El Niño is messing with us. Whether your weather is running weirdly hot or punishingly cold, chances are you can use a little treat. That’s why I’m giving away $10 worth of Starbucks gift cards.
If the winner lives in subzero territory it’s time for a steaming coffee, chai or hot chocolate. Maybe a second one, too, to pour over his or her frozen toes.
And if you’re walking around in shorts and a T-shirt in Philly or New York? Further the “hey, it’s spring already!” illusion with a fancy iced drink. (Or hang on to it for the inevitable return of cold-and-damp days, when you’ll really need a little consolation.)
You could also be a nice person and give the card away to a relative or friend. Myself, I’d recommend being really nice to yourself in the winter. Bonus frugal points if you save your savings, i.e., set aside $10 cash in exchange for the $10 in buying power you now have.
First, of course, you have to win. To enter:

Note: A winner from outside the United States will receive an Amazon gift card in lieu of Starbucks scrip.
Sounds like a nice treat! We’re freezing here! Thanks!
A hot chocolate would be a great treat – it’s even chilly here in South Carolina!
Hot chocolate sounds great! Follow on Facebook and email.
We are freezing here in PA too. Thanks for the great giveaway. Its so very nice of you. Take care and keep warm!
This would pay for the entertainment on a much needed date for my husband and I (taken after dropping kids at school/before he hates to work to save on a sitter)

Funny, I was just going to hop on over to pay you a compliment on your article on Get Rich Slowly. You’re the best contributor they’ve got! I thought your suggestions for starting/funding an EF were spot-on and found the article very interesting, despite the fact that I’m doing fine in the EF department, thank goodness.
Well, thank you.
Starbucks mobile order has changed my commute. I’d love to win!
I’d love some hot chocolate right now. Freezing here in Chicago!

A gift card right about now sounds perfect. Around here it would be to combat the midwinter doldrums, and maybe an after-calculus reward treat. Class starts tomorrow!

16* at midnight in Maryland and just 10* where my son goes to school in Pennsylvania. He loves Starbucks hot chocolate and I love flat white etc. Would be nice to share a drink fueled by a giftcard next time we see him.

Sounds great!

We’re on the cold end of it. I’d probably give the coffee to a friend, but only after I held the cup for a couple minutes to warm my hands up.
It’s less about the weather and more about the caffeine for me, but I’d love some Starbucks!
Its cold and rainy here – Coffee sounds great!

I could go for a free latte! Because you know, based on the “latte factor”, I never get Starbucks, but make coffee at home! Being frugal rocks!
Hot coffee is my fuel in the winter and tastes so yummy! Even have my own starbucks cup so can help environment with refills 🙂

Hello from your former home, the Seattle area. It’s actually not raining today and I could get the mail without a coat on. That was fun 😉 My teenage son loves Starbucks so that’s the treat he chooses when a treat is called for…Thanks for the opportunity to win a gift card there.
I follow you on Facebook…
…and get your wonderful blog posts by email. Thanks, and best wishes!
I would love a vanilla latte (or two).
I’m a sucker for a Starbucks gift card.
Hope my lucky number comes up on the random number generator.
At least my odds of winning here are better than they were for the Powerball.
Ha! True.
I’ll treat my grandaughter!
No matter how cold it is out, I like my lattes iced!
I am on the e-mail list..Its so cold in KANSAS I will take any drink that is hot.
Snow on its way to us!
Thank you, Donna
Starbucks – my guilty pleasure on Friday morning drives to work.
Naturally, I don’t drink Starbucks without a gift card (that I didn’t pay for) so it might have been a long while since my last. Actually I think my last was my birthday drink last fall when it was free 🙂
Obviously I remain a happy subscriber.
And naturally, I follow you on Twitter 🙂
