tl;dr: I want to make the most value out of this prize besides drinking Starbucks everyday but I can’t seem to think of one.

Good day everyone,

So you read it right, I am one of a few people who won Starbucks for Life in Canada (actually it’s only 30 years) 2 years ago.

I’m not writing this to brag or anything similar. I’m just an average salary earner who’s trying to maximize the value of everything.

The prize is: 1 Starbucks item (food or drink) per day (excluding alcohol beverages and merchandise) for 30 years Starbucks estimated the value of this prize is around CA$65,000. Credits are non transferable.

Some of the max value I was able to get were: – Coffee Traveller ~ $20 – A Tea with 12 additional teabags on the side (a 12 teabags package is $12 + tax)

I feel like drinking at Starbucks and invest ~$6/day seems like the best options but I’m gaining weight from all the drinks. I’m just trying to see if there is any better ideas out here.

Thank you in advance for all the ideas to come.

Edit: I just returned here after my work day seeing all the wholesome comments! Thank you very much for your inputs. I read every single one of it and appreciate them all.
