Let’s not use this time to debate the quality (or lack thereof) of Starbucks coffee, the ubiquity of Starbucks stores, or the sky-high calorie count of certain drinks. That’s been done, no? Instead, let’s admit that some folks hit their local Starbucks at least twice per day, and that this promotion is a pretty good deal if you frequently drop 4 bucks on your afternoon fix. In fact, if that’s a daily occurrence, you’ll be $10 richer at the end of the week.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, you can now get free Wi-Fi at Starbucks — another reason to stop in for an iced latte. [via Reuters]
