I posted earlier today about the Starbucks card and the free things that come with it. Well, thanks to Julia at the Frugal Find she saw today that Safeway just announced on their Facebook Page that they are now honoring the Starbucks Rewards Cards when you use them in their store! In case you’re not aware of the savings you can get here are the details from Starbucks directly:

We want to say “thanks” for coming into our stores and using a registered Starbucks Card. With My Starbucks Rewards, you’ll earn 1 Star every time you pay with your Card. And as you collect Stars, you move up to bigger benefits.

Just for registering your card you’ll get a FREE Artisan Breakfast Sandwich coupon (limited time) ANDA Free Drink on your Birthday. All registered Starbucks Card holders get a handcrafted birthday beverage of their choice. My Starbucks Rewards will make you feel special all year long, but for this one day you’re extra special.
