My guess on your coffee addiction for those two months is approx $350. Next time you are in Denver, I'll have to treat you to a great coffee shop a block from my house called Aviano Cafe. Since discovering it last yrear I have not been back to Starbucks!

My guess would be around $400 over the two months. There is a coffee shop down here in Colorado Springs on the south edge of Black Forest that has some great coffee, and wonderful ice cream. I'd be willing to extend Michael's free coffee offer to Colorado Springs. We’ll help you keep your addiction going without the cost, how about that? :)

Being a Starbucks addict myself, ordering a Venti Soy with Whip White Chocolate Mocha and getting it from Monday through Friday, I would have to guess you've spent about $575 or so!

How'd I do? :)

$326.97. Code Red all the way!

My guess would be about $200. I love Starbucks' Green Tea Lattes with soy milk of course because I'm lactose intolerant too. I also love their Chai Tea Lattes and their Iced Green Tea Lemonades and Green Tea Frappacinos, but absolutely no whip! See a trend here? :-) Here's to being a Starbucks junkie!

I figured I would add to this thread. I will reveal how much I spent on Monday, April 16th before I catch my flight to Billings, Montana. So far, there have been some very good guesses. I think I'll go ahead and add another hint:

The top limit is not above $500.

This means that Joshua will have to post another guess since we already know he's wrong. :-)

I'm going with $375.

59 days total figuring about $6 a drink with some slack for tax and other splurges.

Joshua: I didn't single you out. Just making sure you had a chance to guess correctly since I added in another "hint". Thanks for guessing!

Steve: This looks like Steve Alley??? Thanks for the tip on how to get help with my "Soft Addiction"!!
