EDINA, MN – We all love our Starbucks fix, but those daily trips can add up fast. A former Starbucks barista has spilled the beans on how to save money while still enjoying your go-to drinks. Here are some mistakes you’re making and how to avoid them!

Skip the Ice Overload

Why pay for a cup half-filled with ice? If you want to get the most out of your drink, always ask for light ice. It’s an option right on the Starbucks app, and it’ll make sure you’re getting more of what you love.

Latte Logic

If you’re craving a hot venti latte or cappuccino, reconsider. These larger sizes only have two shots of espresso—the same amount as a grande. You’re just getting more milk and paying more for it. Stick with the grande and save your cash.

Americano Hacks

Thinking of ordering an Americano? Think again! A grande Americano is just three shots of espresso and water, costing you about $4. Instead, ask for a double or triple shot of espresso in a grande cup and add your own water. This simple switch can save you up to a dollar!

Reward Yourself with Rewards

Love those stylish Starbucks tumblers? Instead of buying one, use the Starbucks rewards program.

Rack up 400 points, and you can choose any merchandise up to $20. Plus, using your own cup gives you a discount on your drink and extra rewards points. Win-win!

Free Water Trick

Feeling thirsty? Skip buying bottled water. Starbucks offers free cups of water. Just ask for it at the counter and save your money for something more exciting.

Customize and Save

Customize your drink smartly. Small changes like adding syrups or switching milk types can make a big difference in price. Be savvy with your choices to enjoy your favorite flavors without breaking the bank.
