Help Mom Wake Up and Smell the Coffee on Mother’s Day…For Free
A caffeinated mom is a happy mom.
Or at least so it would seem based on the specials I’m seeing for caffeinated products this Mother’s Day Weekend.
For starters, there’s the Starbucks/Teavana Oprah Chai deal at participating Starbucks on Sunday where you can buy one Teavana Oprah Chai Tea Latte and get one for your mom for free. Not only does this deal feature free caffeine, but it also features another love of many moms–Oprah. So, how can possibly go wrong? Unless you end up at a Starbucks that isn’t offering the deal.
Peet’s Coffee & Tea is also offering a deal where you buy mom her favorite beverage and get yours for free. The only thing I don’t like about this is that it makes it sound like you have ulterior motives. “Hey, mom, I’m going to buy you this cool thing…so I can get one free.” Why not buy one for yourself and get one free for mom. It all adds up to the same thing, but still…. No matter which way you look at it, you’ll still need the coupon to take advantage of the deal.
And don’t forget that Starbucks will still be doing its half price Frappuccino Happy Hour from 3 to 5 p.m. through Saturday, May 10th. And, as an added bonus, if you are a MyStarbucksRewards member, you’ll also get an extra hour of Frap Happy Hour, which means it will run from 3 to 6 p.m. just for you.
