Mila Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Don't despair if store-bought coffee is your biggest spending vice. Help is on its way, in the form of these smart saving tips that will work at your local Starbucks. Don't thank us — just drink up! — Additional reporting by Whitney Ban Get Creative Don't limit yourself to the standard drinks. There are plenty of options that are well under $4, such as iced coffee. If you think that spending less means boring drinks, think again. Check out some the most creative Starbucks mystery menu concoctions under $3. And if you must go the latte route, try the caffe misto, which is made of of half coffee and half milk. It is not only cheaper, but also has less calories! Source: Flickr user StephenCarlile Refills For 50 Cents Sometimes one cup just doesn't cut it. Any time throughout the day and on any size, you can refill your cup with brewed coffee for just 50 cents during the same visit. Not a bad price for an extra pick-me-up. Bring Your Own Cup You'll save 10 cents on the price of your drink when you bring in your own reusable cup, mug, or travel tumbler.

The ice and water used in Starbucks is triple-filtered!

It will be cheaper than ordering the drinks individually. Share with friends or hoard it if you plan on staying at Starbucks for a while, and enjoy the caffeine buzz. Source: Shutterstock Ask For "No Water" With Your Tea According to one barista on Quora, "Iced Teas are double-strength in pitcher and watered down for your final recipe." To get more a bang for a buck, request "no water" with your tea, and it won't be watered down. If you sign up for the Starbucks reward program (registration is free), you're entitled to a free drink when your birthday comes around. Keep in mind that you'll have to redeem it in the 30 days after your birthday.

At no cost to you, a registered card will get you lots of freebies. Here's what you can expect: Welcome level (which you attain after using your card once) Free drink or food on your birthday Green level (which you attain after using your card five times) Free refills in store Welcome level rewards Specialized email offers Gold level (which you attain after using your card 30 times in 12 months) Free drink or food reward after every 12 purchases Welcome and green level rewards Personalized offers and coupons Personalized gold card Order a Short There's an even smaller size than "tall," and it's called "short." It's smaller than a "tall," but it's also less expensive. The "short" cappuccino, will have the same amount of espresso as the as its "tall" version, says Slate.

Or, you can pick a bag up at the grocery store. There are even recipes you find online that show you how to make more of its complicated drinks like this frappuccino recipe.
