I love in the fall when all the seasonal flavors hit the shelves at the store. You've got your Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts (not that I recommend them nutritionally), pumpkin ice cream (such as Edy's Slow Churned), and, my favorites, pumpkin spice coffee (such as the kind by Dunkin' Donuts and Green Mountain Coffee) and creamer (such as the kind by Coffee Mate). Anyways, I was super excited when I ran into my K-cups and coffee creamer for the fall!
It's a great way to have my pumpkin spice latte without the cost or calories of Starbucks. Seriously though. I got my K-cups at Bed, Bath & Beyond with a 20% coupon, making it $9.59/18 or $0.53/each. The coffee mate creamer was $1.38 at a local grocery store. I just use one serving of creamer per cup, bringing my total to about $0.57/cup (10 oz) and 35 calories. Bonus: it still tastes like coffee and not liquid pie. At Starbucks, you're looking at 130 calories for a short-8oz (skim milk and no whipped cream) and probably close to $4.
