Starbucks is planning a big push behind its loyalty program, with plans to
double membership by the end of the year.
Starting in May, the world's biggest coffee company says members will be able to earn
points when they buy bags of Starbucks coffee at supermarkets. Customers would have to
go online and enter a code on the bag to get their point.
Starbucks Corp. had announced the move last year but hadn't said when it would be
available. The detail

Gonna get me in on that right now! Let's see now, which one... There's three right in my neighborhood... Damn! Two within walking distance, and one up the hill... And two of the markets sell bulk beans already bagged, or already ground!
Now I'm tu conphused! Maybe next time... Maybe! Hey wait when's this deal end?

May you live in interesting times...Considering that coffee can be only grown near the equator and you and I live no where near the equator. Every bean in a pound of whole bean coffee was picked by hand. It's quite a marvel really. Watching the TV series "Dangerous Grounds" shows what coffee companies have to go through to get coffee beans in the first place. It's an Indiana Jones adventure into some rough and remote and hostile and countries and govts and warlords to get to the coffee growers. The GPNW is swimming in coffee and coffee beans. Starbucks are the best at finding the best coffee beans of every kind of coffee from every place. I would have to say Starbucks coffee is the best you can find and put in your shopping cart. But....their coffee is several bucks higher per LB and it's worth it...but maybe your are only making coffee for yourself and not trying to impress anybody and maybe Seattle's Best that sells for $7.99LB tastes great enough. Thats usually how it works. Maybe you are cruising along on the "Starbucks Highway" of coffees from around the world and then something happens. You have to tighten your financial belt and coffee is a must every day. So we leave Starbucks behind for the best tasting "bin coffees" that are $7-8 LB. I think Uke needs to appreciate the situation more. Buy a LB of their whole bean coffee from whatever country you want, grind it yourself, and enjoy some great coffee.
