You can recharge Starbucks' cards, too. Of course, lattes and such there are much more expensive.

The other day we had a client (a middle-aged businessman) who we offered to get coffee, as we were on a run to Starbucks. He said, "what's a latte?" My jaw about hit the ground. How can you not know what a latte is, in this day and age?

Talk about your coffee money: David Bach talks about the "latte factor." I.e., how those little untracked expenses can add up and screw your budget. And how being conscious of that, and saving that money instead, can add up quickly.
