I dunno, I bought a venti dark roast yesterday... $2.39 canadian (about $2 US) which is pretty much in line on a per ounce basis with Tim Hortons, and I can tell you that the starbucks coffee is a much better coffee.
For comparision, an extra large timmy's here is $1.69, but the starbucks cup is somewhat larger, so it would cost around $2 for the same amount at TH.
PR_Tom: Here's the deal. I live alone, I want to have a couple of cups of coffee a day, and I really enjoy coffee. Making coffee at home for myself alone means I either (1) drink way too much because it is available or (2) make two pots a day and drink one cup out of each. I own a pretty darn good coffee machine too. Either of those choices is going to cost me more than the $4 or so a day I dump on coffee now, plus the hassle of getting decent coffee beans (speciality store, not folgers, thanks), making sure the cream is fresh, and the time and effort required to make the coffee, clean up after, and maintain the equipment properly... it isn't lifestyle, it's logic at a point.
The better choice is to have none at all, but since I have look since been addicted to coffee, kicking the habit isn't an easy option anymore. If I don't have coffee by about 4 or 5 in the afternoon I have a pretty evil headache.
