How to Win Starbucks For Life

Well at least the next 30 years.

Oh Starbucks, where way more of my paycheck goes than it should. Seriously, I think of myself as pretty frugal, yet I manage to toss almost $5 at the barista who will perfectly mix me a skinny peppermint mocha, at least twice a week.

But maybe, I will be the lucky winner of free Starbucks for life, or at least til I'm 57. Man, that would be am awesome prize, but a rough 57th birthday!

This month, Starbucks is embarking upon their own version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's golden ticket, except if you win I don't think you have to hang out with creepy Johnny Depp.

There are 14 "ultimate Starbucks cards" up for grabs, from now until January 5. All you need to do to win is pay for your drink with a Starbucks gift card (or gold card if you're addict like I am) and then enter code on your receipt at the Starbucks website.

Important reminder, this month, when the barista asks you if you want your receipt, you should probably say yes. The contest started yesterday, and you can pretty much enter as many times as you want to.

If you win Starbucks for life, that means you get one free food or drink item every day for the next 30 years, which seems like a challenge in itself. A challenge I totally want to take on.
