My Top 3 Starbucks Inspired Fall Drinks // Sunny’s Sweet Sunday

Trying to save money? Well stop spending so much on your daily Starbucks drinks and make them yourself at home! They taste just as good, if not better…and you can add as much honey as you like;-)

But seriously guys, Starbucks has amazing drinks with wonderful flavors, yes, but they are seriously expensive (think about it, 5 Dollars everyday, 5 times a week, makes 100 dollars per month, which means 5000 dollars per year…that could be your luxury dream vacation!!) and sometimes you have no idea what they put into that drink of yours. I think I´ve said this so many times: Making your own food and drinks at home is much healthier, because you have full control of what you put into your food or in this case drink!

But now let´s start saving A LOT of money;-) and treating out tastebuds!
