Starbucks Hacks to Save Money and Get Through Finals

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CU Boulder chapter.

 

With finals just a week away, learn how to save some money while still getting in your daily caffeine fix. Here are some tips and tricks on how to save a few bucks at Starbs.

 

Iced Latte Trick-Instead of ordering an iced latte, ask for a triple shot of espresso over ice. Then, head over to the condiments and add milk yourself. It is the same thing as an iced latte but it’s only $2.

 

 

Bring your own cup! If you bring a reusable cup from home, you can get 10 cents off.

Sign up for the rewards program. This one is huge. It doesn’t cost anything to sign up and you receive stars each time you purchase a drink, eventually leading to a free drink. Additionally, you get a free birthday drink!

 

A latte with chai syrup is the same thing as ordering a dirty chai. The difference is you don’t get charged for the espresso shots that are added into a dirty chai.

 

Share with your friends! If you order a venti frappucino and split it instead of ordering two talls, you save $3.

 

 

Don’t forget about refills! Do not throughout your cup if you know that you will be back later in the day. You can get a refill for 50 cents if you ordered a hot coffee, iced coffee, hot tea, or iced tea.
