at a senior price.

I will have to say that some of the McD stores are not as good as others but I don’t frequent too many of the bad ones unless I’m on a road trip.

I am an avid coffee drinker, but I always bring mine to work in a thermos. I used to be hung up on the Granny Smith Chocolate Cookies, but finally broke the need to have a couple each morning.

I use to go to the local mini-mart on my way to work every morning to buy a snickers and Dr. Pepper.

The story of my life. I will drive out of my way to a 7-11 to save a penny a gallon on gas and then go inside and buy 20 bucks of over priced items.

Well actually they have a pretty inexpensive lunch deal for those folks that want a deal. Heck I even hit it once or twice a week and thats there big bite dog a bag of chips and a big gulp for only $2.99........and I seen this morning you can get a 20 oz coffee and 2 breakfast bites for the same price......7-11 steppin up there game....

Oh how I miss 7-11 stores! Grew up with them in Colorado and my brother always took me there for a slurpee (I think that's what they were called?) My tongue would be blue for hours! Closest thing to them here in NY are Stewarts Shops. Just isn't the same... Now my "addiction" is a 20 oz. Turbo from Dunkin Donuts. Makes ya feel like Road Runner!!
