Do you have a dairy allergy or prefer to consume dairy-free alternatives? Depending on where you stop for coffee and specialty drinks, ordering a beverage with milk alternatives can be much more expensive. And every extra cent you pay impacts your checking account balance.

I'm not a big coffee fan, but once in a while I will get a cup, 2 real creams and no sugar.

I know there are a ton of coffeeholics out there, is this a big deal?

The only way to drink coffee is black with nothing but coffee

Who cares what Starbucks does or doesn’t do?

I see a local starbucks with 10 or more cars in line and I wonder who has the time to spend 30 minutes for coffee.

As well as who has money to burn paying $3.00 for plain burnt coffee? Much more for estrogen type drinks.

It was such a big deal that some celebrities glued their hands to the Starbucks countertops.

Lol. Still won’t get me to buy their overpriced stale swill. How hard is it to load a coffee maker with a timer that’s sitting on the kitchen counter?

Of course they’re still going to charge for non-dairy milk. Watch prices go up for all Starbucks to cover the cost. Pfffft... What a joke, but yeah, lots of people will believe this.

2% milk is 2.6 cents per ounce.

Almond milk is 4.8 cents per ounce.

Soy milk is 6.0 cents per ounce.

That’s why it costs more.

P.S. I know almond and soy products aren’t “milk.”

Yeah, I haven’t figured out how to milk an almond otherwise I would do it myself.

Instead Starbucks will just raise the price of all drinks 5 cents to cover for the Almond / Oat milk crowd.

First of all, it’s not “non dairy milk” it is a milky liquid substitute.

If it’s not dairy, it’s not milk.
It’s “nut juice”!
Appetizing isn’t it?
