Hocus Pocus, I need Coffee to Focus? Oh wait? You too?
Then you should probably read these tips!
We all love the legendary Starbucks. When I was working at the hospital I drank it every SINGLE DAY. Sometimes almost 2-3 times.. terrible habit, yada, yada, I know. I had my tastebuds treated with every flavor, caramel machiatto, flat white, black tea with lemonade, passion fruit, pumkin spice latte, gingerbread latte, and of course the sometimes much needed black coffee.
Though Starbucks has some of the most delicious coffee, LIKE EVER… If you find yourself buying it everyday it can leave a nice hole in your wallet. Because of my love for this expensive taste I have been experimenting different ways to knock down the price. Sooo what you’re all here for 10, YES TEN, ways YOU can save money at Starbucks.
1. TIP: First and one of the MOST important to me: When ordering coffee, & you know you’ll add cream,milk/sugar... order a cup size up, putting your grande in a venti. this way you get the most of your coffee. Most of the time there is not enough room for milk or cream & you have to drink hot coffee before to be able add any. By ordering a cup size up you don’t have to worry about pouring any coffee out or having to drink any, burning your tongue before adding your milk or cream. Enjoy your creamy coffee.
2. SAVE: STOP, I repeat, Stop paying for a brand stinkin’ new coffee after you finish the first. If you are studying or hanging out in the store you are eligible for a 50 cent refill every dang time, UH-MAZING! Some mornings I get there earlier than needed just to enjoy my first cup & bring along my second.
3. Tagging along with #2 why don’t you save yourself 10 cents EACH VISIT by bringing a reusable cup when ordering! I purchased a reusable Starbucks plastic cup and use it all the time. It may not sound like a lot but if you do this (yes I did the math) you could save up to around $30 dollars a year. (which is a lot of extra coffee lol)
4. Instead of ordering your iced latte, order a triple expresso OVER ICE. You’ll add milk on your own (which they have in store) AND you’ll be saving 2$ each time.
5. Like Chai Latte? Weeell order a hot chai tea instead and just add your milk! This also saves 2-4$ depending on the size you order!
6. CALORIE intake can be ooooh a tad bit high when ordering these delicious drinks. So if you’re one to count like me you can order the FAMOUS Pumpkin Spice latte which has around 500+. OR you can order a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino, it taste just as good and is only 230 calories.
7. If you order a short cappuccino it actually has more caffeine than a tall AND it’s cheaper!!!
8. When you really need a good pick me up and are thinking about ordering that strong black coffee.. order a Americano instead! The Americano is actually cheaper and has more caffeine than your regular black coffee. Whoop, Whoop.
9. TIP: Sign up for the Starbucks Rewards and pay on the app. Each time you do you earn stars that help you receive FREE and discounted drinks & food. The app is also extremely helpful on busy days when you don’t have time to wait in the long line of tired souls & get to work on time... so order & pay ahead of time by choosing your fav location on the app and place your order. Your order should be hot and ready for ya when you arrive.
10. IF you get the app it includes FREE birthday drinks AND a lot of FREE refills!!!
