I was just thinking today my Starbucks card has buy however many cups of coffee to get to the gold level where you get a few free perks.

Then I realized how foolish I was to buy anything other than the smallest size since I would have made the same progress for far less money.

Starbucks cards are great. My JP card only gives me ANA miles (1/dollar spent, so pretty much nothing) but in NYC... there's one everywhere, so I'll get my tea to walk, get to the next store and get a croissant to eat in the park, then continue on to the next to buy the paper. Maybe another tea when I'm about to leave. That's 4 stars for $8. Then when you get your coupon, Trenta all the way. And don't forget the free refills on your smaller drinks (you get one refill per drink).
