For some of us, travel and coffee go hand in hand. Seattle’s Best Coffee has new ready-to-drink Iced Lattes, and for this contest we’re giving away a terrific gift box full of them. Even if your usual travel experience is limited to your morning commute to work, grabbing one of these coffee drinks and hitting the road is a great way to have a morning treat (and save a little coffee brewing prep time as well).
Seattle’s Best Coffee Iced Lattes come in three varieties; plain Iced Latte, Iced Mocha, and Iced Vanilla Latte. This giveaway is for four cans of each, for a total of 12 ready-to-drink Iced Lattes. These ready-to-drink Iced Lattes fit the bill for coffee drinkers. They are also really tasty, but not so sweet that they’re like candy — ideal for first thing in the morning. Of the three flavors, my personal favorite is the Iced Mocha.
Now, Seattle’s Best Coffee did a little research, and found that close to 75% of Americans are in such a rush in the morning that they have adopted a few time savers to help them get out of the house on time in the morning. To enter this contest giveaway, simply leave a comment below describing a way in which you save time in the morning. The winner will be chosen by a random number generator. The contest giveaway will remain open until 6:00PM PST June 8, and the winner will be announced on June 9, 2010. Please don’t enter more than once a day, and immediate relatives of The Vacation Gals should not enter at all. Good luck!
I drink iced coffee every morning, but I keep about 5 days worth in a big glass pitcher in the fridge. I get many benefits from this — I don’t have to brew coffee each morning AND my iced coffee isn’t watered down from too much ice because it’s already cold in the fridge!
Does delegation count? My husband is great at starting the coffee for me in the morning since I’m not a morning person–he knows its in the interest of us both if he gets things going.
We save time in the morning by packing lunches the night before if we are going to need one the next day (for school, work, outings, etc.)
I make sure that all my bags are packed and loaded in the car the night before leaving on a trip. It forces me to be better organized, and it’s one less thing to do in the morning.
We set up the coffee pot to go off 1/2 hour before we get up. The smell of fresh coffee brewing makes it easier to get out of bed.
We save time by setting out clothes the night before.
As someone who gets up with just enough time to get dressed and get out the door, I make my lunch the night before. This saves quite a bit of time for me in the morning! And sometimes, although not doctor recommended, I don’t take my contacts out at night. Yeah, I’m bad.
I save time in the morning by having my clothes layed out, the lunches packed the night before, and program my coffee pot to be ready when I wake up.
Make sure clothes are ironed and lunch is made the night before
I am NOT a morning person!
The way we make things easier in the morning is have things at our fingertips from what we laid out the night before. The lunch is ready and just needs the freezer pack to be put in the bag in the morning. The towels and the washclothes are set out for the showers the night before.
I like to save a few minutes in the morning by having my little brother make my coffee for me. Also, I drive quickly and disregard speed limits. I also ignore stop lights and turn signals. However, I would not recommend my methods for inexperienced drivers.
Pre planning the night before!

Every morning, I get up at 5 am and pack my fiance’s lunch. To save time, I prepack some of the items I know I will be throwing into the bag and have them ready to go. I don’t to that with his sandwich though, because I hate stale sandwiches, so I won’t send him to work with a sandwich made the night before. He gets a fresh brewed coffee and a fresh sandwich!
I get up an hour or two before the kids so I can get things done without them in the way.
I save time in the morning by getting up stinking early! Seriously though, I do pack lunches the night before and set out running clothes for my morning run.

Sorry folks, but I don’t need to save time in the morning. I’m retired, but I’ve got to have my iced coffee while I play online poker. I make a pot about every three days and keep it in the fridge.

I load up the woodstove with slow burning hard wood just before bedtime- by morning, the heat is just right to cook some eggs up quick- not too hot, just right!

Thank you.
