Is your Starbucks spending habit—like ours—already totally out of control? Sorry to tell you this, coffee lovers, but more money trouble may be brewing.

Reuters reports the java joint is upping the price of its tall coffees and lattes by 10 cents in the Northeast and Sunbelt.

Live in New York, Boston, Atlanta, Dallas, Washington, or Albuquerque? Your morning cup o’ joe is getting a 1 percent jolt in price, and other drinks also are slated to see a cost increase, the news service adds.

It’s the first time Starbucks has charged more “across-the-board” since 2007, Reuters adds, noting that grande prices won’t change. Can we get a hallelujah?

“These adjustments are the result of balancing the cost of doing business with competitive dynamics in these markets,” Starbucks spokesman Jim Olson tells the news service.

Hey, brother, can you spare a dime? We really need a Pike Place fix. How’s that for balance?

Kind of makes you want to brew a cup at home! These coffee recipes make that proposition delicious.
