Starbucks debuted its “12 Days of Sharing” on December 1st, which is basically daily deals on gift items at Starbucks. Too bad it doesn’t apply to drinks to be had in the store.

To find out each day’s deal, you can text MERRY to 697289 to have the offers sent to your phone (standard texting rates apply), or your can visit the Starbucks Let’s Merry website.

Each day you will be able to unveil a new deal on the Starbucks tree (left) by clicking on that day’s ornament. For example, today (Friday, December 2nd), the deal is on bags of coffee or the Starbucks VIA instant coffee (see image, below).

(Thanks to Houston on the Cheap for reminding me about this deal–I should have posted this yesterday!)
