With the beginning of fall upon us, it's been no surprise that people have already been caught up in the annual pumpkin spice craze. With various coffee brands selling pumpkin-spice k-cups, we're sure that nothing quite beats the original Starbucks edition. What if, however, you're like me, and are currently a time-constrained college student on a tight budget? Well, fortunately, Starbucks has been listening to our struggles, and for a limited time only, they are selling packs of 40-ounce Pumpkin Spice Latte at your local Walmart or Target that you can take on the go!
Health and Cost Benefits
As if this blessing is be too good to be true, these servings of PSLs are healthier than ordering a latte in store! These drinks supposedly contain reduced fat-milk, Starbucks espresso coffee, sugar, and pumpkin flavoring. Each serving has 150 calories and 24 grams of sugar, compared to a traditional Starbucks latte that has a whopping 300 calories and 39 grams of sugar.
These drinks come five in a pack, with each bottle supposedly containing five servings of coffee (yes, you heard me!) Each pack costs around $4.99 (prices vary depending on the store), while one iced latte is around that same price.

The catch, however, is that these drinks are only available for a limited time, so grab these affordable packs of pumpkin spice before we're back to waiting in long lines for a $5 venti!
