Starbucks Tests $1 Coffee, Free Refills
Starbucks Tests $1 Coffee, Free Refills By ELIZABETH M. GILLESPIE | AP Business Writer 4:25 PM CST, January 23, 2008 SEATTLE - Faced with growing competition from cheaper rivals, Starbucks Corp. is selling small cups of drip coffee for $1 with free refills as part of a test in its hometown.
That's about 50 cents less than the Seattle-based coffee retailer normally charges for an 8 oz. cup of joe, though prices vary from store to store.
The suggested retail price for a slightly larger 10 oz. cup of premium roast at competitors like McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts is $1.07 and $1.39, respectively, the companies said Wednesday.
Starbucks said in statement e-mailed Wednesday by spokeswoman Bridget Baker that the test "is not indicative of any new business strategy."

10 They must be feeling a bit of a bite from the other coffee places out there.

And even at $1 they will make a crazy profit. At work a pouch of coffee enough to fill an air pot, maybe 10 cups worth costs us about 80 cents, I am sure that is about what it costs starbucks per pot, or even less.

They opened yet another Starbucks in our city. That makes 3 within 5 minutes of my house.

We could use from RR fans here. Considering her overall popularity it isn't really represented on here.

Haha, I love Rachael, I want to see the Iron Chef where she and Mario Batali battled Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis.
