NEW YORK (Channel 6 News)- Starbucks has raised the prices of their already expensive coffee drinks …again.

On Tuesday, Starbucks began raising the prices of their drinks in two regions of the U.S.: The Northeast and sunbelt regions.

The price increase itself is reportedly a mere 1%, although their already expensive prices have been steadily ascending, and this 1% price increase isn’t helping the wallets of coffee drinkers across the country.

The company stated that the price increase has been put in place in order to offset fuel prices, operating expenses, and other things of the sort.
