Score at Starbucks this Season

So my friend Sarah Shandl e-mailed today with this request: “I need to learn your sneaky Starbucks system of getting drinks cheap by ordering them differently… share your secrets!”

I thought I’d share my response so you too can indulge in your grande-reduced-fat-eggnogg-latte sans guilt.

It’s an easy 4 step process:

  1. Order americano mistos. They’re like lattes but with more espresso for less money. Good deal, right?
  2. Now, go buy a Starbucks card. 
  3. Go online and register it. Once you’ve registered it you get syrups and milk changes/adds for free!
  4. So, you like gingerbread lattes? Now order it like this: “I’d like a gingerbread-americano-misto-with-whip” Voila! your latte for half the price!

Enjoy!

‘Tis the season for tricking starbucks into giving you the same drink for half the price. Your readership should thank my inquiring mind and dwindling bank account for saving them a couple of bucks!
