> My morning starbucks routine has changed from 2 food items to just 1, which alone saves me $200/mo (sorry starbucks). Starbucks food is especially calorie dense. I realized this when I lost a bunch of weight in 2018 and I noticed the calorie counts on the printed cards that some stores have. Even for junk food, Starbucks junk food is more calorific than average for the same items. I started to consider that for a typical customer's consumption, McDonald's might actually be healthier than Starbucks. Which totally goes against the image people have of both places. People think if they are "going for coffee", it's better for you than having a milkshake and following it with candy. But it's essentially what they're doing.
