Of course with the economy as it is right now, most companies are struggling. Starbucks is defininitely one of them. In attempts to draw more customers, they’re implementing a “menu deal”.

For $3.95, you will be able to order a latte with coffee cake or a drip coffee with a hot sandwich starting on March 3rd.  CEO, Howard Schultz, said he never would make the move to a “value menu” structure, but such a move is necessary right now.

Now, I’m really hoping these prices will also apply for NYC Starbucks. The latte I like to get is $4.90 after tax. With prices like that, I’d at least like to get a small snack with it when I do “splurge” for a Starbucks latte. Also if the overall price is cheaper, I could splurge more often; but I don’t believe those prices will make it to the city.
