Starbucks raising drink prices
It’s going to cost you more for that Starbucks drink beginning today. In a news release from Starbucks this morning: “On July 12, Starbucks made a small price adjustment in U.S. company-operated stores. Depending on the market, customers will experience increases of 10 to 20 cents on select sizes of brewed coffee to have, and 10 to 30 cents on espresso beverages and tea lattes. We expect the average customer ticket to increase by about one percent as a result of these beverage adjustments, however, 65 percent of beverage prices have not changed.”
Verizon Prime Day
Today Amazon Prime members get to spend a lot and save a lot as Amazon holds a one day sale for Prime Members only. USAToday says many retailers are fighting back by holding special sales today too. They equate this to the new Black Friday, Cyber Monday and other special sale days
