Finally, instead of jacking up the price of coffee, Starbucks has our backs.

You can now save cash when you zip in for your coffee buzz. What was $1.53 for a small drip coffee is now $1.00 at select stores in Seattle, with free refills. We just love a free refill.

Rivals McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts, who sell their 10 oz. varieties at around a buck a pop could be a factor in the new price drop. However, according to FOX News, the lower price is "not indicative of any new business strategy." Uh, OK Starbucks. We're buying that.

Stay tuned... maybe the buzz will hit a 'bucks near you.
