How To Save At STARBUCKS

"It costs HOW MUCH?!"

We may not say it out loud, but we all think it at one point or another.

High prices hit some harder than others, but no matter what tax bracket you're in, we all want to save.

There are still some tricks and tips out there that can help you do just that!

STARBUCKS - 

It's a weakness for many, myself included. Unfortunately, it's also a drain on the wallet. 

If you tend to order regular drip coffee with cream/milk, here's a money saving tip for you:

Less Is More!

Order one size smaller than you normally would, but ask for it in the larger cup size. 

"In a Tall cup, I would like a Short Pike, please."

(Side Note: For those of you that don't know, there is a size smaller than Tall!

It's called a Short.

It's not really featured, so not a lot of customers know about it.)

This automatically gives you "room". After you add your cream/milk, depending on how much you take, you're basically back to the same size as a Tall, but for the price of a Short!

 This also prevents the barista from pouring some of your paid-for coffee down the drain to give you "room".

That's my money going down the drain!

You could do this with any two sizes:

"In a Grande cup, I would like a Tall True North, please."
