Do you love Starbucks but hate spending $5 on a single cup of coffee? Lucky for you, my lovely roommate works at Starbucks and let me in on some life changing new ways to order what you love, without having to choose between lunch and Starbucks goodness!
Your hot Venti Latte has two shots of espresso in it, and so does a Grande; order a Grande for the same amount of caffeine that’s cheaper and less calories.
Get the Starbucks app! For green members you get free in store refills and gold members get every 12th drink free.
You also get a FREE birthday drink and discounts on their online store as a member.
Ask for your tea without water then add it when you get home; the ratio they use is 1:1. You’ll get more than one drink for the same price.
You can buy gift cards online at a discounted price on websites like Cardpool.com and Giftcardgranny.com. Add them to your Starbucks account for the full face value and you can save up to 25%.
If you stick to just coffee, you can ask for a Tall in a Grande cup or a Grande in a Venti cup to maximize your coffee and leave enough room for cream and sugar!
Double up and split with a friend instead of ordering two Talls! If you order a Venti and an extra cup, you get the same amount for nearly half the price.
Ask for your tea without ice either, then just add it later if you must. But without it, you can double your dosage if you just add it yourself.
Any size of iced water is FREE! If you don’t know this what rock are you living under? Seriously though, can I get under that rock and forget that Zayn left One Direction?
If you love Chai lattes you can get them made with milk, not water, and no foam, and it will bring out the taste of the spices and give you a few extra sips.
Lastly be kind to the baristas! I know you want your White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha with extra whip, four shots and made at exactly 193 degrees, but that doesn’t mean you should act like an angry elf in Starbucks.
