Raise your hand if you love your Starbucks?! Yep, me too... I can't help it. Every now and then it's nice to have that white cup with your name written on it by the barista, right? But it can get pricey... So I've put together a few of my tips
for saving money at Starbucks. Every little bit counts!
1. Join the Rewards Program! You'll have to buy a gift card and then register it, but when you do you'll receive the following:
FREE drink on your birthday
FREE refills on brewed or iced coffee or tea (if you stay in the store)
Exclusive offers and discounts
Earn a star for every purchase you make with your registered Starbucks gift card (these add up to FREE drinks, too!)
2. Make Starbucks at Home! We buy the bags of Starbucks coffee or use the Keriug. We even save our cups from our regular "Starbucks trips" and use them when we make coffee at home for the road to make it feel even more real.Plus, in addition to earning stars by purchasing packaged Starbucks coffee at the grocery store, you can also bring your empty bag to a Starbucks and exchange it for a FREE tall brewed coffee!
3. Look out for Discount Days! Starbucks will periodically run "happy hour" promotions. These are awesome. They're usually BOGO deals from around 2-4 or 5. And "rewards" members usually get an extra hour, another benefit to the program. My Target always has a Starbucks and my receipt will print out great coupons too. I always keep those handy, because a good "Target Run" with a Starbucks in hand is always fun. :)
