For Some, Happiness Can Come in a Cup

I admit: I love coffee. Maybe you do, too. So, I thought I'd assist all of our wallets with this little piece of information/happiness.

Today, May 6, starts Happy Hour at Starbucks. 

That means from 3-5 p.m., you can get half-priced frappucinos. 

The Happy Hour is daily through May 15.

Now that is what I classify as good news. 

Community Yard Sale Goes Monthly

 

The Byron Community Yard Sale will now take place once a month, thanks to an overwhelming response from the community. The next one is set for Saturday, May 21 along the railroad tracks in downtown Byron to sell your stuff. First come first serve and be ready to sell by 8 a.m. For questions contact the Byron Better Hometown office at 956-5555.  You can go to downtown Byron and browse the yard sales, the Byron Farmers and Artisans Market as well as other local businesses downtown. 

 

Save a Cup for Earth Day, Get Free Coffee

Conserve. Get free coffee.

In honor of Earth Day today, you can bring your travel mug to Starbuck's and get a free cup of coffee.

On any day though, you can bring your travel mug or tumbler to Starbuck's and receive 10 cents off your purchase, or you can order your drink "for here" and drink out of a non-paper cup.

Starbuck's Earth Day article says that 1.2 million people participated last year. That's a lot of saved paper cups! And that's just one day.

What if we used our travel mugs every day?
