Wawa vs Starbucks

I love Wawa coffee. I know, it probably isn't any different from Sheets or 7-11. But there are so many more flavors and options at Wawa. It tastes so much better than Starbucks. Starbucks rots my stomach; I feel like I am drinking sludge. Wawa, I can stomach it just fine and can completely control what goes into that cup of coffee.

I had to challenge my brain the other day. For me to obtain a cup of Wawa coffee, is no easy task. You see, the nearest Wawa is about 14 miles. The nearest Starbucks, about 6 miles. But when you factor in the cost of gas and the cost of the coffee, it costs the same no matter which place I go.

Oh, I can hear The Crunchy Mom telling me that I am not helping the environment by driving the 28 mile RT to get a 16oz cup of coffee. I do work it in with a multitude of other stops I have to make, and only do this about 2x a month. Why should I sit and idle in a line of 15 cars in the Starbucks drive thru dumping toxins into the air for nothing more than a cup of sludge with tons of fat in it?

See, Crunchy Mom, I did think it through!

(Besides, my husband will eat nothing but Wawa hoagies).
