Coffee lovers are always looking for ways for saving money at Starbucks.
If you spend a lot of money on coffee, then you probably want to know about saving money at Starbucks. Despite the fact that coffee is so expensive, there are several ways you can reduce the dent the Starbucks coffee makes on your wallet or purse.
Sign up for the Starbucks Rewards Program
The Starbucks Rewards Program is one of the quickest and easiest ways to save money at Starbucks. As a part of the program, participants will earn Stars for buying Starbucks products. After accumulating enough Stars, the participant can redeem them for eligible food or drink products. Additionally, participants qualify for a free birthday treat if they download the Starbucks app.
Look for Discounted Starbucks Gift Cards
An easy way to save a little bit of money with minimal effort is to buy Starbucks gift cards at a discount. Instead of buying a $25 Starbucks gift card for $25, you can probably find it online from eBay or a gift card reseller for a slightly lower price, such as $24. You can stack on the savings by purchasing the discounted gift card with a credit card that provides cash back rewards.
Download the Starbucks App
The Starbucks app allows users to take part in discounted products and freebies. The app is also a perfect complement to the Starbucks Rewards Program when it’s your birthday.
Order Tea Without Water
When Starbucks employees brew tea, they produce a drink that is very strong. To make it more appetizing to most customers, employees will mix water into the tea to dilute it. So instead of ordering your normal size tea, order a smaller size but have no water added. Then add water yourself to dilute it to the taste you prefer
Order a Smaller Size Drink
The standard sizes available at Starbucks include Tall, Grande and Venti. But what do you do if you want a drink in a smaller size for a lower price? Just ask for it. If you ask for your coffee to come in a “Short” size, you will get a cup of coffee that is even smaller than the Tall (Starbucks’ officially smallest size).
Share Your Drink
Buy the largest size Starbucks offers (Venti), then split it with a friend. This will save money for you and your friend by avoiding the purchase of two smaller sizes. If you want to split coffee with more than one friend, order your coffee in a French press. The French press serves 32 ounces of coffee, easily enough to split among three or four friends.
Bring a Refillable Cup
If you provide Starbucks with a reusable cup, they will take 10 cents off the cost of your drink. So not only are you saving a little bit of money, but helping the environment, too.
Look for Special Promotions
Starbucks has regular promotions throughout the year, such as happy hours and holiday specials. Follow Starbucks on social media to stay up to date on the most recent offerings.
Make Your Own Latte
If you purchase three shots of espresso, you can create your own latte by adding your own sugar and cream at the condiment bar. Keep in mind that this won’t work if you regularly purchase your coffee through the drive-thru window.
Ask for Less Ice or Milk
Milk and ice take up space in your cup. This means you get less coffee. If you must have ice or milk to enjoy your drink, ask for or provide a container large enough to hold the amount of coffee you ordered plus room for the milk or ice.
