UK: Starbucks 2-for-1 Christmas Drinks

Thanks to the brilliant Money Saving Expert newsletter, I've just found out about an amazing Starbucks 2-for-1 deal on all its Christmas drinks. From today until Sunday, between 2pm-5pm only, if you buy two small, medium or large Christmas coffees, you get the cheapest one free!

The Starbucks Christmas drinks are:

• Gingerbread latte
• Eggnog latte
• Toffee nut latte
• Praline mocha

They sound delish, don't they? I'm meeting up with a friend tomorrow for coffee, so I think I'll be trying the praline mocha.

What exactly is a Freedom Freebee?

My Debt Free Bucket List

A lot of us make bucket lists in terms of what we want to do before we die, but what if we created bucket lists around what we’d do if we were free of debt? Here’s what I would do…

1. Take my Mum on a Weekend Spa Break.

My mum has suffered a lot in recent years and it’s a shame that I haven’t been there for her as much as I would have liked to be. I know a weekend away won’t take away all the pain, but we do miss one another and we do keep planning to go away somewhere calm and chilled out for a couple of days; it just never happens. But one day I’d like to take her somewhere for a full 2 or 3 days of unadulterated R & R.

Richard Roam: Tyrrells, Firefly, Green & Black’s and Pulp Fruits Free Stuff

Calling all Richmondites! If you need something to cheer you up on this dull and gloomy West London day, I have just the tonic.

I just checked out Tyrrells’ Facebook page and it turns out that the popular snack company is currently roaming the streets of Richmond giving out free treats, along with their equally tasty friends Firefly, Green &Black’s and Pulp Fruits.
