Caribou Orders that Will Not Break Your College Budget

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

The perfect season starts with the perfect cup of coffee, but that does not mean it should cost you half of your Netflix bill. Today I am going to be sharing with you some of my recent caribou orders that are budget friendly and fall approved.  

Bonus! Two of these orders are a size large and each order will ring up to less than four dollars. However, you should keep in mind that your location may alter the initial prices.  

First up is the “milk tea” drink, this is not a coffee drink, but it is still a popular order and a drink that resonates with an iced chai tea. And the best part, like most of these orders, is that you can customize it depending on your preference of flavor and sweetness. To order the “milk tea” drink, you would ask for an iced black tea with flavor shots of your choosing. Then, ask for heavy cream. This order will cost you $3.89 in total, after the $1.20 for 1 ½ flavor shots, for a large iced milk tea.  

Ps. I personally like to ask for less ice and my choice of flavoring would be 1 pump of vanilla and a half pump of something festive, like pumpkin.  

Next, I would like to introduce what I am calling the “Coffee of the Day, with BAZAZZ.” It is exactly what it sounds like too, a simple coffee spiced up to protect your wallet but bring on the fall vibes. To order the “Coffee of the Day, with BAZAZZ,” first you would ask for the coffee of the day. Simple. Then, ask for a splash of milk as well as a pump of flavoring. Extra simple. The total cost of this order, after the surcharge of $0.80, is $3.59.  

Ps. I like to add almond milk to my coffee. Along with a half pump of white chocolate syrup and a half pump of hazelnut. This order makes for the perfect hot fall drink and because you can always change it up with different flavor combos, it will always be fresh and appealing.  

My final order that I must share with you would be the “Oh-So-Extra Cup of Hot Cocoa.” This order is ideal for the colder nights of fall when you just want to be toasty, but not overly caffeinated. To order the “Oh-So-Extra Cup of Hot Cocoa” you would first ask for a small hot chocolate. Then, ask for half a flavor shot of your choosing. However, with this order white chocolate syrup was the most fitting. And to top it off, ask for a half flavor shot of something that draws your attention, like caramel or even marshmallow! The total cost for this order is $3.99. 

Ps. I prefer to ask for whip cream on top as well, for an extra $0.80, as it adds more fluff to the drink. However, asking for a splash of milk of your choosing would result in the same effect, just allergy friendly.
