    I suppose what you ought to do is work out how much each stamp is worth (1/8 the cost of a 'poncy' decaf latte) and decide whether effectively buying your latte at 8/9 of full price is enough to influence where you want to breakfast on that occasion.

    Or am I just being too analytical??!!
  • Martin, I will demotivate you. Have you SEEN what decaff can do to you? Follow this link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4444908.stm
    Does that help? :-)

  • As long as it doesn't change your behaviour enough to mean you shun a cheaper cup elsewhere then it's ok. As you often say with credit cashback deal "continue your usual spend" and reap the rewards.

    Cheers

    PS Isn't there free coffee in the green room upstairs?
  • Coffee in our local Weatherspoons has gone up to the horrendous price of 89p per cup but they do give you your 6th one free.

    buy the first 8 cups at your internal starbucks and save the 9th for when you at a real store!

    I never knew that internal starbucks existed, @ half price too!

    Any other internal stores around?

    Dreaming of internal car showrooms, jewellery stores......
