How to Save Money at Starbucks
Posted on: 2014-11-20 12:00 AM AS we get stretched thinner and thinner every daay it's nice to know where you can have some luxuries and save a few pennies.
1. Want to save the environment and a few pennies? Did you know that Starbucks will knock off ten cents of your total price if you bring your own cup with you? Any cup will do, but I personally love the Starbucks mugs they sell. They are a bit pricey, but they last forever and they are dishwasher safe, plus insulated to keep warm drinks warm and cold drinks cold. You won’t regret this investment if you drink coffee often enough.
2. Loyalty is worth something to a business and they are willing to pay you for it. One of my favorite tips for saving money in Starbucks is to get a Starbucks card! It’s free, and only takes seconds to register it online. After you register, you will get tons of benefits including regular free drinks, free shots of syrups and milk, and several other to-good-to-pass-up offers. Ask a barista about it the next time you go into Starbucks!
3. I'm a big sharer. Here’s a great way to save money in Starbucks and still get exactly what you want. Next time you hit up Starbucks with your friend, order a venti. Then, ask for an extra cup and split the venti with your friend! Starbucks won’t charge for an extra cup, and by doing this you essentially get a grande sized beverage of your choice for about 1.50 cheaper! It's a little more romantic if you just get a second straw though...:-)
4. I enjoy an iced coffee in the afternoon, and I if the weather is right I usually order one whenever time I go into Starbucks. Here’s one way to save money in Starbucks if you like iced coffees as much as I do. Order what you want and request light ice. Ice tends to take up a lot of space, so you really only need enough to keep your drink cold. If you order a tall coffee with light ice, you are almost getting as much coffee as you would in a grande cup! It make the coffee taste better too!
