We’re not ashamed to admit it. We are totally addicted to Starbucks — but with the news that several cafes are closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re all wondering what we will do if we aren’t able to get our daily Starbucks fix. Now, when I say Starbucks is closing their cafes, that doesn’t mean Starbucks will be completely unavailable because delivery and drive-thru will still be open, but you won’t be able to step inside and enjoy your coffee in one of Starbucks’ cafes.
The good news? These dupes will save us like a million dollars a year. OK, maybe not a million dollars — but if we estimate our Starbucks spending at around five bucks a day, five days a week, that’s $1,200 a year. So sit back, try to relax (I know, it’s hard right now) and check out these 21 Starbucks recipes you can recreate at home.
